I seriously doubt I would like Mel Gibson in real life but he does clearly understand, with movies like "Braveheart" and "The Patriot," that the real problem throughout history has been the English. They've been far worse than the bush-leaguer Nazis, and they did it for 300 years, not a decade like the Nazis.
They were even worse than the Jewsish Bolshevists in Russia.
What the English have done to the world is unspeakable, and what they did to Inrelard was even worse than what they did to Scotland.
I'd like to see Gibson do a movie about the Civil War. The South, after all, was pretty much founded by the Scots-Irish, and the New England Yankees were pretty were in many ways descended from the English. It's as if the whole English/Celtic wars over there were remapped onto the United States in the form of the War between the States.
The Scots-Irish tribe to which you belong has a fatal flaw--they can easily be propagandized into fighting ... for any reason or for no reason. The beginning of the clip has a Scot beginning to think things over about what the impending fight is really all about. Then William Wallace comes riding in to propagandize him as if he's from the Fox News Channel.
At the "end of the day," as the saying goes, Wallace was dead, that guy probably was, too, and the fight had been exactly about what the thinking Scot was saying it was, with no benefit at all to the ordinary peasants who mindlessly went to their deaths, just as there was no benefit at all to any of the Scots-Irish volunteers in the U.S. military who have just been killed or grievously wounded after Englishman GW Bush propagandized them into fighting for "Iraqi Freedom."

And I have no dog in this fight, but I'll lay that you can say that about any number of people on this planet: Tutsis, Aztecs, Germans, English, Comanche, Kurds, . . .
Weld the state cult or religion to a rising level of technology relative to that of one's neighbors and a division of labor that makes a military industrial complex possible, and rulers have all they need to wage war. They only need play on the emotions of their subjects and on their animal greed and desire for gain.
In any case, it is remarkable how quickly the Scots-Irish tribe melted away in the path of the Anglo-Saxon and Scandinavian invasions, leaving virually no linguistic markers or cultural monuments behind except for the the roads and few public builings that the Romans had built. The causes of this rout are not well understood and are very controversial. Perhaps these folk had been too softened up by peace and plenty and civilization to withstand what was really a War of Terror to take the Isles.
