Man stands guard over his starving family, shielding them from the unthinkable: cannibals, driven to desperation by famine and neglect. - Madras famine of 1877

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:

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?
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.
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.
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
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
emancipatedemaciated, 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

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.
That's horrifying. Damn that colonialists, they put people in starvation on fertile soils.
Damn this is one of the darkest images I've seen.
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.
