    He had every right to be angry about a famine

    A famine in 1845? Caused by Irish reliance on monocrop agriculture?

    Why would any living person in 2024 have a right to be “angry” about a joke that barely refers to it?

      A famine in 1845 that was caused by…

      “As someone who lived 5 years in ireland and saw the history its absolutely fucking horrible. If you think about it its kinda ironic. Uk occupies a country, controls everything there and commits a genocide. Israel is occupying a country, controls everything there and commits a genocide. By the way as a neurotypical who has autistic family members and friends, in this case what happened is that the irish potato famine got normalized over time but the genocide in gaza is a current event. Also the israel one is political. Third thing is most neurotypicals are pussies, if you spend time with neurodivergent people you realize that a lot of things they say are funny as fuck, even if its a bit raw sometimes.”

      That was by Altoothbrush in this topic, if you didn’t see it.

      I’m not Irish, nor do have an issue with Israelis. This whole issue just reeks of “casual dismissiveness” and I’m autistic myself so this hurts deep.
