Egotistical Superiority
Northern and Southern people don't hate
each other. The hate is in specific extremist minorities in Northern
Ireland. Half the population is Catholic and the other half is
Protestant. Catholics usually prefer to be categorized as Irish and
Nationalist (or more extremists as Republican), while Protestants
usually prefer to be categorized as British and Unionist (or more
extremists as Loyalist). This friction was created by Britain and
ironically, the Irish can't fix it.
In what was to become Northern Ireland,
the lands of the independent Catholic Gaelic nobility were
confiscated and given to Protestant settlers from England and
Scotland. This is similar to what Truman, Britain and the United
Nations did when they imperialistically took Palestinian land and
gave it to Jews for the creation of Israel.
England, as usual, screwed up Ireland
when they intervened in that nation and couldn't win the southern
area. England then shipped in Scotts to Northern Ireland to help
cement English control. The resulting killings and
extremism--because of English politics and religion--still leaves the
nation divided. Divide, create chaos and conquer.
Britain has screwed up many nations
with their imperialism and trying to inflict their culture and
language upon the conquered nations. Spain has done the same thing.
Most people think of South Americans as Spanish but they were not
originally. The Spanish went into S.A., conquered the people, stole
their gold, gave them diseases and a new language all under the
auspice of 'founding a new country.' They use the word 'found'
instead of 'invade and ravage' to make people believe they are doing
a good thing.
Look at this time line of the Spanish
conquest of South America. The tactics used here by Europeans is
used over and over again, even today.

And the pattern
is used over and over again. The tactics the Spanish used, including
the Popes, are the same as England's and France's. These tactics
were also used in the United States during the mid-1900s, when
foreigners began pouring into the United States not as legal
immigrants, but as 'political refugees,' 'illegals' and later as
professionals and engineers taking American jobs. But this time it
isn't the Imperialists of old doing it.
Machiavelli was
right: It is easier to injure a kind man because he cannot hurt you.
