Sun Tzu 7:35.
This is clearly bait.
Ok, that's enough bait poasting.
@georgia @nerthos the English were shooting children in the streets. Not to agree with nerthos because I think actual racism is retarded but the irish were culturally replaced, displaced, occupied, and shot dead for centuries. the only actual case of white genocide that ever happened. I'm sure if Great Britain had missiles they would've been blowing up childrens hospitals too. Erased the language starting centuries before the potato famine. imprisoned and killed irish for speaking irish.
@georgia @nerthos irish gaelic was a functionally dead language for a hundred years. irish children were killed with impunity for centuries because Great Shitain wanted their land. the potato famine was evil but it wasnt even top 20 of horrible things the irish were subjected to by amoral colonial genociders
I mean, saying "X race people aren't cool" is actually for-real textbook racist. You don't have to want every singe member of a race literally be murdered to harbor a prejudice about them.
@georgia @nerthos @rowb1t alternatively id like to join and say that claiming that the irish potato famine a genocide honestly isnt that outlandish. people at the time viewed it as being caused by the government and as being cruel. now it was largely driven by the system of heavy extraction from ireland making a failing potato crop far more devastating, but letting that continue was a real decision people made and understood themselves as making. some used it as an opportunity to force more ‘enlightened’ british ways on the irish. it was explicitly seen a way to destroy an inferior people. the fact that it was mainly driven by apathy doesn’t change that imo. you can disagree ig but i think people underplay the role of apathy in perpetuating massive evils.
i also think youre right that people overhype ireland bc theyre white
@georgia @lizzie @nerthos the reason why so many leftists talk about Ireland is because it was the literal model for European colonialism that was later exported across the globe. the entire concept of a white race was influenced by the Crown's efforts to suppress irish culture and language. and people continue to hype up ireland because even now, as a (mostly) independent "first-world" country (though tbh the RoI was an economic shithole until the '90s), Ireland continues to be the only consistently anti-colonial voice in Europe. FFS they're not even in NATO.
You specified it was the race of the people who live there that you found objectionable about the place, not the other way around. If that was not your intent, a clarification or apology might be in order rather than a doubling-down 🤷♀️
@nerthos @georgia @rowb1t The thing is that white isn't and has never been a hereditary or cultural group. It's an invented group defined by historical power that includes and excludes people according to its convenience. This doesn't mean it's fake in that it doesn't matter or isn't something that defines people's entire fucking lives, it means that the people who decide who lives and who dies made it up in order to consolidate power-over anyone who isn't white, or isn't white enough, or isn't white yet. It's not a culture or a tribe or an ethnicity.
Now in the present day we can trace an uninterrupted line from the oldest colonialist and imperialist fascism of rome into england into ireland into turtle island which sprawls folding back into itself. My question to you is if you're aligned with white values - you know, the grok south africa thing, the transphobia, the pedophile rights thing, what the fuck ever else chuddy dumb fuck fascist grifter bullshit psyop cult BULLSHIT constitutes "white culture" how much does it matter if you're also marginalized in some way by them?
I'd advise you to look into irish and italian, &c history in ameriKKKa, and accounts of how these cultures were subsumed.
oh and also to kill yourself but like that's neither here nor there
@georgia @nerthos @scathach "I read the wikipedia article in full." Is not the flex you think it is.
What word we use to describe what is in effect, in my informed opinion a genocide doesn't matter. Knowing the details of what took place, why, and how, does.
Also hey does anyone know where potatoes are native to? hmmmmmmmmmmmm
@georgia @scathach @shitposter.world @nyx Please I'm begging you go back to the drawing board with absolutely all of this because it's all dripping with not knowing what you're talking about and pulling a ton of misinformed and confused stuff out of either thin air or focused propaganda, in general. More research is desperately, urgently needed, and needed long term.
Look into the perspectives of survivors of colonialism and piss on the perspectives of the colonizers. I'm begging you so much of this is just dumbfounding. Talking about this shit with any detail requires knowing way more.
@nerthos @georgia @rowb1t This is a copypasta right. Please tell me you didn't just type this embarrassing thou art a foul cur horseshit out of your own head.
Also i know you've thought about killing yourself before i can smell it on you i can tell we can all tell. I feel that part of you is the best and most ethical part left. even if not medically killing youself, you should definitely kill every trace of whatever personality this is cos this is like whoa bud.
@realpetrateal @georgia @nerthos @kittenlikeasmallcat @rowb1t this is unreal what did I just see
Collectivism is dumb as shit. Race collectivism is dumb as huffing your own shit and thinking it smells good, actually.
