Weird Irish royalists online saying we should show our respect. Did that family ever have respect when women and children were going to the seaside of Galway to eat seaweed staining their faces green because they were that desperate and still dying of hunger anyway. Maybe show respect to our ancestors who suffered and not forgetting who did that to them.
To be fair, doesn’t seem like a whole lot of fighting. The vast majority of comments there blame the british
*staters in black and tans*
fake photo – looks like something you’d see on Craiyon ‘indoors irish potato famine’ keywords.
Hey, quickly run over and start brigading the posts..
…is basically what this post is about
The only fighting I’ve seen is the “was it a famine or Great Hunger” . And Most side with the proper side of Great Hunger
“Poor British economic plan”…. 🤔
The famine of 1740-41 always gets overlooked. It resulted in proportionately more deaths in Ireland than the 1845-52 famine.
Ok fucken hold on here, the reason so many of our people died was because the British stole all the food from the farmers for their soldiers. All the Irish had left was potatoes and when the crops failed the English sat back and let 1 million people starve to death. Let’s not try to put the cause and blame on nature. It was the Crown and the British army. They also destroyed all of the Irish old growth Forrests to make their war ships. Reality check!!
Always weird when Irish history makes it to a big sub like that.
I’m banned from /r/HistoryPorn for calling out a few Brits on their opinions of the troubles, they’re quite numerous over there
Some sorry cunt in the comments is telling people that the famine is why Northern Ireland and the South are divided. Man knows nothing of the plantations and our history
I saw that, thought about adding my 2cents (English authorities still exported grain, rents were enforced resulting in evictions) then said fuck it. It’s Friday and I’m not in the mood to see a slanging match.
The good thing about having nothing but potatoes to eat is… nothing.
Ah, yeah, I know that feeling. A lot of people have criticized me for my poor economic plans, which seems unfair to blame me for a mistake.
Admittedly, my poor financial plan was “Punching old ladies and stealing their purses”, but still, it’s just poor economic planning.
Oo, I’m gonna make wedges for dinner
The IRISH GENOCIDE.
Ohhh there are people saying “it’s an island, why didn’t they fish?” And posting an article by some Prof. Arsehole saying Irish Famine vs The Holocaust, which was worse? Aaaargh.
Put it on r/subredditdrama
Jaysus, some of you are boring dry shites
Oh, random American here, who likes to lurk, just wanting to interject that I have an ancestor, Mary McCue, that immigrated here during The Famine. She came over here as a teen by herself. I have always wished I could learn more about her and her family. She came over on the Hibernia in 1851.
