Or Google’s shitty SEO. But let’s blame the Brits.
Sure when aren’t they at it? They’re always at it. But then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what they’re at isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary. It’ll happen to you too 🫵👴
“How so? We don’t know, don’t ask the Irish.”
Makes sense to link to the people that caused it 🤷♂️
Aren’t Google search results tailored to your browsing history? Because my results show: Wikipedia, History (Channel), RTE, (Encyclopedia) Britannica, RTE, History , TED, RTE, Britannica, BBC. The UK parliament website comes in as result no. 14.
It happened in the uknwhy wouldnt they write down their history?/s
No mention of a million dead.
No mention of WHY they were dependant on potatoes only.
No mention that every other produce was denied to the irish people.
Nice to see how the UK has come SUCH a long way from their imperialist past…not🖕
Not for me.
OP, Google cherrypicks a short preview of of a webpage. You have also zoned into a suggested answer highlighted by Google.
As another commenter said, if you had read the actual webpage linked you’d see the historical summary is more nuanced and does refer to mismanagement, laissez faire economic policy, and a belief that the Famine was a punishment on the Irish sent by God.
In fairness, the rest of the page does elaborate a *little* bit more.
>There had been crop failures before but during the famine it failed across the whole country, and reoccurred over several years.
>Throughout this period large quantities of food continued to be exported, mainly to Great Britain during the blight
I see wikipedia as top, so might depend on different variables what’s shown up top.
It’s the third or fourth link down for me.
If Holocaust denial is illegal, so should their genocide denial.
It’s odd they rarely admit or expand on why exactly we were ‘dependent’ on the potato. Or that the blight affected the English crop first as their commoners were actually dependent on potatoes as a staple in their diet more than we were so the king ordered food importers from Ireland to be greatly enlarged to meet the need of his starving populace, leaving us with absolutely fuck all. Didnt help we were already on knees leith families living off tiny plots on which to feed a family on.
