@roger_oshea @02trollking I'd cast my vote on Japan. China would be Roman Empire.

@Hugh_might @Aldamir @RuairiAodh @roger_oshea This is my favourite Loyalist argument. The ancient Greeks had a collective name for these islands over two millennia ago, that makes us all British apparently.
It's a comfort blanket for their insecurity.

After reading all the replies to my tweets I have come to realize that I have been wrong about everything
Trump is demonic and a Mad King, I should have seen it sooner.
Israel has been controlling everything the whole time, I was blind.
I apologize and hope that moving forward you will still consider reposting me on X and buying my coffee

@roger_oshea @kolimsky Below is a link to a searchable copy the GFA, just to make it easy.
I'm sure you can send me a screenshot of the provision banning the term "British Isles".
Unless you are just making it up?

@kolimsky @roger_oshea You specifically accused me of making it up.
You didn't bother checking.
Any now all you can do is bluster.
Why not just try honesty & checking some sources rather than being an ignorant know all?
English
@Aldamir You should understand. The war in the North of Ireland reached a peace agreement (Good Friday agreement) Within this agreement, the British government promised to avoid claiming Ireland as a 'British Isle' in official documents. Ptolmey's geography is irrelevant here
English
@roger_oshea The expression "British Isles" dates back to at least the 2nd century AD (Ptolemy's Geography, for example) & was a standard description of the islands for much of the time since.
English
@Aldamir I've already explained that. You misunderstand. For Ptolmy, they are two islands occupied by insular celts .. the painted ones.
English
@roger_oshea Ptolemy gives them separate names:
1. The British Island of Albion
2. The British Island of Hibernia
English
@kolimsky @roger_oshea Ptolemy literally calls Ireland the "British Island of Hibernia" (the other island being the "British Island of Albion") in Geography.
In the earlier Almagest he calls them Little Britain & Great Britain respectively.
English
@Humanisticus @Aldamir Yes. Also.. Eire shares the same etymology as Ireland.
English
@Aldamir @roger_oshea All names given to the place by outsiders. And the term "British" originally referred to the native Celts. A term co-opted by English colonisers.
Eire is the name of Ireland long before English people ever stepped foot in Britain.

@binapsi_meso It's not as uncommon as you think. St. Brigid of Ireland was a reappropriation of the Irish Goddess Brigid

「パズズはキリスト教に取り込まれて 聖シシニオスになった」
…という説を見つけたんですが😧
異教の神は悪魔化されるのが通例なのに、まさかの聖人転生。
この説、キリスト教やコプト教側からは、どう思われてるんでしょう…？

@VerminusM @MonkehPutler @FortressLugh Ireland had High King's and the same territorial (provincial) identities for 1000's of years. Referenced by Romans.. and via linguistics. Ireland as a distinct 'country' amd identity was known to the Greeks and Romans

@MonkehPutler @FortressLugh Ireland was invented by the British about 100 years ago. There was never before such country in history.
Ireland is far younger than your motherland, England.
English
By the same logic -
"Ireland isn't 4000 years old. It was conquered by Saint Patrick and its culture bound by Christianity in the 5th century. It was then strangled to death by the English, who likewise cut out the tongue of their native language. In the post war era they adopted liberalism which wasn't rooted in Gaelic culture or history."
Some people don't understand how history works. Something about standing in a river, and all that.
Uri Kurlianchik@VerminusM
Iran isn't 5,000 years old. It was conquered and its culture bound by Islam in 622. Then it was strangled to death in 1979 by an Islamic revolution that wasn't rooted in Iranian culture or history. So Iran isn't one of the oldest countries in the world. It's younger than Israel.
English
@fosandair Same indo-European root as 'wild'.. in a semse Gwyddel basically means 'wildling' .. as in the wild (un-romanized) tribal people of the next Island over. It all makes sense when you realise all the variations gael/goidel/gweddyl originate as an exonym for the Irish
Northern Ireland, United Kingdom 🇬🇧 English
The much-derided "Gwaylge" of urban legend isn't an unreasonable take on what Goidel would have sounded like. The Welsh say Gwyddeleg. Where does the w come from there, other than the fact Goidel was literally pronounced Gwyddel?
English
@Tats_Gunso Indigenous generally means pre-dating the classical period. As such, you might say English is not an identity Indigenous to Britain. However, as modern nationstates emerged the concept of indigeneity has naturally waned. Being English is no longer predicated on ethnicity

それはそうなんだけど、学術的な「先住民」て言葉が恣意的に使われていて白人の白人に対する隣接グループへの植民地支配とか併合での被支配民には適用されないから、それで言うとアイヌはインディアンとかアボリジニとは違うよねという話。
それに、それで言うと日本人もイギリス人も先住民なのに先住民と認定されることはないから恣意的だよねという。
遊牧民@rockwell0000
縄文人が日本の先住民なので、縄文人の末裔であるアイヌは北海道の先住民と言えるのでは？

@yoihanashi Correction- The Scots originally spoke Old Irish (not a british based language)
Perhaps you mean the Picts who lived in the North of Britain before the Scots arrived from Ireland. The Picts spoke a british language akin to Welsh
Benview Estate, Northern Ireland 🇬🇧 English
アイルランドやウェールズは確かに近いやも。
流石に弥生人と縄文人だと、少なくとも言語は全く違うので。
旧支配者かつ、遥か昔に土地を開け渡したが別に抹消されたわけでもない的なポジションすね。
スコットランドは言語は英国系なので、敢えて比定するなら、沖縄とかでもいいかもですが。
エースマン菅原@Tats_Gunso
これは確かにそうで、日本人からしたアイヌというのはイギリスからしたスコットランドとかアイルランドみたいなポジションなのに何故かアボリジニとかインディアンみたいなポジションとして捉えられるのはフェアではない。 あくまで隣接した遺伝的、文化的にも繋がりのある民族が近世に統合されただけ

@JavierBlas Bombing powerstations and bridges is against the Geneva convention too 🤔
Benview Estate, Northern Ireland 🇬🇧 English
Iran is likely to deploy human shields to its bridges and power plants tonight. The use of civilians as human shields is banned under the Geneva Conventions (article 51).
