Imagine if 1830 Ireland went back in time to 600 BCE Irish Empire and Iron Age Industrial Revolution!

What happened in Ireland was simply a failure of insufficient agricultural policy. The free market did its job, and did it well. When a population is not capable of making the difficult choices they must to continue to thrive, the free market enacts population control. This is a good thing when you think about it. Less white people = less carbon output.

It blew my mind to hear there was a connection between them and yourselves. Who would have thought??? But the Native communities know more than they ever wanted about cruel imperialism and being dehumanized as a subject people- and their communities being historically based on humane values they would have the empathy for a suffering people- so I'm not surprised. The fact the Choctaws and perhaps others reached out even when they themselves were barely surviving the US's violence, treachery, and food problems of their own is amazing to me- and over 150 years later some Irish descendants returned the favor, meaning somewhere a record of it was preserved?? My mind is blown.

And it's a waste of food as well. A lot of it can be dehydrated. And stored for longer periods of time.

I have specific policies already written out that I'm going to eventually be lobbying for in my county and state. It's going to be an uphill slog however because I'm not a big and rich donor- I have nothing to bribe them with other than the heartwarming sense of doing the right thing, which means that 97% won't be interested, naturally. Studies show that 999% of politicians don't gaf about anything- especially policy- unless there's something directly in it for them. Sucks balls but that's where we are. So I know it's going to be an uphill battle. I won't give up though. My "Anti-waste, Reclamation, and Redistribution" laws are non-negotiable to me and if it takes 20 years I won't stop fighting for them.

Happens in the US

I read a news story, maybe ten, years ago about restaurant who were upset that homeless people were digging through their dumpster making a mess. They decided to put the food customers didn’t eat into plastic bags and leave them on the ground near the dumpster. Those who had been climbing around the dumpster for food could now just pick up a bag. Everyone was happy except for the health department. They threatened to shut the restaurant down and they had stop bagging the leftovers.

May they, also, be remembered for their kindness. Thanks for bringing this up, it is worth noting indeed.

Its important to note that during this time britain was debating blocking the whole of the ottoman empire to pressure them into ending slavery (like it did to brazil) and this move by the sultan was one it could gain leverage over Westminster

@Nachos Andcheese And then admit to a few genocides

Sultan Abdul Majeed in 1847 personally offered £10,000 in aid to Ireland, but he would have to scale back his generosity. British diplomats advised him that it would be offensive for anyone to offer more than Queen Victoria, who had only donated £2,000. It was suggested that he should donate half of that amount, so he gave £1,000. The Sultan's donation was appreciated by the public in Britain and Ireland as well. One English religious journal published an article titled "A Benevolent Sultan" in which the author wrote, "For the first time a Mohammedan sovereign, representing multitudinous Islamic populations, manifests spontaneously a warm sympathy with a Christian nation. May such sympathies, in all the genial charities of a common humanity, be cultivated and henceforth ever be maintained between the followers of the crescent and the cross!" The press also blamed the British diplomats in Constantinople for rejecting the initial donation of £10,000 just to avoid embarrassing Queen Victoria. Meanwhile, Sultan Abdul Majeed had found other ways to help. Today, the port town of Drogheda in Ireland includes a crescent and a star, both of which are symbols of Islam, in its coat of arms. Local tradition in the town has it that these symbols were adopted after the Ottoman Empire secretly sent five ships loaded with food to the town in May 1847. The reason for the secrecy is that the British administration had allegedly tried to block the ships from entering Drogheda's harbor. Evidence that story these claims include newspaper articles from the period and a letter from Irish notables explicitly thanking the sultan for his help. The nationalist Irish Freeman's Journal celebrated these efforts. "The conduct of Abdul Majeed on the occasion referred to," the author wrote, "was that of a good, humane, and generous man. A believer in Mohammedanism, he acted in the true spirit of a follower of Christ, and set an example which many professing Christians would do well to imitate." Though Abdul Majeed probably hadn't expected any kind of returns on his aid to the Irish, some of them rallied to his side in 1854, just two years after the famine ended. Britain had become involved in the Crimean War to defend Ottoman territory against an expanding Russian Empire. In addition to Irish nurses and engineers (and some of the first war iournalists in historv), about 30.000 Irish soldiers served in the war. Despite the suffering that they and their families had endured during the Great Famine, they were noticed to be serving enthusiastically in defense of the territory of the sultan who had helped them in their time of need. Today, in that town of Drogheda, the event is hinted at with a plaque, unveiled in 1995. The inscription reads, “In remembrance and recognition of the generosity of the people of Turkey towards the people of Ireland.” Such teasing brevity marks a monumental happening.

