Spot on. First two paragraphs nailed it for me. However IMHO I think you stopped just short of getting to the source. For me, nationalism is the wellspring of the vast majority of these problems. In fact if you go back over the points you make in the first paragraph I feel all of them find their roots in nationalism. Alot of the more mature anti-republican commentators (Eoghan Harris, Myers, Murphy, etc) arent clued in to things like Eirighi (who pretty much run the show on Politics.ie)or the new tide of young proto-provos in the college system. But it’s no surprise that this new breed is heavily involved in Shell-to-Sea, the Anti-Lisbon brigade, and alot of anti-American nonsense.
I am a big fan of going to the source and hitting it hard.
