@CptHastings1916 They'd elicit a more favourable response from me if the cartoon they used to promote the issue wasn't so grotesque

@Epiousion_ @cermait1991 @thomasforth Yes Ireland experienced rolling famines every 15-30 years for nearly 200 years while the south of england experienced none because these things just happen to Ireland, no reason to assume there is any causality there!
You are a total retard.

@cermait1991 @thomasforth Famines happened the world over until 1980. Being the wealthiest country in the world in 1840s means nothing
English
1/ Yes. 30M easily.
2/ In a world where Britain had properly joined Ireland as equals in 1800 and built a country together, Ireland and we would share that country which would have avoided famine, and we'd be 120 million today. Decent chance.

My favourite what if in history.

In a world with no Great Famine, Ireland’s population today could easily be 15-30 million with HUGE implications for British and European history.

@Epiousion_ @thomasforth You're an idiot britlicker who doesn't know his own history and dances for likes from foreigners in the Internet. Go and look into British economic policy towards Ireland from 1700 onwards and you might get an idea as to why there were so many disastrous famines.
English
@BichTuff @thomasforth I consider a serious historian one that isn't braindead
English
@thomasforth @ForfarshireUK If you wanted the union to work you would have to go all the way back to 1600 and find a way of doing a deal with the earls rather than causing them to flee. That's the reason why any parallels with scotland fail. Scotland was coerced yes, by Ireland was conquered.
English
@ForfarshireUK I don't think 1800 was too late. Even as late as 1879 I think the Union was still salvageable.
English
@Epiousion_ @thomasforth You might want to reconsider what you think of as a "serious" historian
English
@thomasforth As an irishman: complete fantasy. There was other great famines in 1700s no one talks about, and the 1840s couldn't be avoided. Any serious historian knows that it wasn't "the brits" that caused the famine. Catholic identity was also too powerful for Ireland to ever stay in UK

@MallyB30725 @thomasforth @nouveaucolonial Few places in the late 19th century were as industrialized as the black country or the north of England, Ulster still punched well above its weight in terms of industrial output in that era even compared to the above nevermind there places in Europe
English
English
@RGRV101 @thomasforth @nouveaucolonial Impacted the south too mind. Lots of focus on the famine as a driver of underpopulation and not the century of economic disaster which drove emigration.
English
@RGRV101 @thomasforth @nouveaucolonial Partition, and subsequently the troubles, impacted the north both in terms of population growth and especially economic growth, which is an underlying driver of pop growth. You can't lop off a huge section of your hinterland and come unscathed
English
@thomasforth @nouveaucolonial Ireland didn't industrialise in the same way England did. Mainly down to coal not being as abundant or it being harder to extract.
English
@porazonido @societyimprover @P0stUn0riginal_ That's not really an implication though is it? It's hypocrisy
English
@societyimprover @P0stUn0riginal_ that France also talks big about helping people but end up not doing shit

@kevinf567 @arisroussinos Israel is the main the reason the region exports jihadis at all!

@BichTuff @arisroussinos Israel is the only country in the region that hasn’t exported jihadis

When faced with a serious question of Britain’s national interest, Reform unfortunately chose to twerk onstage for Trump and Netanyahu:

@admcollingwood Amazing how Jews and Christians come together to push back on jihadi expansionism and proxy warfare.
The man speaking has long had Crusader tattoos on his chest. They read Deus Vult. He knows his role in history and is playing it with gusto...
What is YOUR role in history?

@kevinf567 @arisroussinos Israel is a rogue state that brings nothing but instability to the ME, you don't traditionally become allies with countries that constantly work against your interests

@danzwku @bonchieredstate Modern Chinese regime is more "Celestial" in its makeup than the Republican government it replaced. Educated Mandarin caste headed by an emperor administrating society and deriving legitimacy from effective governance rather than the people? Is that the CCP or the Qing?
English
@bonchieredstate The current 🇨🇳 "Chinese" regime is not part of a 5000 year old civilization. It's a 77-year-old Soviet-inspired occupation that systematically dismantled that civilization during the Cultural Revolution.
English
The current Iranian regime is not part of a 6000 year old civilization. It’s a 47-year-old colonial government that forced its Islamism on that civilization.

@disclosetv Iran is not going to surrender. They are a 6,000 year old civilization.

@baylissbaghdad Has he always been a slop poster or is this a new twist?

@PotatoMcWhiskey Why in God's name did you feel the need to prefix "Ontologically" to that statement? To make yourself seem smarter?

I think gambling like this is ontologically evil and must be stamped out with extreme prejudice

i'm genuinely pissed... bought yes shares on "will Iran close the strait of hormuz by june 30" minutes later the closure was announced by multiple credible sources such as Axiom, Reuters only to then see that the resolution criteria was updated with additional infos: "closure defined as a >80% or greater decrease in the 7 day moving average of transits compared to the seven-day moving average 30 days prior" this is rigging the whole market tremendously towards no how can it be allowed to completely change the outcome within a live market people have already bet money on different resolution criteria this is absolutely unacceptable
