  • That implies that Britain didn’t intend those consequences. But Britain has mastered using starvation as a weapon of genocide, in particular by masking it as an “unfortunate” result of taxes and tariffs.

    We do know that the British did try and get the Irish to renounce their heritage to receive aid during the famine as well. Some families had to renounce their Irish name and Catholicism before they would be given food during the famine.

    Cloudflare’s is a corporate solution from the company that man-in-the-middles half the internet and makes me click shit every fucking time. I see it whenever I make the mistake of following a stackoverflow link.

    It is also not very useful if you don’t use a PC. Every time I look up a Cloudflare-gated site on my iPad, I usually have to jump through a few captchas before it will let me in, if it doesn’t decide to be a grump and decide to put you in a sisyphean cycle of captchas, constantly refreshing without end.

    Or if you use some software. I have citation software that gets stuck in the loop because Elsevier puts their journals behind a Cloudflare wall, and when it pops up the prompt to prove you’re not a bot, just refreshes straight into another prompt.
