@SallyStrange@eldritch.cafe @bookstodon@a.gup.pe @histodons@a.gup.pe The British Empire repeatedly let its colonies starve simply because food could be sold for a profit somewhere else.
They've done that in so many places.
Sure, not each colony every single time, but that just makes it clear they always had a choice and chose to let people starve.
If you own 1/3 of the world, you really can't convince me you don't have the resources, anyway.
