why, they were all raiding pillaging bands who practiced slavery on their neighbors and called them mean names.
the only difference between the germanic speakers who moved into the roman provinces of britannia found no urbanized tax base they needed to integrate with. that's why former roman provincials in Gaul or Hispania or Italy kept their language & the barbarian kingdoms were latinized, where the romano-britons simply became english---taxes and cities.
Roman british society completely collapsed under the economic pressure of roman withdrawal and a devastating plague; Saxons didnt overrun the walls of Londinium, it was abandoned.
Yeah I do know the Scoti tribe from Ireland were the pirates and bandits on the west coast of great Britain as opposed to the Germanic tribes who did the same activities on the eastern shores of great Britain

The plastic paddies we have in America would probably shit themselves if they knew this. Yes, I'm going to keep quiet about it.

Yeah it's just kind of one of those facts where you are like " no way the patron st of Ireland wasn't even Irish but a kidnapped brit?"
not particularly nicer than anyone else at the time
That was kind of funny you were like 'why? they were all not very nice people who enslaved each other and called them mean names'
[they] being dark age groups of people, not celts in specific
Yeah I know you were basically saying most groups back then we're roving bands of warrior cultures who were mostly not very nice people
Put it this way St Patrick got to Ireland by means of being kidnapped and sold into slavery as a child
