npub1qzc8ejmflltq5uuwmvurfcfd4l96t6np6c8fzgj9l2rdfheadydshtyetl (npub1qzc…yetl) It will take crop failure, massive starvation and death to make the ruling class care.
The Irish Potato famine is how bad. 1 in 10 people died of starvation while Ireland produced a grain surplus.
The arguments were identical - Irish are responsible for putting themselves in a powerless situation. They aren't farming their potatoes right (personal carbon footprint). Famines are natural (during a surplus/climate change is natural). Even: it is good to reduce the population. Genocide before money.
It took a leader's political suicide to break the corn laws/corn subsidies to allow grain to stay in Ireland.
The focus on blight whitwashes of the true reason 1 in 10 died. British landlords owned the best land and exported wheat, while the Irish day labors earned pennies and did not have enough resources beyond subsistence.
Structurally we are no different than Ireland in 1844. Rather than deal the rich are building bunkers so they can ride today's genocide out in high style.