Drogheda United FC with their logo is an indication

Tbf that's because Ireland was the only country dependent of potatoes. That's commen knowledge

2 million deaths is only one estimate, but the most conservative estimate, which most historians use, is 1 million dead, and 1 million emigrated. Considering the population of Ireland was about 8 million in 1845, that's a staggering figure nonetheless.

@@williamthebonquerer9181 forgot to watch the video you're commenting on, huh?

@@williamthebonquerer9181 It was artificially dependent. The native Irish were forced into tiny plots of land as the colonists took up all the fertile area for cash crops, and the Irish had to feed themselves on this tiny, barely arable land. The only crop that could grow in such conditions and feed enough people was the potato. Because they needed the most possible food from the smallest space, they monocropped the most productive breed, which turned out to be susceptible to the blight. It's important to note that the colonial English and Ulster Scots? They didn't starve. They just kept on living as they were, exporting wheat and livestock to England for profits as millions died.

Funny how Irish hated black folks

@@tesmith47 White supremacy was not started by the Irish but by European monacharies but sadly we did participate. The irish as a result of being otherisd by the British aristocracy and the American wasps where cruel to African Americans in order to become white. Be angry at these peasants if you will. But I ask if you 2 qs would you act differently if you where in there shoes. Starve in your own country. have your lands and your language taken from you. Do not be granted an education based on your nationality. Then take a trip to America where you could die on a boat. To be further treated like a second class citizen when you get to the Americas. If you where in there shoes would you not consider besmirching in order for you not to suffer. My second question is who is more to blame the Irish peasants or the white supremacist slavers who where a giant back bone of the American economy making billions of African American peoples back while propagandazing white supremacist bull shit.

@@tesmith47 Our ancestors definitely did hate black folks, broadly speaking, from the late 19th century onwards. in the USA. Unfortunately, a lot of Irish immigrants chose to kick down to escape their own oppression, instead of kicking up together with their black neighbours. We all know the common shop sign "No blacks, no dogs, no irish". It's a sad state of affairs many Irish immigrants chose to oppress black people to be accepted as "white".

@@clubvillian15 I hope it was worth it. A people are measured by how they deal with adversity and power and many Europeans failed to show good character. That failure has tarnished the reputation of these people in their entirety forever and ever.

Ireland's population should be much higher but England's population was buoyed further by the lack of protectionism for food compared to almost ever other European state (sans Belgium.) With the repeal of the corn laws the UK consciously destroyed the rural areas and wealthy landowners (by forcing them to compete with Canadian prairies and Russian wheat production) in order to keep food cheap and boost manufacturing and population growth. Agriculture went from almost 20% of the UK economy in the late 1800s to 8% in the early 1900s. But it did help boost population and manufacturing.

To make a long comment short: England population is only so big because of imperialism and the ability to import food from colonies such as Ireland, Raj, Canada. Ireland's population without English imperialism still wouldn't be similar to England unless they themselves had somehow engaged in a similar sort of imperialism with their own foreign colonies to plunder. Though it would certainly be much larger than it is now.

Allot of that is migration though. England's population really started to increase after WW2. Our growth rate is 3.2% but less than percent of that is actually births. I wouldn't worry as the same is happening to Ireland now. Dublin is already unrecognizable. Give it another generation or two and Ireland will have population of 20 million where the Irish will be a minority.

It's genocide they just won't admit it

Capitalist ideology doesn't exist to provide "economic freedom" or whatever, *it exists to justify the rich dominating society.* That's why it goes out the window any time it actually inconveniences the rich. Capitalists preach "rugged individualism", until corporations need a bailout. They preach "meritocracy", until they abolish inheritance tax. They preach that "humans are naturally greedy", until they want to abolish welfare and replace it with charity, and they preach "hands-off government", until they expand the police to protect property.

Did you not watch the video? At every turn, the famine was enabled by politics. No need for free market in scare quotes, there was no free market, there was political interference. Food aid was blocked and taxed by the government.

It was a big deal when John F Kennedy resh for president because he was an Irish Catholic and no president had ever been Catholic.

@@RedScareClair It was the Irish who were mainly responsible for the Americans gaining their independence - of course, you'll not know that.

doesn't baffle me. All they wanted was an excuse to claim "the other" wasn't as human as them. You could bet the same people who believe in Malthus' teaching also believe they don't apply to themselves, same for the one waiting for rapture they would be the ones plucked away and the ones thinking Thanos was good not considering they or their loved ones could be blipped. Its how they justify trans-atlantic slave trade, previous versions of slavery at least had Mumlukes and Janassaries and Gladiators who rose from the ranks to become rulers or their time's rock stars while trans-atlantic slave trade treated people like they weren't human. And Malthus justified that.

