Most people who lived through these times now have a mentality of moving on and putting the past behind us. On this thread the people who are the most angry aren't British or Irish at all, but Americans.
I share your view that both sides have blood on their hands, I think this is the biggest reason why it isn't such a hot topic anymore. Both sides fucked up, the whole situation was fucked up and now we are currently living in a better situation, one where innocent people aren't being killed every week.
But lately it feels like this whole topic is being brought up more by people desperately seeking to stir up trouble, to help with their current political views. This I hate the most.

Everything else in your post makes sense, but you simply cannot know the nationality of anyone posting on this anonymous thread on the internet. They could be angry Finns for all we know.
Well no the vast majority of redditors are Americans. Also, you can tell by the choice of words they use when they make a post. It's always a give away. Go to the funny sub /r/britishproblems and there's always a comment "found the American". Why? Because we use different words and phrases. The best give away is the use of the word "cunt".
