@athousandyoung saidThey were the last remaining Britons.
Anglo-Saxon is already a combination. The English are a Germanic mixture named for the Angles. Danes, Saxons and Normans, being of Germanic ancestry themselves, were easily absorbed into the Angle-ish ethnos.
Britons are not English. They are the Welsh and the people of Brittany in northwest France. They were defeated by the English and lost most of their land. This is what the stories of King Arthur and Vortigern are based on.
Who do you think inhabited Britain at the time of the Romans?
@contenchess saidThere is over a thousand years between the two events and most people don’t know the history but yes there is some of that sort of thing. The Welsh ethnic types are trying to spread the use of the Welsh language in their country for example and the Welsh community has had to deal with poverty and disrespect for a very long time.
@AThousandYoung
So do the Brittons whine and cry about the stolen land just like us Notth Americans hear Indians whining and crying?
English Get Out of England!! 😡
wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_relationship_between_the_Welsh_and_the_English
Concerns over the decline of the Welsh language and its historical proscription have contributed to anti-English sentiment in Wales.[citation needed] Other factors include sporting rivalry, particularly over rugby; religious differences concerning nonconformism and English episcopacy; industrial disputes which usually involved English capital and Welsh labour; resentment over the conquest and subjection of Wales; and the exploitation of Wales' natural resources such as coal and water. In 1977, Welsh rugby player Phil Bennett is reputed to have inspired his teammates for the Wales v England game with a pre-match speech: "Look what these bastards have done to Wales. They've taken our coal, our water, our steel. They buy our homes and only live in them for a fortnight every year. What have they given us? Absolutely nothing. We've been exploited, raped, controlled and punished by the English – and that's who you are playing this afternoon."
@shavixmir saidOk fine let’s do this.
They were the last remaining Britons.
Who do you think inhabited Britain at the time of the Romans?
First in Europe were Neanderthals I think. They were outcompeted by the earliest modern humans who could throw spears which Neanderthal could not do due to a more restricted shoulder joint. Neanderthal left no significant cultural legacy that I am aware of but they did interbreed with modern humans leading to a small but detectable genetic contribution. Novel about this time - Clan of the Cave Bear. Good book.
These first modern humans in Europe became the Finns, Basques, Magyars, Sami, the Atlantic Beaker Culture etc. This happened at around the same time as people first came to America and for the same reason - global warming caused to glaciers to recede from the northern parts of the globe. (Continued)
Between 4-1000 BCE a culture began to grow strong in the north Caucasus in an area sometimes called Scythia. First they herded horses like cowboys do with cattle. Then they began to develop pottery skill working on a potter’s wheel.
Now the combination of this special animal - the horse - with this device - the wheel - first became carts and wagons but then advanced to into chariotry. These people from the north Caucasus with their new invention began to spread wildly throughout Eurasia like barbarian outlaw bikers. They were polytheists with a pantheon led by a Sky Father named Dyeus.

These people became in Asia the Iranians and the Brahmins of India. In Europe these were the Celts in the west, Germanics in the north, Latins in the southwest, Slavs in the east and Greeks in the southeast. In the Bible they are the Hittites who ride in chariots of iron.
These are the people Hitler was referring to when he talked about the “conquering Aryan master race”. The swastika is an image of a four spoked chariot wheel. Chariots are a very important symbol for these people which is why you see chariots in the Vedas, the Roman chariot races, pre-Roman Britons riding chariots etc.
The Celtic people took the British isles from the Beaker culture and had a glorious age in which they pillaged and settled all over Europe from their base in the Alps. Brennus pillaged Rome, Galatians in Asia Minor - they were all over the place. The Celts had by this time invented bronze technology which they used to empower themselves against their opponents.
In the British Isles they came in two waves - Gaelics and P-Celts like the Welsh. I’m not sure which came first but I suspect the Gaels were first since they ended up pushed to Ireland and Scotland. They displaced the older Beaker Culture and established themselves as the oldest surviving culture in the British Isles (but only because the Fomorians and Tuatha de Danaan were defeated and displaced).
Then during the early Iron Age the Greeks and Romans became very strong and we had the Classical Age.
(Continued)
During the Classical Age Julius Caesar invaded and conquered Britain from the Britons. They were imperialists in the Latin style which means they conquered, subjugated, civilized and exploited the indigenous Britons. They did NOT replace them.
This is the time of Boudicca. Interesting story
Rome had acquired the technology of civilization from the Greeks (who got it from Persia and Egypt) which gave them the ability to conquer these Britons. Monotheism - in this case Christianity - is closely associated with Western civilization which is why Rome soon became Christian and why the religion spread along with Roman civilization.
Rome expanded into all the Celtic territories and took over. However when they tried to expand into the pagan GERMANIC areas they got the snot beat out of them. See the Battle of Teutoberg Forest.
(Continued)
Teutoberg Forest was only the first step in what became a long period or Golden Age for the barbarian Germanic pagan warriors. This is when the Classical Era ended and the early Medieval period or Dark Age began.
Vikings began raiding. Franks took over in Gaul, Visigoths pillaged Rome under Alaric and took control of Spain, Swedes (known as the Rus because of their red beards) took over the lands of the western Slavs and the Varangians took jobs as imperial bodyguards in Constantinople. Dublin was founded around a Viking slave market. The Normans took first Normandy then England and even Sicily by sea! Germanics seem to have replaced chariots with longboats in their culture.
Since Rome was suddenly on a desperate defense against the forces of Thor and Odin they withdrew from Britain. Magnus Maximus resettled his British legions in Armorica in northwest Gaul. These Britons renamed the peninsula Brittany after themselves.
The Roman trained Britons who remained were suddenly faced with waves of Germanic warriors and no Imperial legions were there to protect them. They fought for a while - King Arthur is a fictional symbol of this conflict.
(Continued)
Germanics are usually not imperialists in the Latin style. What Germanics prefer to do according to historic evidence is they prefer to exterminate and replace earlier cultures. This is what happened in England with the Britons. It’s what happened in Anglo America with the “Indians” (but not French America or Hispanic America). It’s what Hitler intended to do with Eastern European Slavic lands. It is what the Ashkenazi dominated Israelis are doing in Canaan, though of course they have a more complex situation going on there. These are better described as “settler societies” rather than imperialistic ones.
When the English tried to dominate the Scots, the latter wrote the Declaration of Arboath which refers to the Aryan ancestral land of Scythia as I mentioned earlier.

@contenchess saidYou ought to know,
@Shallow-Blue
You realize that all political labels and ideals are relative right?
What you consider fascism is totally different than what another person calls fascism.
The same applies to all of the other political ideals and labels.
Was there some manual written that says communism has to be this that and a third?
No.
Do we need to be starving to death in so ...[text shortened]... ican conservatives are fascist 🙄
It's all relative.
So in conclusion...
Shavixmir sucks. 😏
