Like an empty time capsule in tattooed tartan pajamas

I had not realized until tonight how early exposure to The Blues Brothers (1980) teaches a person to recognize Nazi dogwhistles, but I was linked to this article about a pseudo-Celtic fascist-prop TV series in attempted development and as soon as I read that "our present filmmaker froths about the Globalist Multicultural Romans bringing African soldiers over to oppress the Britons," I heard Henry Gibson through a bullhorn: "White men, white women, the swastika is calling you . . . The Jew is using the Black as muscle against you." Illinois Nazis.

To really make them froth at the mouth, we could point out how those African soldiers probably settled down in the vicus outside the fort with a nice Celtic girl and became part of the Celtic bloodline.

Mind you, around about my home town it seems like they were mostly bringing in Frisians (Danes), Breuci (Bosnians), Vingones (Gauls) and Varduli (Celt-Iberians) to 'oppress' the Celts, and its easy to see why he wouldn't want any actual facts tainting his ur-myth, because especially with the Frisians that metaphor could twist back and bite him with it's tale of Tyr-worshipping blonde auxiliaries coming over here to steal our women.
