          When I took students to Northern Ireland in 2015 to study democracy after ethnic conflict, pretty much everyone willing to give an opinion thought the different birth rates of Catholics and Protestants would lead to Irish unification in a generationhttps://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1523056423713660928?s=20&t=-vurUYFJAyEtUA2f2fRxTw …

          “Oppression” is your framing, the fact that the lines were drawn where unionists are is the whole point of it and it’s not like anybody was hiding it before this guy said it
