quick reminder to everyone that the irish famine was not a genocide
#ireland
#look it was definitely the fault of the british but that doesn't mean it was a genocide!
#the problem is that we conceive of famines as natural disasters
#but as with most natural disasters half the problem comes from how that interacts with human stuctures and society
#sure the famine was ruinous because british neglect and discriminatory laws meant that the conditions for famine occurred
#and they failed to provide aid because they were hung up on Malthusian economics
#but y'know that goes for a lot of famines
#especially in the modern era
#the problem is not a lack of food
#but a lack of access to food
#sorry saw this a few times today and i am so tired
#and ive definitely explained this in way more detail before so im gonna keep this short
