You go to a museum in germany that deals with violence and, correctly, they’re all like “this sucked shit and should never be done because it was a crime against humanity”
You go to a museum in Ireland that deals with violence and they’re like “We shot 10.000 english people who all deserved it and if we didn’t you wouldn’t be reading this. If they ever try anything again we’ll shoot 100.000 of them. Fuck em!”
Yes, my experience at the (I think recently opened) 1916 Uprising Museum was that they are much more open about all the radical contributors to the struggle for independence.
