[0:06](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/QLnpONIStBzZ/transcript-of-discussion-on-the-irish-famine-and-genocide?t=6) In order for there to be a famine, there needs to be a widespread scarcity of food to cause malnutrition and starvation.

[0:16](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/QLnpONIStBzZ/transcript-of-discussion-on-the-irish-famine-and-genocide?t=16) We weren't scarce on food. We didn't have to starve.

[0:20](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/QLnpONIStBzZ/transcript-of-discussion-on-the-irish-famine-and-genocide?t=20) We actually had plenty of crops and plenty of livestock too.

[0:25](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/QLnpONIStBzZ/transcript-of-discussion-on-the-irish-famine-and-genocide?t=25) But guess what? Britain took it all. They saw us starving, and they still rationed.

[0:34](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/QLnpONIStBzZ/transcript-of-discussion-on-the-irish-famine-and-genocide?t=34) They saw our bodies on the street, and they rationed more.

[0:38](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/QLnpONIStBzZ/transcript-of-discussion-on-the-irish-famine-and-genocide?t=38) They got greedier and greedier and greedier while the Irish people who grew that crop for them and fucking fed their fucking livestock got hungrier and hungrier and hungrier.

[0:50](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/QLnpONIStBzZ/transcript-of-discussion-on-the-irish-famine-and-genocide?t=50) The Irish did not suffer a famine. We suffered a potato mold, and that led to a genocide when the British, who were already stealing off our bare fucking backs, decided to steal until we literally had nothing left.

[1:09](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/QLnpONIStBzZ/transcript-of-discussion-on-the-irish-famine-and-genocide?t=69) And then they stealed more. And then when our supplies dropped down because people were dying, they killed us for it.

[1:16](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/QLnpONIStBzZ/transcript-of-discussion-on-the-irish-famine-and-genocide?t=76) So we had to fucking flee to America with the littlest bit of hope that it would be better there, but it wasn't.

[1:23](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/QLnpONIStBzZ/transcript-of-discussion-on-the-irish-famine-and-genocide?t=83) Oh dear Jesus, it wasn't. We were just put into slavery and called dogs, as it is historically known as the, uh, Potato Famine.

[1:31](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/QLnpONIStBzZ/transcript-of-discussion-on-the-irish-famine-and-genocide?t=91) But I really, really hope that when we break away from Britain, not only can we change that to the Irish Genocide, because that's what it was, not a fucking famine, and I'd also like our original flag back.

[1:43](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/QLnpONIStBzZ/transcript-of-discussion-on-the-irish-famine-and-genocide?t=103) Fuck the orange out of it. They don't deserve to be there.
