Fuck the community note, it was a genocide. 🇮🇪

It was a form of genocide. It was more than negligence, the head of government relief, Charles Trevelyan, from the colonial perspective, considered it a “mechanism to reduce excess population” and a “judgment of God.”

Funny when some ML’s recognize it as genocide and when talking about the Holodomor willl be like “err u know not exaaactly intended”

@KetzerN It was a genocide. 🇮🇪

The property structures imposed by the sectarian legislation of the occupying power, the policy of evictions continued during the famine and the decision to continue exporting food to the metropolis while the Irish were starving is decisive for considering it genocide.

"the biggest support came from Britain" How moving, when they were their government!

I’ve lived in Dublin for 8 years now. All the Irish I know consider British at fault of exacerbating the famine into genocide. Even quoted Wikipedia article mentions that the British government continued export of potatoes when people here were starving.

It does open a whole can of worms of what can and cannot be labeled as a genocide tho

Agree fuck the British

Fuck the retarded and FALSE community note. IT WAS A GENOCIDE.
