Why active civil disobedience in Ireland is both increasing and morally justifiable

The Irish constitution defines treason narrowly as the attempt to destroy the state by violence. Thus, the criminals who accepted over $100 billion   debt to international banksters are not by this definition traitors; nor are the Irish banksters  who deliberately lied to the Irish authorities to get $10 billion to keep their Anglo scam going for a while; nor are the scum who destroyed our music industry, putting in its place the U2 Muppet show;

Taking the law into one’s own hands is exactly how revolutionary public like Ireland began.

For the first time, we have seen  Irish people going “postal” at higher rates than the USA and – a la the Dolce Vita – killing their children. There is a massive increase in suicide, alcoholism, and every other index. The Irish state is responding by exporting its talented and young people and replacing them with worker drones for corporate interests.

This is not a stable state of affairs

And yes, the threat of a centenary rerun on 1916  - very unlikely and probably even more of a military debacle - should be there and I am not willing to condemn groups like Eirigi
