and I came upon a topic about a bunch of the celtic nations of britain wanting to form a 'celtic ethnostate' and throw the anglo saxon english out.

Just shows you how stupid that shit is and how much of a purity spiral death cult fascism is.

    People in Britain get really nativist over events from thousands of years ago. Red faced gammon still angry about Claudius invading Britain in the first century. And also angry about Normans invading in 11th century. And all nations in the UK angry about England conquering them.

        Seems like The Welsh, The English and the Scotts, all generally had a propensity to treath the Irish like dog shit unfortunately.

          Eh it's more complicated than that for one thing the Scots were an Irish group that took over a lot of land in Scotland and one of the reasons the Welsh hired the English was to stop Irish slave raids.

          Being mad about iron age history is pretty dumb

            Fair enough. I was speaking in more explicitly modern terms, the irish have been in more recent times treated probably the worst out of the groups in the UK imo.

            in the end all the white britons look like white northern european people to me though, I fail to see why people do get mad about stuff from 1000 years ago.

            edit: Probably should have said getting nativist over stuff from 1000 years ago instead of getting mad.
