Oh I always thought green and pleasant was a reference to Ireland. The IRA are of course the most based organization in the region. (Maybe not the provos but I don’t know enough about them to really be sure(but if you do think the provos are based please educate me))

The Provos are based. The whole IRA is based, even the factions killing one another in the troubles. I genuinely think irish music is a great ideological intro to the IRA, in that folk songs and things meant to be sung at pubs reflect the beliefs of a group in a really raw and effective manner.

Also see the Columbia three, 3 Provos who went to train the FARC and only in 2020 received amnesty

Nah it’s just a song lyric from Jerusalem which is used both ironically and unironically in the left while being unironically the favourite song of flag shaggers who fucking hate the left using it.
