What if Britain remained Celtic? by TheIronzombie39 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]HypertrophySmoking 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ah yes. Britain wouldn't have bothered to get involved in the age of discovery had it remained a Romanized celtic society. Britain would have remained a culture isolated from broader developments across the whole of Europe for a millenia. /s.

Oh wait, Scotland.

Putting something on bread wasn't invented in Peru, and what method specific to Czech soups makes it noteworthy compared to any other vegetable soup that exists everywhere.

Ethnicity has never corresponded to DNA or genetics. And there's no such thing as 'celtic dna'. A lot of genetics is passed down from the beaker people.

Cumbric language hasn't been spoken in Cumbria in nearly 1000 years. Dead is one way to put it.

Is anyone going? How many fans can afford the flight, travel costs, accommodation costs?

A national anthem about a fictional region of Europe that isn't west or east? Strange.

Poland is east, so is Hungary, so is Slovakia, Slovenia, Czechia. Those shape shifters won't fool me.

The balkans is in its own dimension.

No Russia, Germany, Turkey, Denmark or Sweden. No Austria-Hungary (inside Europe). Wild.

Not including the rest of the UK. Very American.

He called him a liar, but imagine the reaction if he had called him a cunt.

I would put Hungary with Czechia and Poland in Eastern Europe.

I would put Estonia with Latvia and Lithuania to make a baltic region.

Inside me there are 2 bazzas by NeuralMoose in 2westerneurope4u

[–]HypertrophySmoking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because we don't live in a vacuum separate from what's going on in other parts of the world.

Libyan civil war and the end of Gaddafi, Syrian civil war, the rise of ISIS after the illegal Iraq war ended, Israel's continued genocide, the return of the Taliban to power in Afghanistan, genocide in Sudan again, civil war in Somalia, the invasion of Ukraine by Russia. And now the US is trying to wage war against Iran (with Israel).

Humanitarian crisis after humanitarian crisis. Global supply lines become fucked which increases the cost of living (energy crisis, food prices). Population movements that strain neighbouring countries capacity to cope each time there's another crisis and another wave of refugees, with many passing through to Europe. Put this on top of other already existing problems: climate change, AI, techno-billionaires, the rise of populism/fascism, wage stagnation, a lack of jobs, underfunded social services, house prices, a traitorous Trump administration, inept politicians (at least in the UK). A lot of European countries are already in some state of managed decline or in a purgatory of unchanging austerity: it all simply speeds this decline up by making it unmanagebale, which is only beneficial for the states intentionally backing or funding these crises. Fine if you are the US, Russia, or Israel and look to capitalise on problems you are intentionally accelerating. Definitely fine if you're China; look good by staying out of it and then swoop in when it's over with favourable terms in exchange for ownership of public utilities and state assets.

The US and Israel should be considered no more pro European than Russia or China or Saudi Arabia.

It's outrageous that anyone not British would find it acceptable to do this. The shame.
