I'm fairly certain that's wrong, you got a source on that? From what I know it's about him driving the druids from Ireland and converting the people to Catholicism since he believed that the druids were "snakes" as in symbols of evil/charlatans

Source: I'm irish

Have fun 🙃

Those kind of theories quite fascinating me, where you look at author you cannot be sure how much of it its trolling and how much is actually beliving that shit.

Really? That's strange, I've never heard of the Twa people before and my granddad is very into his Irish history, so it's just a little surprising to me.

Yeah, AskHistorians is saying the Twa people being from Ireland was a myth invented around the 1800s-1900s

Website you linked is batshit insane, tho, omg

"Black people celebrating because of genetic memory" Nah, it's an excuse for all people everywhere to get drunk because the bars are full and party-hard, there's also parades and public drunkenness is pretty much ignored

Clearly the Irish just throw the best parties 😛

But yeah all jokes aside the afroperspectives thing is hokey

Leprechauns known for being dwarf-like in size - article names a height that is barely smaller than the average of the time

So what if the leprechauns are just immortal irish men hmm <:TimThink:482277772497125378>

Shit, we've been caught

you know how old people seem to get a bit shorter as time goes on?

what happens if you never die.

you just inverse grow

I've been thinking recently about the pros of a constituional monarchy. I think there is untapped potential that is overlooked in a constitutional monarchy. I'm not saying that one should be put in power, just that it has some benefits.

The main reason I was thinking about this is, if someone spent 20 years being taught to lead a nation it would be a great benefit. Especially, if the person elected into monarchy was a highly qualified individual

who could teach their offspring

/heir

It’s not a merit based system though. Some heirs just aren’t fit to lead.

I mean tbh, if the king had multiple heirs

he dedicated over two decades teaching

it might be good

teaching how to manipulate the people into blinding following you for your own selfish gains? oh yeah, brilliant.

you know what might also be a good idea? Autocrats school 101, hosted by hillary clinton.

No I mean, if the constituion made it illegal for the king/queen to porfit from it

and the king/queen also had to teach morals and ethics

to their heirs

They profit from it by default, they have most of the power.

Or the are just a figure head.

@Timcast M hey i watched your video about abortion where you compared a baby to a vampire and I was thinking does this mean you’d be ok with me removing money given to people on welfare since they are sapping my life in a slightly different but comparable way only i never did anything that would lead them to suck out my life

Figured this was a better place

Then you also need to get rid of the benefits a king would get. Some are in it for the power and nothing else.

removing a baby from your body is different from shooting someone in the head

providing welfare to a person is different from forcing a person to provide their being to another

the blood of a woman is not the same as handing someone a sandwich

i dont like abortion and I dont think it should be used as contraception

but Im more worried about a government that can mandate you provide your body to another
