The Provisional IRA was an explicitly left-wing socialist group (if not quite Marxist like the Official IRA were), the defanging of which has let right wing rats like McGregor get a bit brave.
As an American, just know that you have nothing to apologize for, and our embarrassment is much worse.
If only the laws worked the way they do now (and my dad was still alive), I'd be getting my Irish citizenship and sharing your much milder embarrassment.
My dad would have been able to do it, then I could have. My grandfather was first generation, so I can't unfortunately. My dad passed a few years ago due to ALS, so I'm SoL on that.
Its OK, my backup/escape plan is a digital nomad visa, then go from there. Thankfully I clear all hurdles for any of the countries offering them, I am OK (not great, but OK) at a few languages, etc. Saves the asylum option for others as things progress in the worst direction....
I dunno, Canada gave us Justin Bieber, the Brits gave us Russell Brand, every country has someone to apologize for, we just have a lot more of them. Except Sweden. Sweden is good.
IIRC nomadic peoples like the Huns actually had a society based on communal property. It was closer to a conservative take on anarcho-syndicalism than today's system.
Very little is known about the Hunnic culture, so it is not really possible to establish this with any certainty. That being said, it's pretty typical for pastorial nomads like this to collectively own and care for their herd. Although it's also worth noting that communal property does not usually extend between different tribes, even when these tribes were united to some extent, such as under Attila.
In general it's difficult to fairly place ancient tribal societies into the modern day political spectrum. The structure and scale of societies has changed radically.
Man I remember when Connor was the guy, i would gripe online about what a piece of shit racist, and general garbage person he was. I would get downvoted to hell on Reddit for hating on him and saying he was a shit person.
His livelihood does involve repeatedly receiving impact to his head so unless you're in a similar line of work there's a good chance you've aged better.

Sounds like a threat against the government. Should maybe be investigated if anything is behind that statement.
Oh I firmly believe it is one. I'd say his goal would be to whip up some crazies and cause some damage.
Thankfully not many people listen to him any more. He's a bit of a national embarrassment.
Sounds familiar. In any case don't let it get too close, resort to sabotage if necessary. Hire Khabib to follow him around if needed.
I'd say Khabib would do it for free.
I suspect a lot of daft lads do. I've chatted with late teen boys and they are all "Andrew Tste was fitted up!"
Careful you don't go the way of the US and elect your national embarrassment to the highest office in the country.
Got hit in the head too many times
The IRA would've put this prick in a wheelchair. Perhaps we've thrown the baby out with the bathwater.
Wheelchair? Weren't they more known for body bags?
They are referring to kneecapping, a traditional Irish punishment for... well, anyone that doesn't deserve a killing.
Informants and traitors, especially.

Thanks for the apology mate, but we don't blame you. Cunts hail from every corner of the world, we just have to do better at handling them together.
Otherwise 100% spot on though.

You can get it with proof of Irish parents or grandparents.

You likely have a case for Asylum these days which is a nice silver lining.
Soon enough, yeah.

Might I suggest McGanye?
I'm from the US, and I would like to say, your apology is truly unnecessary. We, and much of the world, could stand to learn a lot from Ireland
The difference between Connor and Kanye is that Id tell Kanye what I thought of him to his face.
Yank here. You have nothing to apologize for. We've unleashed far more absolute fuck heads onto the world than yous have, for sure.
You guys got him and Bono.
We've got like.... Damn near everyone else. Of anyone should be apologizing, it's me 😂
I dunno, Canada gave us Justin Bieber, the Brits gave us Russell Brand, every country has someone to apologize for, we just have a lot more of them. Except Sweden. Sweden is good.
Ita the internet, you can say the word. Racist
Jesus, they think anything left of Attila the Hun is far-left
Attila was WOKE for DESTROYING THE EMPIRE
IIRC nomadic peoples like the Huns actually had a society based on communal property. It was closer to a conservative take on anarcho-syndicalism than today's system.
They are squarely right of Attila.

Well now me AND your mom say you're cool 😎
"Far left" my ass. It's the same flipflop of Fianna Fail and Fine Gael that's been in the Dail since the Anglo-Irish Treaty.
McGregor should be exiled to one of the minor islands so all of his neighbours can personally know and hate him.
As long as there's no women there
I read this in a thick irish accent
The great irony is I'm not a native here.
I think shit-for-brains might be a literal description of Conor.
Something about brain injury seems to turn people to the right.
Paranoia and stupidity.
Heavy blows to the head, repeated multiple times over the course of several years, will cause brain damage.
God damn he's gettin old.... And I'm a year older than him fuuuuuuuccccckkk

You're getting old bro!
😭
Let the politicians politic, you stick to getting punched in the face for our amusement. Tnx hunni xoxoxo
Dig a hole.
