bastion of literacy in the post-roman british isles
>bastion of literacy in the post-roman british isles
literally the opposite. irish and welsh writers were protecting christianity, writing books and defending the last vestiges of rome while anglo pagans were being barbarians
>has to write fanfics about his roman overlords to cope with the lack of meaning and progress in their absence.
>NOOOOOOOOOO YOU CANT HECKIN LIKE THE ROMANS, EVEN THOUGH THEY BROUGHT YOU THE LIGHT OF CHRISTIAN CIVILISATION, THEY WERE HECKIN CONQUERARINOS!!!!!!!
>YOU NEED TO BEHAVE LIKE MY STRAWMAN OF BACKWARD ILLITERATES, NOT CULTURED SUBJECTS OF ROME!!!!!!!
>this is your brain in judeocuckstianity
Oof
Yikes!
Reddit moment.
>reddit momment
Bro your whole existence is made of pure concentrated reddit moments. Try dikating less to make it less obvious.
everyone love their fanfic though, especially English who uses it as actual history
Literally nothing of value was lost.
England left alone and to their own devices turns into modern day Iceland centuries ahead of time.
Without Norman conquest
>no hostile neighbours
>no paranoia about preserving the balance of power for fear of a hegemon invading them
>no deep suspicion of forenners
>no Irishmen perpetually seething like
>no race for global conquest
If 1066 never happened, England would be the Shire IRL full of fat, content hobbits that would look like OP's pic.
>Without Norman conquest
>>no hostile neighbours
Unironically, ask me how I KNOW you know nothing about English History.
>wall of text.
TLDR
Eh
>>no hostile neighbours
>>no paranoia about preserving the balance of power for fear of a hegemon invading them
>>no deep suspicion of forenners
You know nothing about the Anglo Saxons if you believe this.
England is not America, you silly
>Church preserves Christian writing
>Church destroys all pagan writings leaving nothing to posterity
Why are pagans so stoopid lel?
That's not what he's saying retard.
The welsh aren't anglos you retard.
Welsh isn't germanic.
>The welsh aren't anglos you retard.
They were after the battle, remember that Celtoid.
The Welsh are bros since the battle of Brunanburh.
>stabbed their fellow celts in the face with us in 937
>Did it again in 2016
Luv me Welsh
Based, they will NOT divide us.
This is because logrians (what they call english) are mostly britons larping as germans. Britons like the welsh.
Vile gaels are invaders and enemies of the britons just like the germans are.
>after the battle
>decisive Anglo-Saxon defeat
>staggering Welsh victory
>all English males now have Welsh Y DNA
Imagine all the beautiful Angle Dutch girls with bronze skin, cornflower blue eyes, and golden hairs getting BVLLed by hairy cave troll looking Welsh Ogres.
cope celtoid
Maybe after sending generations of princes to study in the monastic schools of Ireland, you can make that claim, but I wil also remark the term British Isles didn't exist at the time, nor is it even an appropriate name today, unless of course you are literally referring to Britain and its surrounding islets.
The term British Isles at least in the form 'Pretanic Isles' existed since ancient Greek times, but there was a lull of over a millenium before it was revived by English authors in the early modern period.
'Revived' feck off, it was coined by the same fella who made up the terminology 'British empire'. It didn't exist in the lexicon before that and was made up for purely political reasons, right in time for English colonialism and advancement of cartography. The Irish government thoroughly rejects the term for legitimate historical reasons. It is a colonial term, get over it and learn to deal with your past.
British isles or English isles are the name of "Britain and Ireland" in literally every culture and language in the world other than the dead language of Irish and the Southern Irish republic
Yeah cus most of the world speaks or understands the algosphere. Its not that hard to understand the 'why' part of it.
Brits wrote the maps, brits wrote the history books, brits controlled the narrative. The narrative was the empire is great, and sure a wee smattering of anti Irish sentiment.
You are either deluded, a moron, or just another English piece of shit. Go neck yourself.
seethe you will always be English
Also, literally nowhere calls them English Isles, you just made that shit up. ????
Chinese at least do.
Chinks don't know shit about the world, or england they just know big Ben from movies and flag.
Many languages don't really make the difference between english and british. Historically even less so.
>political court writers come up with term for their island, and the one next door they want to colonise and make theirs.
>label literally infers it as being of their possession
> it's just geography bro, the Greeks!
I'm Irish and probably the most prolific Irish poster on the board (the one who posts the bookscans and greentexts). I don't like the term, and don't use it myself, but truth is truth and there are defensible (if not necessarily good) grounds for using it.
Well one can argue against the bad, the bad people were the cartographers writers and accountants in the language they administrated their colonies in. It is now the language of the world. And, language does matter.
I must say I do appreciate your efforts in buthurting the unionist etc. Fellas in their delusions. Hard. It does get awful tiresome seeing the likes of them getting 'representation' and such, when their beliefs are often 'ancient aliens' tier delusions
True, it should be called English Islands since modern irish cucked themselves into being english-speaking globohomo anglos despite the deaths of their ancestors fighting for independence.