@@jhonshephard921 Fair point, but then why go with Malthus if all you're looking for is a way to "other-ize" a group? Just seems like a poor way to go about it, not that there's really a _good_ way to justify abusive discrimination. Not to mention the whole reason why the famine sprouted up in the first place was because of an already existing bias towards them as "the other" and not being as human or as "good" as they were. Although it isn't necessarily true that they simply believe the teachings of Malthus' doesn't apply to them, it's that those teachings literally don't, at least for the wealthy British business owners that were causing the famine. Malthus' theories on overpopulation apply only towards thinning out the numbers of impoverished people if I remember correctly, so the middle and upper classes are fine. In the examples you gave, of the rapture and Thanos, it's a mistaken belief that the randomness of the coin flip might not apply to themselves, or that they worshiped the one true god piously enough to earn a spot in their preferred afterlife. But Malthus' theory is basically saying that the poor are wallowing in misery and hunger, so them dying off might not be that bad actually. At any rate, I understand that it's simply the tool that was used to excuse what amounts to an "indirect" genocide of the Irish, just feels shocking that anyone might have genuinely bought into the idea.

Dickens used Scrooge to parody classical liberal laissez-faire malthusianism.

It was simply that there was no historical precedent for other expenses being greater than the expense of food, nor for anything but population growth unless there was devastation in the form of war, disease or famine. As you say, this was changed by industrial food production (particularly the Haber process) and family planning.

Slightly different explanation - Malthus was an Ordained Cleric and a Believing "Christian". He believed that it was better if people STARVED than for them to "Endanger their Immortal Souls" by Family Planning (which he called "VICE")

Being lazy and relying on nothing but spuds is also a classic formular for disaster.

@@yoyo-lf3ld And in some quarters that’s a character builder.

As a British person I can quite happily say they do, and they are far more honest about their history than any other country on Earth. That is why it is utterly ridiculous when people act as if the British were the only people who did wrong in the past. It is low hanging fruit as it is one of the only existing cultures today which has any sense of embarrassment over the bad things it did. Please tell me the last time a Mongolian was ashamed of the killing the Khans did, or Tamerlane. How about the Georgians, do they cry over Stalin? May of them think it was a great thing he did killing so many Russians. I have never met an Italian who feels guilty about Caesar.

@@johnmckiernan2176 You have seen my curriculum? How? In fact you have no idea what you´re talking about because you have no idea what I was taught or when. We spent about 1 year learning about the British Empire, the Slave Triangle, the Raj, Ghandi and all sorts of things. The Irish famine was certainly mentioned, even if it wasn´t a specific module, however we did cover the Irish separation. And what I have to say growing up is that it is almost impossible to choose what to put into a syllabus, as it covers about 5000 years. However what we were taught was rather scaving about the British empire, and there was absolutely not a second where people said "You know what, it wasn´t much better before the Empire came either." The fact of the matter is, if you have a FULL understanding of history, the British Empire is one of the only empires in the world where the inheritors are actually embarrassed by some of the things it did. Name me one other? Any Saudis embarrased about the millions of slaves they took? Any Scandinavians embarrased by the massacres the vikings did? Any Italians ashamed of the Roman Empire? Any Turks afraid to mention the Ottomons? The fact of the matter is a lot of Irish people, and people of Irish origin have a very limited interest in history so all the things they hear seem like they have been the only people to suffer in the world. The Irish famine was something that quite likely could have been mitigated with the resources available at the time. It is clear the administrators of the British Empire didn´t have any love of the average Irishman, but then why exactly does that differ from the mass rapes, executions and various methods of devastation the Normans, Vikings, Saxons and Romans perpetrated on the British Isles? Yet can you find me one British person who actively resents an Italian, a Swede, a Dane? Feel free to find British people who can´t have a civil conversation with a German and explain to me how the mechanism of responsibility works, where you can write off some things but can never forget others? Another thing I´m rather curious to know, when everyone talks about how removing one historical factor would solve every problem, what exactly do you imagine would have happened had the British, inheriting the Normans acquisition of Ireland, after the British was invaded by Normans, hadn´t have held Ireland? If you look at the historical factors of the time, it is most likely there would have been no glorious Irish nation, but in fact it would have been invaded by the Spanish, the Portugese or another colonial power. Then you have to ask the actual question, which is, how exactly would Ireland have worked with such a huge population for its size under the rule of another nation? I hate to say it, but I think a lot of the issues that came up under British rule would have come up under anyone else´s. Anyone who believes otherwise is delusional. There always would have been mass migration, I mean you are aware of a country called Sweden right? Who invaded them? Please tell me. How many people moved from Sweden to America? Well, one third of the population! Was it the British Empire´s fault? Must have been.

