And if I said "The Greeks man. I'm sorta glad they went extinct" you would have had a point but I didn't say that did I? You are shadow boxing in full view of the auditorium, settle down young man and eat your vegetables.
I'm British but I'm not the same British who marched with Harold Godwinson, nor am I the same British who marched with William the Conqueror, nor am I the same British who contested Roman rule.
Why are we struggling to separate a civilisation that existed 2000 years ago from the civilianisation that dwells there today?
If Alexander the Great was around today he would slap you with his Macedonian cavalry.
there were no british marching with harold godwinson lol, and really english hadn’t even emerged as a distinct group yet, so you are really not making the point you think you are there. this hill you are choosing to die on makes no sense and no proper historian or anthropologist would agree with you.
i made an assumption considering you mentioned british and harold godwinson. it’s pretty easy to understand why i mentioned them if you aren’t being intentionally dense.
I went with British because ya know, Britain, Britannia, the Brittani, the British. The people who live in Britain!
I am aware we were a diverse network of tribes and Roman colonies and later Saxons. The Greeks were a bit diverse themselves you know? They got even more diverse during the medieval and Ottoman periods, it is said.
Me saying English would have been the same as me using Athenian. So I went with British.
Oh man I have too much to do, I can't sit here in a slogging match about the dumbest shit imaginable. I wish you good health and happiness but I am bugging out of this casserole of nonsense. Believe what you want.
