There was no such thing as a famine in Ireland.
To have a famine, a country must have no food.
At the time of the so called "Irish Famine", there was plenty of food, but the ruling classes, were sending it to Britain (for money).
They told the Irish it was for their own good.
The Irish were told the industrial revolutions workers were needed, to keep the majority, of the "people" fed and watered and defended.
Collateral damage of the day was, the lives of the Irish.
The ruling classes had no option but to keep the cattle being exported. It was for our own good.
See any similarities to today's preaching by the current ruling classes?
There was no money. The country was bankrupt. The money would dry up. Nobody would lend the country money. The sheeple needed to keep in mind the bigger picture.
All used during this crisis, and, all used during the so called "Famine".
Its all for our own good, in the long run.
And fuck those that have to pay with their lives or live a life of miserable poverty and die from lack of food and health care.
That is collateral damage for you, its just business, nothing personal.
So be thankful for all that your ruling masters allow you to have. Yis are a gang of ungrateful fuckers.
Don,t yis know how hard it is for the ruling classes to have to make decisions that decide whether you live or die.
May the ruling classes, be blessed, with, the wisdom of Solomon, have full bellies, and their children sleeping well, so that, their consciences may, keep the interests of the majority in their foremost thoughts.
Not a hope in hell the ruling classes can blame the British on this one. This one is one hundred percent Guaranteed Irish (with a bit of a push from their mates in the EU).
Ironically there are constants in both scenarios.
The rich got richer.
The poor got poorer.
The poor died from hunger, or froze to death, and lack of medical aid. The poor were evicted from their homes. The landlords were causing many problems. The bankers caused many problems.
