Here's a short thread to exemplify how the term "Anglo-Saxon" is used to mean 'wyte', associated w/ wyte supremacy & misused not only by Americans but equally by British ppl, & also scholars. Before you steal my work, cite me. Here we go: #medievaltwitter 1/pic.twitter.com/E1zX0W36Ps

Wait, when you quote the OE proverb, you're talking about how all that colonization is coming back to bite England in the ass and Brexit is basically fucking you all over, right? LMAO

Shit and when he quoted me an OE saying, I thought that he was joking. Knocked that up to cringey levels.

Oh, it's not the language itself but that out of place OE sayings by an account like 'Angelcynn' suggests nonfluency and a lazy understanding of 'Anglo-Saxons' all rolled up into nationalism.

you need to log off and go outside. Also I find it funny that you are using the Sutton Hoo helmet reconstruction as an image (East Anglian, early 7th c.), calling yourself Angelcynn (a term from the late 9th. c) and also Anglo-Saxon (a term not widely used then)

(and also has a longer history as a racist term) and you're throwing around random OE sayings as if that supports whatever white nationalist nonsense you're spouting.
