The Brittish goverment was unwilling to do anything for two reasons. First was the laissez-faire capitalistic ideology, that put the rights of property owners to make profits above human lives. Rent freeze was unthinkable and they even were unwilling to do proper relief efforts as free food would lower the cost of food. The second reason was distain for the Irish, and the thought that they were “breeding too much” and the famine was a natural way to trim down the population, aka genocidal reasoning.

This is why it’s important to stress it was not a potato famine. The potato blinght was all over Europe but only in Ireland there was a famine. The reasons behind it had nothing to do with potatos and everything to do with the Brittish.

Apparently what made Choctaw want to offer relief to Irish was the news about the Doolough Tragedy. Hundreds of starving people were gathered for inspection to verify they were entitled to recieve relief. The officials would for *some reason* not do that and instead left to a hunting lodge 19 kilometers away to spend the night and said to the starvqing people they would have to walk there by morning to be inspected. The weather conditions were terrible and many of them died completely needlessly during the walk thoroung day and night.

This apparently reminded the Choctaw of their own very recent (and much more explicit and bigger scale) experiences of ethnic clensing, where they were forcibly relocated. It was basically a death march and thousands of Choctaw died from the terrible conditions also completely needlessly.

In 2015 a memorial named Kindred Spirits was installed in Southern Ireland to commemorate the Chactow donation.

Then in 2020:

Where a Suli caravan decided to camp and perform at somewhere near a farm.

Kaz Rietveld, 17 year old, went to the performance with his older brother and their father.

The girl from the Suli family met eyes with him as she was flying from one hoop to another.

Half a second. Merely a heartbeat. But he's certain he saw a smile, she even laughed a little.

It's clear as daylight that this farm boy has never seen a trapeze before.

Inej would think to herself. Trying to explain why she'd smile at a random boy in the crowd.

Yet it felt natural. It felt familiar.

Almost like they had found eachother, in a lifetime before.

Trans people need to learn solidarity yesterday, we need to be ready to organise together and set aside anything that we need to in order to get our shit sorted out. We need to prioritise the needs of people who are most at risk: trans women, trans people of colour, trans sex workers, homeless trans people, trans migrants, trans prisoners. Trans people need to organise!
