This page doesn't describe the principle replacement, of which it has a massive gap, the colonising of English and Scottish in Ulster didn't start in earnest until 1610 after the "Flight of the Earls" of O'Niell and O'Donnell. The Settling of these groups was specifically to wipe away the Gaelic identity of Ulster on account of it being the strongest centre of such. The relevant section of the article draws quotes in the context of the Nine-years war and it's lead-up.
I suggest you look into it:

I'm sure the original Ulstermen would have been fine being ethnically replaced by the Scots and English if they were only Catholic.

> it’s arrogance to assume we can handle everything under the sun to absolute perfection.
Exactly, so how exactly is denying the generalisation of the entire breadth of the population in favour of a small subset benefitting anyone except your selected margin in your "biz" circles?
There's a huge block between "THOT" and "power partner" that covers the vast majority of women. Even then, to what standard are you even going to hold the THOTs too if you don't recognise the generalisation?
This is all arguing to the utility side of things but It is still wrong per-se for a Man to forgo his duty of leadership or a Woman to hold authority over man.

I can't see much of what you are saying here connected to reality. certainly not a fitting perspective to understand male/female dynamics. Male bonding isn't a lost art. In a vacuum sans the insanity of today any two regular men can experience it.

Nah, I've heard this for years and don't buy it. Men are the most unconscientious people in the world. They are also the most conscientious. In my experience women are the least consistent in being conscientious. Just like the intelligence bell curve, it's flatter for men but a standard deviation ahead of women who's average clusters towards mediocrity or worse in the virtue.
The main burden of male responsibility in my life and in the lives of all the men I observe around me regarding our women is the patience we have with their utter thoughtlessness. Perhaps a well groomed woman will learn what to divert her energy towards but I have never seen such sans a male leading them in such a way. Likewise I have never seen women naturally make bonds with other women in a vacuum anywhere approaching that between men, nor ply some mythical feminine guile to diffuse a situation. To the contrary It has always been cooler headed men to navigate such troubled social waters in my experience. If anything their only leverage would be to force men to take the burden of them into account when considering confrontation with another.
I suspect the reason many guys will relate to your summation is because many of our recent generations, God help the Zoomers, have had to feel their way towards the masculine rolls with every societal pressure except the reality of their relationships telling them to do otherwise. The ONLY exceptions I have ever encountered were Nuns and individuals of excellence like Florence Nightingale, all of whom had extremely influential and hands on male tutelage and in their writings expressed every contempt for common women of all social strata, especially those baying for access to what was effectively social manhood.
It's very easy, especially today, for men to forgo their duties of leadership and just say "yes honey"; that was Adam's first sin in a way.

Hitler was just so much more than any Caesar or Napoleon. Yes he was a competent commander and chief, yes he sparred in the political sphere, but for a man to come from the bottom, tie all the talented men of his generation together into one movement and accomplish all he did with no larger, corrupting ambition, just purely on the virtue of his cause; is there any other who surpasses him?

From the enlisted memoirs I have read it would seem that only Cpts and Lts are really on the footslogger radar. Any greater responsibility is likely out of their awareness or fatalistically accepted; company and platoon commanders are the ones who coordinate and hold up their little patch of hell and so it's them that'll inspire, or break, the moral of a rifleman.

This is a pretty interesting study that sheds light on the genetic aspect: sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/03/150318145420.htm
It turns out even the most Anglo-Saxon/Scandinavian areas never exceed 40% admixture. England is primarily Brythonic Celt in stock.
Interestingly West Yorkshire is an enclave for one of the oldest genetically distinct groups, perhaps the remnant of the kingdom of Elmet.
Of note also is that the remaining explicit Celtic groups of the isles are less related to each other than they are to the A-S settlers, good ammo against arguments denying any British people; that we were a mongrelization of immigrants. We're so related to others in our north western area that we can't even parse out Vikings from Cornish without a fine scale study.

Honestly I've only absorbed what little I know through osmosis, perhaps a more general history would be appropriate before reading the classics and narrowing down. Philosophy sounds tasty too, if I start early would Confucius give me a good foundation for contemporary thought beside the historical reading?

Can you recommend an English translation of romance of the three kingdoms , annals of the warring states and the Spring and Autumn annals or is it better for non classical-chinese students to read more general history books regarding the periods? Any recommendations?

Fundamentally it lacks any sort of truth claim, it is based on civic observance of rituals, not faith and piety towards ultimate truth that can only be revealed through divine revelation.
Without that, all you have is a mythological legend and aesthetics, the mere veneer of religion resembling the meaningful expressions from actual religions which make active claims to revealed divine truth.
No Roman, Viking or Steppe nomad would have died for their God's glory, their Gods were merely receptacles of public approval for doing the community rituals. As long as you observed them you were "pious", even if you didn't believe. Likewise, if you refused to observe them, any misfortune would be attributed to you angering the Gods or not paying adequate tribute. It was always YOUR fault for not appeasing them, failure, trouble, corruption could always be turned around and used to shame the plebs into further compliance. A mere mechanism for social control and uniformity playing on superstition.
Social pressure and the pride of observing the rituals of the current civic superstition reinforced by fawning sycophants going "so brave". But refuse to observe the ritual and suddenly it was obviously your fault that your co-worker's second cousins great-grandfather died of Covid. You didn't pay the tribute, you should be shamed.
Such is the insipid shallowness of historic pagan "spirituality" and why, lacking any actual contact with the divine, modern recreations fail to capture any of the original vitality that may have been there due to strenuous conditions of survival and tribal warfare.
Anthony Fauci will always be a better Pontifex Maximus than Sven Bloodbeard (formerly Steven Butterworth) pouring out a drop of beer onto the floor for the Gods.