>since modern irish cucked themselves into being english-speaking globohomo anglos
The Irish language continued to decline after independence because Irish-speaking regions were the poorest and hardest hit by the emigration which had been consistently depleting Ireland's population since the Famine. The embrace of globohomo came well over seventy years after independence, and was heavily pushed along by British elements in Ireland's media, political and education systems.
>despite the deaths of their ancestors fighting for independence
Many of those martyric ancestors of recent centuries had themselves alas been monolingual English speakers, which doesn't make their deaths on behalf of their country any less meaningful.
I've read hundreds of accounts from travellers and other commentators on the Irish Question in the 19th century and none of them regardless of their views on the matter regarded Irish nationality as hinging on language. Most travelled mostly among English speakers and had zero doubt that the Irish were a radically distinct people to the English. If you are an American, petition the Queen to take control of you again or you're a hypocrite.
I'm not from any english speaking country. I refuse to accept the relinquishment of your own language in favour of the language of you conquerot as something that can be defended. The irish may not see their language as part of their identity, for whatever cope reasons, but english is part of English identity.
Tell me which country precisely you are from.
I never defended the abandonment of Irish. I speak it myself, though regrettably with some interference in English in syntax and phraseology which I'm trying to overcome. If I were solely among Irish people I would address them in similar terms as you have done to me, because I am in fact a Gaelic revivalist.
English it must be admitted does have some part in Irish culture, even if it ought to be a subordinate part, because it has been spoken here uninterruptedly since the 12th or 13th century on parts of the east coast, and many of the greatest names of modern literature in English come from Ireland or were Irish.
I've never seen pre-20th century foreign commentators, whether they approved of Irish independence or not, sperg out about the language question like this. The recent hostility to us on this website on this account I'm fairly certain is from Euros who are Anglicising themselves from consuming English-media all day by choice and are lashing out at us as a cope when we at least have the very genuine excuse of centuries of intense and concerted repression of the language. When you're killing your own language via Tik Tok creolisation it's consoling I guess to lash out at us, who lost our language mostly because we lost our population in the 19th century. It still hasn't recovered from its peak in the 1841 census, and that was probably an undercount.
Enjoy watching your monarchy die in a generation, and having English a minority in every city.
Reconnect with your gods, Anglo.
I don’t think the average layman would be able to reconnect. It’s a lifestyle and belief system completely at odds with us in our current state. I think very few people would be able to live as our forebears did. For example, I think of the general squeamishness people exhibited about the Northman: a tale of honour and revenge when most people would prefer to call the local constables and have the law deal with it (your father and friends being murdered). The general sentiment I’ve seen from peoples’ reactions to it are “aren’t we glad we left that behind us?”.
IMO it requires a totally different mindset away from modern living and Christianity. A lot of people live in an urbanite bubble, totally removed from how the world works and think their ancestors were backwards savages with little to no knowledge, even though they had more than enough knowledge and skills for at least 3 modern day people put together.
I went the route of being protestant, than athiest, than agnostic than to a literal gnostic/platonist and now I am somewhere in between that and ancestor worship. The divine is the divine, and most religions share the same divine truths. It doesn't matter how you get to god, what matters is that you started your journey at all.
That world view partially came about due to me heavily studying religion and history and recreating it as best I could in a modern lifestyle.
I make my own soap, I harvest my own plants, I make bread every week, I make my own compost, I hunt for my own meat and make my own cheese. Living that kind of life close to nature is the best way to get close to your ancestors and god.
bump'n for hobbits
Can English people call themselves Anglo Saxon?
Literally what's the difference
Yes but you should also be aware that you are of Celtic descent too. This means the lost celtic gods & the fair folk who inhabit the island are a part of your heritage.
Stop stirring shit cunt. Anglo's and welshmen are brothers now thanks to king Arthur and we won't let israelite divide us.
You have a point, especially with baptism being wide spread.We will never be able to get in touch with the spirits of this island they way our forebearers did but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try to pay them respect and build a relationship with my heritage.
You're the israelite larping as Celts to neuter Germanic history by making everyone think it was Celtic instead in literally every thread for weeks.
This
Do you think the Irish of LULZ have shifts monitoring sassenach activity on this board? The very first post is yet another whine.
Like one wise anon has said in the current irish containment thread:
>The Irish on LULZ have kinda played themselves.
>By posting their weekly walls of text they have exposed themselves for historical seethers on the tier of Wehraboos or Rhodesiaphiles.
>At this point Irish history threads are easy targets for trolls, as the Irish LULZtorian cannot help himself, he must respond to even the most obvious bait.
English posters are always able to poke at themselves in good fun, which can not be said of the butthurters on the other side of the English sea.
What's with the schizo obsession with the Irish by the British
>Irish posters when they see another thread about their “arch nemesis”.
do you actually have proof that it's the irish doing it or are you just acting like a crackpot
that updated version is nice but the original is funnier
