I'm not sure if you genuinely didn't realise, but they already said they were Irish, so they clearly mean the United Kingdom. Which has indeed deliberately inflicted mass starvation and violent oppression on the people of Ireland for centuries, with the implied (and sometimes explicit) goal of killing non-royalists.

Just to echo something the main post said - Seeing large images is actually a frustrating Lemmy bug that's yet to be fixed. On Hexbear we post a small, standard emoji-size image and that's all we see our side, so nobody is even aware that others are seeing it obnoxiously huge.
It's frustrating, I agree. But "shitposting leftie site interacts with some other echo chambers for a week and has some non-constructive disagreements" is not really a datum from which to draw any wider conclusions.
Personally, I've seen at least five users on separate occasions ask questions in good faith and concede points. If anything I've been surprised by some of the positive responses to our community, rather than being 100% rebuffed from the get-go.
These are baseless assertions - Your skin is covered in a layer of oils and skin that will capture your grime, and will naturally come off with hands and soap in running warm water. Unless you're regularly covered in like glue or you're showering every hour then using your hands will absolutely work to the same efficacy.
Exfoliation happens naturally, it does not need artificially scrubbing and materials unless you have a medical condition. My own baseless assertion is that scrubbing with a sponge or rag will remove more oils or skin than you should and instead expose and dry out your skin, making it worse.
These are lies sold to you by the wash-material bourgeoisie, comrade. You can absolutely handwash to perfect cleanliness without having a disgusting filth-collector to do it.
I half think that, but I'm considering half not-thinking it.
Ah, but is it still the Master's killdozer once you've done that?
That implies that a large enough portion of users have read enough theory to understand what that means
There's certainly an attitude of "we should be able to federate with large leftist communities and then spout false right-wing talking points without being challenged >:("
The reality is: Nobody is sure, any nuclear bombing is species-wide suicide at worst, an insanely pointless gamble at best. The vague consensus seems to be it would take a maximum 100 warheads to irreversibly destroy ecology worldwide, some suggest it would only take a few modern warheads. I suggest we do all we can to not fucking find out.
The two nuclear bombs dropped by the US on Japan were pointedly targeting mass civilian population centres, I don't think you can rely on them being targeted with any real strategic logic, they are the tools of the genocidal and the deranged.

I'm genuinely curious as to why you think this is trolling? A serious point is being made.
She concisely made a very important point that is absolutely the central underpinning of class relations: "How do rich people get their money?". And to continue the constructive discussion, the original poster only need answer the question "how did they get that money". Finding the answer to that question alone is justification for class war. She also put in some cute goose emojis which are just cool.
