Originally posted by rabbitweed It's now mainstream in Ireland to describe this as a 'genocide'. From de British of course, not you know their own daylight criminal landlords (which are still a huge problem in Dublin in 2020).
The Irish are such victims, it makes me sick. Especially if you consider the huge parts of the British empire that were at one time or another governed by Irishmen.
The real question is why Brits, Germans, French, etc never claim victimhood. They never had that easy a time, for instance in parts of the 19th Century 3/4 kids born in Berlin died of malnutrition. Working class Brits ate so poorly that after WW1 started conscripts gained weight after being drafted, as they were finally fed properly. World War I was just a genocide against the working classes, and World War II was deliberately made awful for civilians.
The most privileged group of people ever to exist never stop acting like victims, making up all sorts of stories just to see what sticks, so it obviously works. And they know being a victim is important, as if you question their victimhood they will use their enormous wealth and power to destroy you utterly.
So why are Europeans allergic to it? -

You'd die after a week eating plain mashed spuds.
Rabbitweed do you see what a life without struggle or percieved struggle causes?

Elvis Presley's grandchildren are all dead. His lineage is dead. People who feel privileged kill themselves with drugs and hedonism.
Meanwhile people like David Rothschild, heir to the Rothschild trillions (so much money they have bought their way out of inclusion in any "rich list"), feel genuinely oppressed, despite their enormous wealth - and because of that they prosper. -

Do you even realise how expensive butter is now, and used to be? To make, transport and store. I remember churning by hand. There's a reason why "living of the fat of the land" was an expression of disdain about the rich Anglo Gentry in Ireland.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

This. Imagine digging a canal, 10 to 100 metres wide, up to a dozen metres deep, and hundreds of miles long, with just shovels and wheel barrows. The Irish did it on multiple continents. -
