And when the choctaw faced trouble during the pandemic, Ireland returned the favor

The vast majority of Brits still hate British landlords.

Not to mention that the Irish people had to sell all of their produce for very little money to their English landlords, who would then graciously offer to sell it back for a lot more than any Irish farmer could afford.

And just in case you ask "why not cut out the middleman and survive penniless on your own produce?", remember how I said that the English were also their landlords?

Turns out that landlords were even MORE happy to throw poor people out for being unable to pay than they are nowadays and being homeless in mid 1800s Ireland wasn't very survivable.

They're more like a malignant bone cancer.

Don't start your car tomorrow

(I jest of course).

I see your argument, but the Irish will absolutely throw hands if you call them Brits. They thing the term should only apply to people on the isle of Britain, not the British isles as a whole.

I wouldn't ask an Irishman that, lol.

On a linguistic level yes. The ancient Greeks named the islands after the Prythonic tribes, who were active in Britannia and Hibernia (Ireland).

On a don’t-annoy-the-alarm-clock-aficionados level, nope. This guy isn’t with me. Never met them.

We’ll, they were Brits at the time, but I guess their time in the union was not entirely to their satisfaction.

Ireland is not part of the British Isles
