  The answer is that it’s complicated, and the British made decisions that needlessly complicated things further.

  Just so we’re clear, the Irish did too — there were many different bad actors that took advantage of what happened in Ireland. It just so happens that the worst of them were British.

        Replied to the wrong comment. You can read it above if you so please.

        Instead you assumed the worst.

  The British were responsible for those deaths while the Chinese were not.

    How does that make any sense?

    If the paper was on the micro organism. Then its a paper on the micro organism. It’s completely irrelevant to the situation surrounding it.

    Weaponized brain rot take.

      The Irish people were growing tons of crops besides potatoes, but the British landlords took everything besides the potatoes as cash crops/taxes, leaving them only the potatoes to actually eat. There was more than enough food to prevent those deaths, but the Irish people weren’t allowed to eat it.

        Doesn’t change the fact that the paper was about the fucking organism and not about the political schemes going on at the time.

        How did this forum gather so many dense brains in one place?

      Do you not understand that it’s a joke?

      Obviously we all know the paper is talking about the microorganism, but since the real cause of the famine wasn’t the microorganism but the British, it’s funny to act like the paper is insulting the British rather than talking about the microorganism.

      That’s the only way I can interpret your comment in any coherent way, that the joke just went completely over your head.

        I do understand it.

        It’s just bad. But you guys eat up any bad joke if the purpose is to blame the US, GB or Israel for anything. It’s predictable and lame.

        So lame.
