Ha Ha, very funny, the Irish and their potatoes. Well let me red pill you. The potato is not native to Ireland, it was brought into Ireland around 1600 by Walter Raliegh and used to feed people on the English estates, after the failed rebellion against the 'plantations' the English were establishing, Cromwell came and punitively crushed all native catholic irish resistance and declared all catholic Irish could go to "heaven, hell or Connaught." (Connaught being the barren rocky west coast of Ireland. The Irish then had no land to raise crops or livestock, and were forced to rely on the one crop that would grow there, potatoes. To make a long story short, the crop failed on back to back years due to a blight, leading to famine. There was a recent movie 'Black '47' about the devastation the English inflicted on an essentially helpless population, virtual genocide, all the while exporting bumper crops of wheat from the land they had so heinously stolen. If there is a reason the Irish consider the english to be a race of deviant, degenerate, psychopaths, the famine is definitely it.
