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.

Irish twitter has been thoroughly skewering this nonsense over the last couple of days.

Good for Irish Twitter! Perhaps the dude will just take his racism and go home.

It's a bit harder to get people to buy into this stuff when there was actual oppression in living memory, and the oppressors were inconveniently white!
