@Fish_andChipper @weedinhaler24 @TheyThemItalian Your point is that if you take away a word's meaning, one that has been used for centuries, and then insist on using a modern one that has it's own word anyway (nation-state) that it doesn't have a meaning anymore? Amazing

@ErisianMatti @airport_dentist @TheyThemItalian Do you think Tacitus, by co-incidence, made up a name for a tribe, made up that they were seafaring merchants with long-ships, and then happened to place them in a location where centuries later a people with the same name and all of these things just happened to live?

@wulthaus @airport_dentist @TheyThemItalian Sure my man I'm being pedantic, not the people saying that the nation of Sweden existed in the first century because a guy wrote about a group of people who lived vaguely thereabouts. It was inhabited, it would later become Sweden. It wasn't in the first century

@Fish_andChipper @weedinhaler24 @TheyThemItalian The Huns were a nation, the Scythians were a Nation (and are described as such..) No, they weren't a state. but we're talking about NATIONS not NATION-STATES. There's a difference!

@Fish_andChipper @weedinhaler24 @TheyThemItalian Why were the Gaels of Scotland still called Irish centuries after they had stopped living in Ireland, if it's based on the place you're born, not your language and culture? Were the children of English Settlers in Medieval Ireland Irish or English? @Fish_andChipper

@Fish_andChipper @weedinhaler24 @TheyThemItalian We have Anglo-Saxon law-codes discriminating against the Welsh.. how would this work if it was simply a geographic marker? Would an Anglo-Saxon monarch welcome a Welsh-speaking man born in Northumbria and persecute the Anglo-Saxon speaking settler born in Cumbria? Clearly not!

@ErisianMatti @airport_dentist @TheyThemItalian Yes, he called them Swedes, the Latin word for that being Suione. Do you know where Suione comes from? The Proto-Germanic Swiho.. which became Svii in Old Norse, and Sweo in Old English... which is where we get Sweden and then Swede. Don't be pedantic!

@ErisianMatti @airport_dentist @TheyThemItalian So what? He still attests to the existence of a sea-faring, mercantile people called Swedes in an area where co-incidentally a similar group of people with the same name would still live a thousand years later. None of the errors undo that lol

@airport_dentist @TheyThemItalian Tacitus also said they lived on an island, gave ALL of their weapons to one slave when they weren't using them, and had a truly absolute monarch that for all the other details he gleaned about them from naval construction to economy, he didn't catch the name of

@Rage_Crayon @avonalmond @TheyThemItalian Very dishonest Motte-and-bailey from the OP then to retreat to talking about modern nation-states because actual nations existed during and before the mediaeval period

@avonalmond @TheyThemItalian People generally differentiate tribal polities from states and I don’t think I’ve seen anyone date the Swedish state itself to before the Geats were subsumed which indeed was by the first Christian king who was the son of the first independently verifiable king.

@zuppaiaia @weedinhaler24 @TheyThemItalian "The Pictish people also at this time are at peace with the English nation.." "The Britons, though they, for the most part, as a nation hate and oppose the English nation..." All of this is before England as a state came to be. What is meant by nation in this context?

@zuppaiaia @weedinhaler24 @TheyThemItalian Here is a (translated) quote from the Venerable Bede, who lived in the 8th century. "In the year of our Lord 616, which is the twenty-first year after Augustine and his company were sent to preach to the English nation"

@zuppaiaia @weedinhaler24 @TheyThemItalian It's meaning has remained the same. Nations have always existed, only nation-states haven't. "Þou arte meved of affeccioun Whiche þat þou hast to Grekis nacioun." "This mannys name Norbert þoo þei called, Of Teutonys nacioun."

@Fish_andChipper @weedinhaler24 @TheyThemItalian What do you reckon these middle-English writers meant by nation? "This mannys name Norbert þoo þei called, Of Teutonys nacioun." "Þou arte meved of affeccioun Whiche þat þou hast to Grekis nacioun."

@pinkiedown Just looked and saw you're from Indonesia LOL. No wonder you're so rabid about Rhaenyra and her faction when its a form of escapism from your life in a third world hell-hole where child marriage is still common. I feel bad for you!
