I liked this episode a lot, I thought it captured the multi-factored deterioration of the language playing out over a couple of hundred years.
While #AnGortaMór / #IrishFamine is one of the pivotal events behind the collapse of the language, it is far from the only factor

"Padraic Scanlan’s Rot: A History of the #IrishFamine doesn’t seek to overturn this consensus but Scanlan’s central claim is in some ways an echo of Mitchel’s: although #Ireland was part of the United Kingdom, it was, he writes, ‘imagined, governed and exploited in strikingly colonial ways ... The famine – a complex ecological, economic, logistical and political disaster – was a consequence of colonialism.’ "

#TIL: "In 1847, the #Choctaw nation of Oklahoma made a donation of $170 to help people suffering thousands of kilometres away in the #IrishFamine. The gift would be worth tens of thousands of dollars in modern terms. (...) The Choctaw's heartfelt donation was sent to Midleton in County Cork, #Ireland, providing much-needed relief." #History #NativeAmerican https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvg3zvq3vz8o

@Geri
Seems the shock of the ten or thirty or sixty deaths of Palestinian children, women, old people and innocent people every day from Israel's genocide in Gaza is meant to count for nothing according to the cops and British government.Starmer's gov is complicit in mass murder. Let's call that out as not "modern British".

"British authorities regarded #Ireland’s misfortunes as evidence of the country’s incurable and willful medievalism [...] But as Scanlan is at pains to point out, the famine was in fact the result of forces within high #capitalism that were entirely modern [...] 'an unintended consequence of the increasing integration of global commerce.'
