The Celts originally occupied the Iberian peninsula, Gaul, Germania, Ireland, and Britain. What we know of the Celts comes primarily from the Romans, since the Celts didn't have a written language. What little bits of writing remain from the Celts was near the early Roman Empire, and in vulgar Latin.

Of course, the Romans ultimately conquered a lot of those areas, into Britain up to about Hadrian's Wall. I believe they semi-conquered Cornwall and Wales, to the extent that they "ruled" those areas, but still left them generally to their own devices. Only Wales really retained its relative independence, as is evidenced by the fact that Welsh still exists, while Cornish is barely holding on after having become extinct and then revived.

The reason I compared "pagan" to "hillbilly" and "redneck" is because plenty of people wear those names with pride, too, even while many other people continue to use them in derogatory ways.

In fact, the word "pagan" appears to be slightly derogatory, along the lines of "hillbilly" or "redneck."

The word "Celt" does not carry that kind of connotation, at least not in the word by itself.

It's 2025, they're called Celts.

Meta (Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp), X/Twitter, TikTok - all of these are fascist mouthpieces. Consider any information you gain through them to be propaganda.

You're free to take whatever tone you want. Tone aside, I see that all you ever really do is rant about "libs" and blame everyone for fascism except fascists.

This does not make sense.

Your tone definitely makes me want to take your advice.

Whatever you need to think to excuse fascists for being fascists, I guess.

I have to say it again:

  • Fascists promise to do fascist things
  • Americans elect fascists
  • Fascists do fascist things
  • HOW COULD DEMOCRATS DO THIS???

When I did my five lines, recursively opening frames inside frames ad infinitum, it would crash browsers of the time in a matter of twenty seconds.
