@Skejveno @vintagemapstore Germans obviously don’t claim Da Vinci because they don’t have an inferiority complex like the Poles do

@Skejveno @vintagemapstore Copernicus was “Polish” the same way that Da Vinci was “German” since northern Italy was subject to the German emperors.

What nationality was Copernicus?

@TifoG96561 @FlapperCatLady You can blame Lutheran charities for Somalians in Minnesota and that would be valid. But blaming Nordics for the problems in the northeast is retarded

@FlapperCatLady @Interlken Yes the result of nordics. We already pointed than out to you. You've already admitted as such. Italian Americans had not the political capital to make such a change.

America has been so successful because it is made up of Anglo-Celtic-Germanic (Northwestern European) people across a vast geography full of endless opportunities and resources. It’s really that simple.

@TifoG96561 @FlapperCatLady Not really. You guys were just the Mexicans of 100 years ago brought in as scab labor in long established communities

@Interlken @FlapperCatLady No we built the cities. Whereas those flyover states still amount to nothing

@TifoG96561 @FlapperCatLady Scandinavians are a major force in states like the Dakotas, Utah, Iowa, Montana, Nebraska, Idaho, Wyoming, etc. all really conservative states. They also helped actually settle and built this territory unlike most Sicilians that just moved into pre-built cities on the East Coast

@FlapperCatLady scandinavias pretty much only contributed to what Minnesota is right now today

@StuartR23295 @Tom_Rowsell @Harry_pitt @EuroConOfficial It was a 75% replacement in Eastern England followed by a homogenization throughout England and large French component that came later. England is only like 30-40% Briton

@Tom_Rowsell @Harry_pitt @EuroConOfficial So where did the locals go?I read that the Romans used Germanics as soldiers So that would create a foothold for newcomers but I doubt mass slaughter. I’m wary of DNA tests I find Germans resemble poles in many places. But Dutch do not

The Germanic tribes that entered the British Isles in the 5th century and beyond were remarkably un-diverse, says historian @Tom_Rowsell on The Forge 🔥 On behalf of @EuroConOfficial, our St. George’s Day special episode premieres tomorrow evening at 7pm (BST) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Link below.

@forrest_lo16522 @Kengetskeltikos @aidannonx @Mrgman32 No, Im saying its fake because it is I have a fair amount of ancestry that wouldve been Celts 2000 years ago. Interesting to learn about and Im glad to be partially descended from them but basing my identity around it is as fake as LARPing as Yamnaya or a Western Hunter Gatherer

@Interlken @Kengetskeltikos @aidannonx @Mrgman32 You call it fake because you hate it is what it seems like to me.

@forrest_lo16522 @Kengetskeltikos @aidannonx @Mrgman32 Hateful? I’m just saying it’s fake

@Interlken @Kengetskeltikos @aidannonx @Mrgman32 I'm not sure why you're so hateful towards it.

@forrest_lo16522 @Kengetskeltikos @aidannonx @Mrgman32 It’s now a created identity by some autists on the internet. Not much different from Troons trying to pick their gender identity

@forrest_lo16522 @Kengetskeltikos @aidannonx @Mrgman32 Ok. They all had an Neolithic Farmer component as well if you go back further. Pretty meaningless in a modern context. 100 years ago no Anglo, Portuguese or Swiss people were saying they were all the same because some ancestors spoke a Celtic language 2000 years earlier

@forrest_lo16522 @Kengetskeltikos @aidannonx @Mrgman32 I’m not denying their existence. I. The limited frame you mentioned they are Celts. But saying “The British, French, Spanish and Portuguese Empires were all Celtic” is completely delusional

@Interlken @Kengetskeltikos @aidannonx @Mrgman32 Welsh, for example, is a Celtic language still spoken today alongside English. Celts had their own language and religious culture. They're cousins of other Europeans sure but were very much their own thing too. I'm not sure where this desire to deny their existence comes from.

@Kengetskeltikos @aidannonx @Mrgman32 Who said anything about rape? Point being that almost nobody speaks a Celtic language now. Even 2000 years ago the genetic connection between Celtiberians, Insular Celts and Hallstatt Celts was dubious. Celtic was a linguistic group and the identity today is a complete LARP

@Interlken @aidannonx @Mrgman32 "European" doesn't mean anything to us, but after 1945, I wouldn't be bringing up lineages and rape if I were you. Interlaken-inski

@Kengetskeltikos @aidannonx @Mrgman32 Irish and Welsh were basically cannon fodder of the British Empire. The Lowlands Scots were an important element along with the English but neither of those were really Celtic

@Interlken @aidannonx @Mrgman32 Dutch, sure, but the British Empire was built by Celts. The Irish, Welsh, and Scottish played an overwhelmingly large role in the British Empire, disproportionately so, as officers and enlisted men. As for the English, the West of England is Celtic, East less so.

@Siegfried881 @PingCymru They all traditionally sprak a German dialect. Most modern “Celts” don’t speak a Celtic language and in a lot of cases don’t have any ancestors that did either for 500+ years. It’s a ridiculous LARP

@PingCymru "German nationalism is just so silly. There are too many differences between Saxons, Bavarians, Austrians, and Prussians."

Pan-Celticism is silly. Britons and Gaels are too different

@terciodearagon @Civixplorer Geographically close warm weather location. The Canary Islands are basically the Caribbean of Western Europe. Plus Spain has some cool cities and an interesting culture

@Civixplorer Why do Germanic people love Spain so much? I have never really understood this.

🛬 The most common holiday destination for Europeans.

@Zookemnukem @Breizh_gallic @aidannonx 1000 years ago, Scandinavians were literally the main characters in Europe. Perhaps you mean 2000 years ago and even then they weren’t like Africans

@Breizh_gallic @aidannonx Holy larp this is entirely situational if you went back a thousand years Northern Europeans were considered barbarian akin to modern subsaharan Africans

@Kengetskeltikos @aidannonx @Mrgman32 Celtic contribution to European history is breeding stock. Nothing more

@aidannonx @Mrgman32 "Germanic Celts"...that's like saying African Chinese. We are two separate peoples. BTW, it's the Celts who conquered the world. The Portuguese, British, French and Spanish Empires were all built with Celtic blood. If the Germanics are so great where was Germany's empire? Puny