Furthermore, there was the flagrant unconstitutionality of levying taxes and tariffs at the expense of one sector or region for the explicit benefit of another. The North leveraged it's larger voting base in spite of these protections for minorities against mob rule. The exploited in this case being southern raw goods trade and the beneficiaries being mostly northern industrialists, primarily in rail and textiles. One cannot talk of the Civil War without the context of the previous decades of heavy tariffs on Cotton and tobacco exports culminating in the "Tariff of abominations" and the nullification crisis of 1832, a sort of dress rehearsal for 61'.
When Lincoln, a complete dark horse unknown scion of staunch protectionist Henry Clay and long time crony rail lawyer, got into office despite not being on any southern ballot that, for many, was the last straw; they were convinced the federal government would not respect their constitutional protections and seceded. We know mistrust in the federal government's integrity was the main reason because Virginia, Arkansas, Tennessee and N. Carolina didn't even secede until AFTER Lincoln called up 100,000 men to invade the South. Evidently the late seceders naively thought Lincoln could be reasoned with and the system saved until he went full dictator invading sovereign states, censoring the press and locking up thousands of dissidents in the media and government by waving the right to habeas corpus.
This really is the only way to make sense of the start of the war.
>The war was over Slavery
-Why did the South attack first?
>Because Lincoln tricked them into firing the first shot
-Why did he have to do that if the North already had the casus belli of emancipation?
>Well because Northerners were racist
-If Northerners didn't want emancipation why did the South think their slaves were in danger of being freed that they'd secede?
>'Out of context excerpt from a state's ordinance of secession.'
-Is there any actually evidence the institution of Slavery was under threat in the existing slave states?
>muh cornerstone speech
-can Lincoln or ANY northern politician, General or other person of note be quoted as wanting to end slavery in the south?
The argument really comes down to the pro slavery-war side being forced to assert a covert conspiracy where the entire Northern establishment was trying to strip the South of slavery while swearing to the exact opposite, silencing dissenting voices, suffering mass race riots and desertions at the mere mention of such policy, and then using that to misattribute Southern racial attitudes against the tiny militant emancipators into the improper context of it being the soul reason for secession. This is all before one even mentions the Corwin amendment a feeble olive branch to try and deescalate the crisis which would have enshrined slavery into the constitution as a protected right of states to practice which was rejected by the south.

There are only around 500 people on earth. They keep shuffling them around like sleight of hand to create the illusion of more, but really, no one knows more than 100 people personally.
There are always at least 400 'unknowns' which keeps everyone's 100 'knowns' unique enough to maintain the illusion that there really are more than 500 people if you ask another person how many people they know, when in reality it's just overlap and trickery appealing to the gaslighting people have suffered subverting their natural solipsistic intuition of dismissing most experience outside of themselves as absurd and being tricked into entertaining this idea that there are literally billions of unknown people just milling about doing nothing. Has anyone seen these billions? Who the fuck has counted them? Who the fuck can?! Show me the fucking tally 9 billion lines long!
All it takes is 5 of the 500 to maintain this charade, 4 of them are Jews, go figure.

Definitely, there is the potential for a truly good, gritty and tactically engaging one year war game floating in the aether that could compete with Armoured Core and MechWarrior, there was just never the talent and recourses dedicated to it.
All the elements are there:
>bulky mechs requiring forethought for positioning and savvy use of recourses.
>Modular damage effecting playstyle throughout a mission/campaign as more parts accrue damage or are destroyed.
>Range of models and loadouts allowing for different playstyles between assault, stand-off firepower, and manoeuvrability.
>Battlefields spanning every terrain around the world +the option for extra-terrestrial battles.
>Context of the entire Gundam UC universe adding great depth to the world story that the player could be thrown into.

I remember having fun with Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire (I think that's its name, seems like it from the wiki) after playing Armoured core: For answer for all it was worth (really wish I could emulate that). You command a squad for either a Zeon or the Federation campaign during the one year war. Kinda like a Mechwarrior type game allowing you to go from GMs and Zaku 1s all the way to the mass produced Gundams and I think Goufs.
Pretty cheap production but it does well at making you feel the weight and unwieldiness of the Mobile suits without the awful clunky controls of early Armoured Core.
Gundam Evolution is a pretty fun 5v5 arena shooter, though, I only ever play the ranged Zaku II in it with Goku's English VA as my pilot voice.
