But by stating that, you are equating them. It’s similar to the false equivalence of news channels trying to not be accused of bias
 
Just in case it hasn't been mentioned in here, check out documentary on Netflix - 'White Right - Meeting the Enemy" by film maker Deeyah Khan.

Unsettling conversations with members of the Far right, handled brilliantly.

It was really good she actually changed their opinions to an extent

Absolutely, as much as the instinct can be to demonise, criticise, argue with or ignore far right extremists , she shows that having a conversation, getting to know them and getting them to view her as a human being had a genuinely transformative effect. Great film.

This little snippet from Deeyah Khan was bashed to hell in the comments, but she's speaking realistically. I too hope everyone can all get along better:

I assume you disagree with me
 
In what way, that the inla and iplo didnt murder anyone, or that their aim wasnt to establish a 32 county socialist republic

They arose from a desire for a republic state, that they then hoped would be left wing, and were an army engaged in war fare. This is very different to your rioting and racist far right groups.
I don’t agree with those but it makes no sense to compare them

An army engaged in warfare, are you really serious, was darkley warfare, if you even know what happened there, these groups came from the oira which was also a left wing revolutionary organisation whos aim was a socialist state

I’m not agreeing with them, I’m saying that’s how it was positioned. A war for Irish independence with very established aims. It’s different to the rise of the far right and it’s completely illogical to compare them
