Northern Ireland has two of the most dogmatic parties in the UK. Sinn Fein are a bunch of far-left marxist commies with ties to the IRA while the DUP are a bunch of bible-thumpers from the 50s. A lot of people from the Republic of Ireland feel alienated by the dogmatic republicanism from Northern Ireland and they often have a different experience from them. I remember seeing some Nationalists on Twatter sperg about how some poll/census thing only covered the Republic of Ireland and not the six counties. I mean, it's a different country for goodness sake!

In county Antrim and other parts of unionist dominated areas, you get a lot of bible-thumpers and you'll see UDA flags like in Ballymena and Carrickfergus.

While I don't like either and I believe NI should stay in the UK if they want to or be repartitioned, many NI loyalists in general are pretty lolcowish and more so. They have this weird sense of entitlement that everybody should cater to them and this odd tilting at the windmill paranoia that the South/Eire/or the Republic and anything culturally Irish (Irish dancing, Gaelic, GAA, Hurling, etc.) is terrorist-sponsored and everyone else is out to get them and take away their "Britishness" and their "god-given" land (which was originally Irish and ruled by fierce clans) and they are oh so persecuted (some thinkthat they're the Lost tribe of Israel). Ironically the province had more Catholics/People identifying as Irish than Loyalist Protestant now! On the other hand, most in mainland Britain and the Republic probably don't really think much of Northern Ireland in their daily lives. Some like Willie Frazer, Ian Paisley Jr., and Gregory Campbell are really lulzy to be honest with their hateraging for Ireland and anything Irish in general. If you go to all the videos with Loyalist songs or on their Facebook pages, it's just a circlejerk of them whining about Irish people and "taigs" and how Ulster is British (do they even know that three of the nine counties are in ROI?). Some want the three counties included but then they'd whine that about the new Catholic/Irish majority. Others want a united Ireland under UK rule (that ain't gonna happen). I wonder how much better the relationships between the two ethnic groups would be if it wasn't for those two parties. The Nationalist and Loyalist communities need to learn how to share the land and get on with each other without those two political parties. Ironically, their slogan "No Surrender" came from Cork loyalists and the Red hand they used and the slogan "Lamh Dhearg Abu" (Irish Gaelic for Victory for the Red Hand, A language which they intensely hate) Cu Chulainn, all come from the O'Neill family from Tyrone and Irish Gaelic culture, they worship a Dutch king, and commemorate battles that took place in Leinster and Connacht (Battle of the Boyne and Aughrim) that people other than historians in the UK or Ireland couldn't really give a damn about.

To be honest, as an "Irish"-American myself, the victim complex of the Irish people is something that turned me completely sour on the whole culture. Even worse, my dad is all in on the Irish heritage shit, and I've gotten into screaming matches with him because I had the gall to call the IRA fucking terrorists no better than Al-Qaeda, and the British Army and RUC were stuck between a rock and a hard place trying to keep the two spergy factions in NI under control so people there could have a semblance of normal life. The Loyalists are bad, but in sheer screeching victimhood, I think the Catholics have them beat. Just my opinion though.
