Oh I agree. I don't think their opinions merit a greater value
than our own. After all, it's our country and we choose.
Still, it's interesting seeing, for example, documentaries from

just interesting to see other perspectives sometimes. that's

akin to neo-Nazi wannabees but instead of idolizing Nazi Germany
he idolizes the IRA and wanted his own little warzone or

Was he used by them? Well, it's not impossible. But he struck me
as a bit of a loser, kinda sad really. Maybe was somebody
though. Hopefully they piece it together.
