  1. Ashkenazi in general had to engage in marrying relatives cause they did not want to marry people of other religions, not to say they were usually shunned by non-Jews

  2. Yeah, Celts are true Britons. Before the Stuarts the word "British" was used almost exclusively to talk about Brittonic Celts. New "British" identity was constructed after the union of England and Scotland

  3.  @Dave-hu5hr  Welsh are not Spanish, they are native Britons. Celtic culture in the iron age dispersed mostly through acculturation, and rather slowly, at least that is what archaeology shows, and the idea that Celts are from Iberia is only one and not the strongest hypothesis. Not to mention that being the most native among current ethnic groups still makes them native. It is like pathetic attempts of white Americans to say native Americans are "immigrants too" cause their ancestors migrated 30 thousand years ago (and then developed their whole cultures, languages, etc. right in America for around 1000 generations, which is certainly not the same as coming 500 years ago with pre-existing culture and language)

  6. No, actually monarchy was ended during February revolution in February 1917, which was a liberal revolution. Then next revolution happened in October (by Julian calendar), and bolsheviks executed the former emperor

  7. Stop with all those insane conspiracy theories. And stop Diana personality cult too..

  8. True, Romanovs were not Russian for a long time. Catherine 2nd was from some German state, and her husband, Peter 3, was too. And later their descendants married German princesses

  9. Oh how nice, George looked like a murderer. Bloody Nicholas was a common nickname

  10. Marrying a cousin once is not such a big deal. Now when they did it in every generation, that had very bad results!

  11. Juana was also mad not because of her parents being cousins. Madness ran longer in her family. Her grandmother, Isabella's mom, was mad as well

  12.  @Patrick3183  institution of monarchy? Its existence disrespects the democratic principles lol 😂 which is much worse

  13.  @SJ-ql2gx  they just know their family trees very well. If you knew your family tree just as well, you would probably discover your parents are also distant relatives. Because it is almost always the case. Unless your parents came from different continents

  14.  @earthlingalien439  like 17th cousins? It is not "related". If most people knew their whole family tree, we would all see our parents are 5th, 7th, 10th, whatever cousins. In most cases, at least

  15. Diana was too. Everyone seems to forget she was cheating too. Was just as bad as these two

  16. She was not as good as many people think... Not smart, not very independent, not really talented. Just pretty and from influential family

  17. Why?

  18. He is not that bad. Everyone mad about him because of Diana's personality cult
    1
  19. Because of the Protestant vs Catholic nonsense... And then you realise all that was a thing only because Henry 8th really wanted a divorce, so separated Anglican church from Catholic one...

  20. And Romanovs were German 95-99% themselves

  21. His parents did a huge disservice for him

  22. Charlie's cheating and Diana's own cheating ruined their marriage
    1
  23. She did nothing to Diana. Charlie's cheating and Diana's own cheating ruined their marriage. And then Diana died because she did not their a seatbelt like an idiot she was. Honestly, all of them were assholes

  24. Diana also cheated. So she is also a whore? Logically yes

  25.  mikki sonn  nah, it is his sisters who married nazis

  26.  @lauraz2896  genetically all humans 99% similar, so ethnicity is actually culture, language and identity. A lot of aristocrats in Scotland and Wales were much more anglicised than ordinary people for a long time

  27. Any hereditary hierarchy is yikes. Royalty is no more but the symbol of "tradition". But what is tradition and traditionalism? A fancy way of saying "we should keep the status quo as it is just because it was like that for a long time". It is an idea promoted by those, who economically and socially benefit from status quo staying as it is. As long as at the top of the society there is an institution, which is a symbol of blind traditionalism, the true change will be severely limited. The biggest changes always came after challenging the previous power structure and extent of power of monarchy, for example, after the Glorious revolution in England or French Revolution in France