Don't forget about when the British Empire joined the War On Drugs, ... on the side of Drugs !

It's a system that encourages toxic competition. Which favors those who are brash and un-empathetic. Rather than people who actually want to solve the problem.

Private ownership and profits are fine. But that being treated as a game where only one may survive and you just have to get ALL of the wealth as the ultimate goal. THAT is horrid and inhumane and treats everyone like an enemy or a tool to generate more profits. Private ownership and profits should be for yourself and maybe one generation from yourself beyond that it even destroys the next generation over its why monarchies don't exist anymore. You have Babur, Hymuyun and Akbar but by the time Shah Jahan and Awrengzeb come the family is already ruined by its own wealth and need to maintain it.

@@jhonshephard921 Profits are inherently theft as it's labour that creates value, thus a Capitalist taking profit is stealing from the workers.

Best comment. The cargo taxes were another cruelty. Brits put heads of Irish on stakes and I read decades ago it was their custom to scalp which was then taken to North America.

A big part of the problem was that the aristocratic Tories heavily taxed food imports. The Whigs - Liberal supporters of free trade - supported repealing these Corn Laws, which made food cheaper and did more than any other policy to end the famine.

But you can't say that. The Irish are the only people who have suffered hardship in the history of mankind....

So interesting how it’s a French term often used in America that the Brits used to let the poor die in so many countries.

Agreed. Whilst the atrocities committed by the USSR should never be forgotten, there is no denying that housing is one of the few things that they really did better than the west. Under capitalism, housing is treated as a commodity to be bought and sold, so zoning priority is given to single family homes. Under the USSR's communist ideals, housing was seen as a human right so priority was given to build houses as space-efficiently as possible. Hence the infamous "commie-blocks", which may not have looked pretty, but they actually served their purpose as homelessness was almost non-existent in the USSR.

@@GTAVictor9128 Same in Cuba where they virtually have no homeless people. There are many reasons for that accomplishment too. And although housing isn't free in Cuba, the government actually takes steps to keep the cost of housing low. That actually leads to a high rate of homeownership-around 85%. By way of comparison, the Census Bureau says the rate of homeownership in the United States is just over 65%. And bearing in mind too that the US faces a homelessness crisis with over half a million Americans, without so much as a roof over their heads, and that was before the pandemic, and the waves of eviction still looming over millions of families. Also, have you noticed how many former socialist countries are ranked the highest for home ownership? This is no coincidence either. Also, the right of a Soviet citizen to housing was guaranteed by their Constitution. See Article 44 USSR~Constitution (fundamental law) of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics 1977

Laissez-faire is dysgenic in that it selects for a race of psychopaths.

Mass export of food contributing to the the Bengal Famine? I've not heard of that. What's your source? Bengal _imported_ food from Burma till the Japanese occupied that land. While Britain needed to import food, it took wheat from Canada, not rice from Bengal. Britain's New World colonies were self-sufficient regarding food, so it's difficult to imagine where Bengali food would have been exported to, except for China (where there was also starvation) and other parts of India. While Churchill originally refused to send food to Bengal, in 1943 he asked Roosevelt to send grain from the US. But Roosevelt thought this too difficult since the Japanese controlled Malaya and the Dutch East Indies. Similarly, Churchill still didn't want to spare ships to sail food from Australia, because ships were needed for D-Day. Churchill had a low opinion of Indians, and inequality was a big cause of the famine, so there certainly are echoes.

@@alphamikeomega5728 There were several large Bengal famines that happened under British rule that were caused in large part by British political and economic policy. The 1943 famine that you describe was definitely made worse by British refusal to send food supplies from other parts of India so that the Japanese wouldnt benefit if they were able to take Bengal. I believe Amartya Sen referenced in the video wrote on this. The earlier famines were treated with the same Malthusian principles (exporting food from starving regions) that caused so many deaths in Ireland. One book Ive read on this is 'Late Victorian Holocausts' by Mike Davis.

Don't forget the holocaust. It would not of happened if the British didn't bomb german food supply lines.

During World War 2, while Indian Troops were FIGHTING TO PROTECT BRITAIN AND ITS EMPIRE, Famine broke out in Bengal. Canada, Australia and the US sent grain ships to India. Churchill PERSONALLY BANNED THEM FROM LANDING. Between 1 and 3 Million died in that Famine. In total, during British Rule of India, over ONE HUNDRED MILLION Indians died of Famine. They blamed it on the Indians. Since Indian Independence in 1947, there HAS NOT BEEN a Famine in almost 80 Years. There Have Been Crop Failures BUT NO FAMINE!!! Britain's was the Truly EVIL EMPIRE!
