luimnigh:sraithpics:☕☕☕[id: The meme of two middle-aged white men arguing. This meme is done as a back-and-forth conversation between two people, and reads:“The potato famine was a genocide”“I think famine is an appropriate term, but”“The brits exported food & wouldn’t accept foreign aid for the irish”“exactly, but most famine are actually the result of similar political interventions, so we should change the way we understand what we mean by the concept of famine rather than isolating the irish experience as a unique genocidal event”“that’s a good point, cos the misunderstanding that famines are usually about the existence of food, rather than access to it, contributes hugely to the perception of the great famine as an issue only relating to the potato and it’s crop failures”. end id.] -- source link
