What does it mean to be English?

Oh look, a squeamish reactionary. No, this guy isn't part of the Alt Right. He's a genetics and Indo-European obsessed Heathen. Would fit in better here than a Baked Alaska podcast.


Come to think of it, I don't think I've posted any actual Alt Right videos here? The hell is wrong with you? That brainwashed?

Rowsell is an p-I1-seant LARPing as an Indo-European...

His videos are quite good though.

Tom is far more alt-right than 'Baked Alaska', he just keeps his politics quiet.

Absolutely true what he says. I've noticed it's perfectly fine to be proud Welsh/Irish/Scottish and want to preserve Celtic heritage and traditions and speak about you know a shared Celtic bond by blood and culture. The English on the other hand...

Perhaps that guy is just not smart unlike most of his tribesmen.

The English realise that their ancestors almost completely genocided the language, culture, heritage and traditions of Welsh/Irish/Scottish people. And it would be not a good idea to be proud of heritage of genocidal murderers.

As if killing and supressing people was something unique to the Anglo-Saxons. Modern day English have a lot to be proud of, like ruling the most infulential Empire in the world. Spreading their language and culture making it basically a standard language almost anywhere in the world. Not to mention the inventions and many other contributions by English scholars and scientist throughout history only basically matched by the Germans and the French.
Also the genocide as you describe it doesn't seme to have been particularly sucessful as we have Celtic speaking people today and their traditions and language only seems to be dying nowadays cause of their own lack of interest in them.

"Lack of interest in own traditions and language" is a direct consequence of the preceding cultural genocide. And the English had zero contributions and influence in world when they for example genocided the language of Scottish people.

I'm not interested in debating historical atrocities. Every ethnic group has blood on it's hands there's nothing more to say about this other than that the Anglo-Saxons were more powerful. You can go further back and claim that the main ancestors of modern day Irish and Scots(the Indo-European Bell Beakers) genocided, replaced and pushed away the rather peaceful farmers of the British isles during the Bronze Age and so on.
Modern day decline of Gaelic and Welsh culture and language has little to do with the English people and the British rule. It's part of the globalisation and the popular culture coming from America, it's happening everywhere and no one is forcing the Irish to stop learning their native language. I'm pretty sure Gaelic and Welsh were more widely spoken %-wise in Wales and Ireland 200-300 years ago during the height of the so called "English supression".

Ok, let's agree to disagree.

I insist that "decline of Gaelic and Welsh culture" have nothing to do with "modern day globalisation and the popular culture" and have everything to do with deadly wounds inflicted on them many centuries ago.

Why not?

To be English you must support constitutional monarchy, live in a shitty apartment, and watch Dr. Who. If you meet less than all these criteria, you are just a poser.
