I'm so confused by this premise...
Traditionally, Arthur was pretty explicitly post-Roman. And he was Welsh, and fought against Anglo-Saxons.
What's the political point they're trying to make? Daily Wire pivoting to supporting Plaid Cymru?
Originally, but then he was co-opted by the Anglos to be one of their culture heroes, right?
Yeah it's super weird, though, because it seems like in this he'd pretty explicitly be fighting Saxons, so it's kind of hard to elide that in the same way.
Well, hard if you expect any of your viewers to know any of the actual tradition behind Arthur or to critically consider the media they consume in any way, which of course is something the daily wire doesn't need to deal with.
Would be a phenomenal bit
but i think the grains of the Britons being Christian and the invaders non-Christian establish the heap that the show is dogwhistling non-christian immigration, especially in the UK context where boat-borne migrants are a perennial right wing dead horse
Don't right-wingers still idolize like, "based pagans" or whatever? These Saxons would still have been worshipping Wotan, I think.
I guess Ben's not part of that faction, though.
Ben and I presume most jewish conservatives probably aren't into right-wing neopaganism, that tends to be really antisemitic. But there are heaps of right-wingers who egg on people that want them dead
Yeah Ben is part of the Jerusalem -> Athens -> Rome Western Civilization perverts, not the "RETVRN" White Supremacist perverts.
I'm losing my mind at you using heap like this
I thought the legend of King Arthur was about him going to save a princess after she was taken by Satan himself, with the holy knife, Excalibur.
They're trying to play into the idea that Britain, right now, is being invaded by brown people
Are they confusing Arthur with Alfred?
