This meme reads as a criticism of capitalism and common anti-communist rhetoric. It doesn’t do any apologia for authoritarians, which is what usually sets off the “libs”
ACKTSHUALLY THO the Irish potato famine was socialism actually. Because see the British were trying to save the Irish FROM socialism, so they HAD to take all the crops. Because, ummm, if they let the Irish keep the crops that they grew, WHICH WERE FOR THE BRITISH, then that was socialism.
Also the Irish did it to themselves they were just too lazy to work. The British were starving too. Because see the famine. And it started in Kansas. JUST LIKE THE SPANISH FLU. So anyway now we have a free and capitalism Ireland like baby Irish Jesus intended.
I was under the assumption that the potato famine was caused solely due to crop disease. Do you have sources for the brits stealing their crops? Not doubting it, just want more info.
I’ve been wondering if it’s just all the blocking, so I have effectively been blocked by and blocked in response every libtard on Lemmy, or if they have made an exodus to Mastodon or Bluesky or something.
inb4 the libs come in here with their downvotes and paragraphs lmbo!
