    Oh no I meant she’d be racist to Scots and Irish, but I’m not familiar with English racism particularly well. But I guess she would also be racist against people of color.

    Fun fact: I was once called a mutt by an English woman in the high desert here in California. I don’t know if it was my bastardized accent or my looks but regardless I flipped her off.

    I personally suspect that she may have been better back in the 90s and 00s, remember she has been chumming it up with brain rotten rich profligates who are fueled by suffering for decades at this point. While she most likely still had shit opinions they probably got amplified over time combine that with the internet and you have a rather toxic concoction. Also on average notable rich people tend to not be the quiet types who keep to themselves funding weird little projects, they tend to go insane like Howard Hughes.

    My great grandfather wasn’t worth a fraction of that type of wealth and started going through it, though he combated that type of insanity by traveling around the world. Somehow made friends with someone in the upper elements of the Soviet Communist party during that time.









  • If memory serves right the Finnic language used to expand as far as Perm so it’s possible that when the Hungarians were still nomadic they were brushing up against the Finnic groups and picked up some words. As for Frisian as I said they are ancient as in they were doing Viking raids against Rome, they have interacted with damned near every Germanic language, a couple Celtic languages, and Latin where they picked up weird words is anyone’s guess and that’s assuming that these aren’t archaic words held on from some even more ancient source.
