It is crazy for me to consider just how much suffering a human can endure. At the risk of being melancholic, I would have killed myself long before this. Despite the fact this guy is ~~emancipated~~ emaciated, he has a type of strength I never would.

Really is fascinating how durable we are.
Fascinatingly durable and yet amazingly fragile too
While he might be emancipated, he's also emaciated.
I'm dumb, I fixed it

Although the region still produced foodstuffs sufficient to avoid famine, colonial grain exports swelled to record numbers, ensuring widespread devastation
Same mindset that billionaires have today. They'll continue extracting wealth while choking the poor out of the means of living.
All modern-day famines are man-made. It's a crime against humanity.
Like I can't stress my hate for the British empire.
The colonial mindset and generally the domination desire too obviously. (Yes you're on an anarchist instance what did you expect)
But the British empire has a special hate from me.
Here's some fuel for your hatred:

"The UK has been colonised by immigrants, really, hasn't it? I mean, the population of the UK was 58 million in 2020, now it's 70 million. That's 12 million people."
Goes around, comes around, eh? Meanwhile he's an immigrant of Monaco for tax purposes...
Oh no I'm well caught up on that lol. I'm one of maybe 5 people into sports on Lemmy lol
Always hated Radcliffe in particular too, even before he bought part of utd
ok I probably don't want to know but whats up with radcliffe?
He's a billionaire, aka a thief.
I think confusion comes from Radcliffe (the Harry Potter actor) versus Ratcliffe (the billionaire asshole).
I mean hes had a lot of famous roles so I know he should be well off. Im surprised he made it to billionaire. There has to be more to it than that.
Jim Ratcliffe
not
Daniel Radcliffe
oh. oh. oh. So just some political figure. I was thinking it was like a dean cane, kevin sorbo, mel gibson, kid rock, rosseane bar, etc. kind of thing. Its kinda funny his name is spelt with a t. Did not even notice before.
Goes around, comes around, eh?
Only if you believe his bigoted nonsense otherwise there's nothing to "come around".
I like that pieces of shit like him feel like they are though.
Agreed if you can listen to behind the bastards and not hate the British you're broken
I mean... Not to be taken the wrong way... But there's not really anything left for cannabilism.

Don't make me giggle at something so outrageous.
That's horrifying. Damn that colonialists, they put people in starvation on fertile soils.
One might conclude that The Great Hunger of Ireland 20 years earlier was just practice for bigger genocide.
Damn this is one of the darkest images I've seen.
The cruelty of empire
