IRA

Why was UVF more successful? Are Irish people even worse at sectarian terrorism?

>the good friday agreement achieved through peaceful means what they failed through violence
The agreement that was a result of the violent struggle which involved, on one side, the IRA, you mean?

theyre still around. north and south.

The UVF were more gung ho about targeting civilians. Politically they put their position in a state of compromise as the whole thing resulted in nationalists gaining more power.

very sensible

only really hardline republicans would see them as heroes.
then you have others who call them terrorists. These people are mainly old boomers, yuppies and "centrist" people that forget they live in a country that felt the same oppression that our northern brethren felt.
I would say most seen them as a necessary evil or a group that may have been once needed but over time became worse and worse

> if their memory is still alive?
very much so. the majority of people involved in the troubles are still alive and the biggest party in Ireland is Sinn Fein which was literally the political wing of the IRA. Although now Sinn fein is your typical socialist cuck party

most young people don't really have a clue about history like everywhere and the extent of their knowledge on the topic is memes they see on facebook

the UVF were terribly unsuccessful lol. ex members have literally admitted their strategy for "war" was to drive into Irish communities, and drive by random civilians
they also got extensive help from the british army and MI5 but could never do much with it other than low brow thuggery and civilian murder
