Celtic would be better. Gaelic literally means coming from the Gaels, aka the Irish. Welsh and Cornish are Brythonic language speakers, not Goidelic/Gaelic, but they are all Celtic languages. The Angles, Saxons, Frisians and Jutes invaded Celtic Britain starting in the 400s.
I prefer Perfidious Albion
Read the other comments please.
Thanks for this :)
I agree with your last point - and I may be a bit bourgeois (not to mention ignorant) myself. I’d appreciate recommendations if you wouldn’t mind.
Yeah, because I’m a tightarse and only buy the home brand stuff :)
Defund the coppers!
Lead pipes aren’t so bad. It’s lead as an ion rather than an element that’s the problem. The lead that led to the dumbenising and collapse of Rome was actually lead acetate, which is sweeter than sugar. They added it to wine, believe it or not. Then you get the Pb2+ ions in your bloodstream and you start to watch Fox News.
Other things grow, but corn and soybeans are heavily subsidised (not to mention genetically modified).
Reverse irredentism! Now what about historically German lands? From the Maas to the Memel…
Great comment. Refreshing to see some intelligence here from time to time, like the nice sour bready tang of kvass!
It’s come and gone throughout the millennia, like certain pieces of knowledge. Eratosthenes very accurately calculated the circumference of the world in Ptolemaic Egypt and later on people thought the Earth was flat (and some morons still do). As for capitalism, look at prehistoric societies using shells as currency. What is that currency for?
Fair point, I accept that. A bit like how democracy is the worst form of government apart from those other ones we tried.
It’s not “Capitalism”, it’s governments not doing their job in regulating capitalist practices, and instead embracing neoliberal economics. I don’t accept that all ownership is theft. Trade in goods and services benefits both parties. I am so sick of people using this shorthand word “capitalism” to describe what’s going on here. We’ve had capitalism for millennia, and it’s brought us longer, healthier and happier lives, and reduced warfare. It’s Thatcherite/Reaganomic practices by governments that are the problem, not the system of ownership of capital.
“What’s wrong with me, Doc?” “Well, you look like a fag, and your shit’s all retarded.”
Sweden wasn’t as uniquely independent as you think, nor as special. Countries’ leaders act in the country’s interest. The circumstances are different this time - Sweden, like Ireland, was notionally independent in WWII but we all knew whose side they were on, even if non-combatants.
I think he’s American, and has suffered due to their inferior educational system (AU here, nice job negotiating with Turkey’s dictatorship for your own security SE!)
Don’t point fingers.
So that healthcare and education, among other things, are more equitable. Taxes are for subsidising a public good.
