100%. The Dark walking out of his dingy apartment, past a mural of himself, to his life of manual labor only to die young of a heart attack.
I'm second generation American. My grandfather came from County Cork 101 years ago. My mother was raised in an almost fanatical Republican household with her ten siblings. She was forced to learn the bagpipes and sing songs of Revolution from a young age. I was kind've brought up around that stuff. I began to be disgusted by it in the mid 90s, and more and more after 9/11. I see the lionization of these lunatics now, as well as the useful idiots like Trip and just shake my head.
I very much enjoyed the Say Nothing miniseries btw
