McT N is going to openly criticize this blog: ansionnachfionn (ASF) .Mc T n thinks is time
to do so.
And is only a political thing here, we don’t know the individual or
individuals that are behind, and we don’t want to.
Strictly ideological business here, then if ASF what to reply and engage
ideologically more than welcome...
Anyone that had followed for long this blog has been able to
see how they treat “dissident” Irish Republican in all its forms. Not only for a few months, but for a long time,
for years. Because in Internet, like in
life there is a lot of opportunism and opportunists. This blog describe itself like Republican.
Yes, this is days, like with calling oneself communism or ML, the definition,
or the people that fell inside the category is so wide that lose the meaning,
or even worse. Some people that had little to do, want to be seen as that, why?
This blog have probably the worst kind of criticism. Not
because it criticizes Irish Republicanism, that it is entitle to of course. As
anyone can criticize anyone (as we can and we are doing so with that blog) and almost anything.
McT N is of the thought that if criticism comes from
friendly quarters or wish to be constructive then should follow some few basic
lines like to be quite fair, have some basis, be argued properly and thinks like that. Is our opinion anyway.
McT N thinks that if someone starts from here he or she can even be hard.
Sometimes hard criticism is needed. By
all, including McT of course. Just to point that when McT N says that anyone
can criticize anyone McT N includes itself. But then when you criticize you can
be answered: that’s call dialectics. Anyways this is the definition that is in
McT N book. We continue now...
Why is the worst kind as were saying? Because it puts itself
in a position that seems really leftist and even republican. Speaks up down.
They are in the top, ideologically. So they think. The way they talk is the way
of talking of the people that believe to be above the rest, and many leftist
(in word, no so in deed and reality) had that problem...
So much so that, in
McT N opinion, they had in countless
times become disrespectful. Because you can criticize, but that blog had do so
pouring really a scorny and disrespectful way of talking. Not only with Republican Sinn Fein, always
adding that they are small, this and that. Go and read it, McT N does not wish
to think about it. But more recently talking about Saoradh and the comments
about the logo, own they mix so many things and the like.
McT N had always thinks one thing: with people so
intelligent and so “the best”, and they are a few already, how is possible that
the general situation is as bad as it is?
But the main point is how critical of armed resistance this
blog is. And for years. Here is in the same boat than the Pensive Quill. Or
even worse. Always with scorn, always diminishing. If news or articles about Irish Resistance appears, or the boast capabilities or talk about them, because us, we, people, are stupid, the blog finds always a great deal of space and time to give a realpolitik (as for sure thy love to think they are doing) views: they don't have this, they can't do that, they are limited here and there... As the says goes, with friends like that you don't need enemies.
But they have a great
deal of scorn for the Irish Republican Resistance. Always saying that they miss
a lot, that nothing compare with the past, that they don’t achieve nothing,
that their actions are futile, that times have changed. We all know that speech
the “they are living in the past, they are mislead and are wrong”. This is the thinking, more open sometimes
that others, of this blog.
The funny part comes when despite this blog and all the people
like them, they occur Resistance actions. It has no problems in using images of
Irish Resistance fighters of actions to make nice posts in the blog. Or when there is an action that lead to
damage in brits vehicles. Ready to use the images as if all the scorn and
criticism that it has to the Resistance does not exist.
Like the case when there is civil resistance in any part of
Ireland. The last occasion in Derry, during the Easter Parade this year. That blog, like many others, is in a very
contradictory position. It criticize the rational, the logic, the people, the
organizations and the ideals of Irish Resistance but loves the imaginary of it,
the landrovers in flame, the armoured vehicles damaged and so. They talk and
put the images quick...forgetting all what was said till then. But when another period of call comes, again,
back to normal. And normal is that they oppose real and active Irish Resistance
in any form, political, civil or military.
This is a highly bad political and ideological way. To put
it soft. Words like hypocrisy and cynicism suits here.
And here we have to remember that are many types of agents working
for the system. Many paid political agents will have the same way of acting and
talking that this blog. Not saying is the case. Some are non-paid agents, some are conscious agents, other are unconscious
ones...
Criticizing, whatever they try to portrait themselves for
time to time, Irish Republican political activity and civil and military
Resistance, when episodes of it arouse, despite all the people and
organizations like this blog and the likes, they jump to the enjoyment of the
moment, to use the images as had been said before. Too cynic manners.
This ways is very similar to other in others parts of the
world. Let pput a good a clear example, without going into the Libyan issue: when the Syrian Republic more needed the
support many of the left did remain silent. Till the tide change and the Syrian
Republic and its SAA start regaining the overall control, making clear that from the knowledge that the
fight is far from over, the Syrian Republic won’t fall. Then, now, is when we see all that so-call
leftist and communist jumping to the boat of solidarity with the Syrian Republic.
And this people are of the same type of
ASF blog. The particular thing with ASF
blog is that is Irish and try to portrait itself as “republican” or “republican
friendly”. If that’s the case we will assume that the Provos are the true
Republican Party, the PSNI are the police of the people, the SP and SWP are the
real socialist, and the Gorbachev war the last real communist!
To end this critic will only direct the people to the quotes
of Thomas Clarke Luby about aspirationists. They suit perfectly to the likes
of ASF, the Pensive Quill and many others...
