    so taking grain from starving families for dissent control was just a price you are willing to pay?

      Starving families =/= massive landowners. The ones hit by the famine were the families working for the landowners, most of them owned no land at all. If you want to blame someone, blame rich folks being pissy about not being able to exploit families on their farms anymore

          Likewise. I’d like to see how your “version of the facts” goes on the eastern countries. Have a good day.

              I know about how you, all the way from the west, consuming only western media and participating in western politics, knows more about the east than eastern folks themselves. All the eastern countries and the global south know about what western people believe.
