content: Irish Oppression I have Irish heritage but am very skeptical of this oppression narrative they have about the British empire. Can I get some hate literature on this? I know King John's son had a lot to say about them but I'm not aware of any in-depth analyses from the other side. One thing that pops out to me is the fact that as far back as 1100, John's son was talking about how they didn't want to grow anything other than potatoes because they were lazy and didn't want to grow anything else. I've only really read stuff like A Modest Proposal, and generally the opinions of IRA-sympathetics. Also what were the Irish like before the British got there? Scotland too
