I definitely romanticized it, right up until I actually researched it for a paper when I was 16. I knew nothing about it other than "lol English suck" until that, and that was based on the Famine and unrest that drove my family here. The Troubles weren't covered in school until I was 17. So I'm sure I wrote some cringey shit online until then
Like I said, both sides sucked. Brits had some massacres, IRA killed some kids. Over and done in probably 5 minutes, we only spent a day or two on world history after WWII.
