The Troubles - was literally a rebellion violently suppressed... for 3 decades.

Let alone all of the Unionists are staunch monarchists and were tightly linked to government institutions.

I wasn't comparing anything to anything. You think that comparing The Troubles to bengal Famine, somehow excuses you from writing an obvious false sentence.

PS: Civil Unrest isn't Civil Unrest, when the army is literally shooting.

I just don’t see it as “extraordinarily cruel” when comparing to other cruelty committed. I see it as quite significantly reduced.

I’m not saying she was perfect, but describing her reign as extraordinarily cruel is a real stretch.

I really don’t want to talk about the troubles but if I’m going to be a dick I will mention that the IRA intentionally targeted civilians, I don’t think the military at that time are as black as they’re painted. It’s all villains I’m afraid.

The "I'm not a racist, but" speech.

You're also missing a few words in your rant here.

Shallow dismissals and insinuations I’m a racist(?) are not compelling arguments I’m afraid.

Also, three paragraphs do not a rant make. Nice try though.
