Why are schizoids so obsessed with Indo-Europeans? We know very little about them; it's such a broad concept, and the only thing we can be certain of is that they were brutal barbarians with very little cultureEverything else is speculation
>>18000173>they were brutal barbarians This is key. They are a way for neutered whiteoid wagies to feel masculine by association. Leftists wewuz as niggers and rightists as steppe niggers.
>>18000173The topic is rich in information and interesting. They were very influential, to your misfortune. Those who are obsessed with them are people like you, for example, who, when there is a discussion, desperately try to cause intrigue. Formulate your arguments better. What is considered "pure speculation"? And barbarians is actually a broad concept. The same people who coined this term appropriated elements that the barbarians created. If you know a little history, you will know what I'm talking about
>>18000173>We know very little about themNot really. It's one of the most well-studied subjects of the century. We know what they were like genetically, their languages (linguistics), funerary and social customs, their religion and worldview (comparative mythology) are partially reconstructed. We even know what their specific form of poetry was like and how important it was in IE societies. We know a lot about them significantly. In fact, the fact that they were barbarians and yet managed to shape the ethnogenesis and language of almost 1/3 of Eurasia is what makes them impressive to researchers. This is not something you see every day.
>>18000173cool OP, you wrote that in a barbaric language IE
They seem like the anti-jeet. In every admirable culture and man I find some strain of WSH spirit or even some kind of cultural and genetic descent from them. >>18000204I will admit there is an appeal in not paying taxes or dealing with all of this. But I can admit this whole brownoids built entire civilizations of gruel eating toilers that achieved not even a fraction of what we have since trying our hand at this meme, unwashed. Literally no concept of soap among them until Romans forced it in them. The appeal to cast it all off is great especially being a wagie stuck in my cagie.
>>18000273We Wuz Egyptians/Phoenicians N' Shiet.
>>18000268We don't know their language, we don't know their religion either, reconstructions aren't actual history but mere hypothesis that cannot be verified
>>18000331Are you deliberately stupid or are you being paid? You speak a Germanic language, with Germanic morphology, and with Germanic lexemes. The alphabet was only useful to people after the Industrial Revolution, and even the alphabet is based on Latin, not Egyptian.We wuz retardz n shietNice try, insect
>>18000349That wasn't a consistent objection. Please try again or I should abandon the thread out of willful ignorance.
>>18000371>and even the alphabet is based on Latin, not EgyptianThe Latin alphabet comes from the Greek, which comes from Phoenician, from Proto-Sinaitic, from Egyptian Hieroglyphics, you retard. It's not my fault your peasant ancestors were illiterate until Industrial Revolution and couldn't understand patrician letters, just barbarian sounds.
>>18000173how come the indo part of the indo european that stayed in modern india is such a retarded shithole? do not mention british colonization
>>18000410As I said, the alphabet is irrelevant for most of history, and is based on Latin, not directly on Egyptian or Phoenician, admit it, you're a two-breasted beast. You're speaking a barbaric language
>>18000413>the alphabet is irrelevant for most of historyHistory literally arose with the invention of writing, your barbarian. Why do you think we know nothing about the history of Northern Europe, America and Sub-Saharan Africa before the Middle Ages?
>>18000428>bla bla blaThis is not true. Writing is not essential for advancement. It was not only limited but also extremely useless. Oral translation and oral instruction dominated human history; today, even a beggar can read, but we have never been so stupid in absorbing knowledge.There were people who knew how to read but couldn't write, and people who knew how to write but couldn't read their own words correctly. Even in Egypt, which you so idolize, the majority of the population was illiterate. Plato said that popularizing literacy would be bad because it would make people lazy. When the Romans asked the Gauls why they didn't use the Greek alphabet, they responded something similar to Plato: that writing would make the mind complacent, and the effort and training of learning and memorization would be wasted.>And so it is that you by reason of your tender regard for the writing that is your offspring have declared the very opposite of its true effect. If men learn this, it will implant forgetfulness in their souls. They will cease to exercise memory because they rely on that which is written, calling things to remembrance no longer from within themselves, but by means of external marks.
>>18000440>Writing is not essential for advancementI'm talking about History, not Advancement. The Gauls had their Brahmins killed by Caesar, if they were not as ignorant as Plato, we would know more about them than the Romans tell us. What's the point of making advances, whether poetic/philosophical or material/technological, if not even the people in future will know you made them? If the Romans didn't know how to write about themselves, we wouldn't know how incredible they were compared to the others.
They like the opportunity to larp/fantasize about white people romantic noble savages. It's why they have the Indo-Aryans being these warhammer-esque caracitures or think of vikings as pseudo native americans when the fucking Anglo-Saxons were mad at their women lusting after Norse men because they were so fastidiously clean and elegant with combed hair.At some point it will revert back to the same romanticism they got back in the 20th century which wasn't 'white negro barbarian' but rather noble, clean and crisp primitivist.
>>18000173>Why are [schizos] so obsessed with Indo-Europeans?Most of them are either Indian or Middle eastern brown with an unhealthy fascination with whiteness.>case in point: r/southasianancestry
>>18000173Schizoids and schizophrenics are two very different things, you retard.
>>18000219I look like this and do this.
My ancestors :)
>>18000440>Writing is not essential for advancementholy cope. it's hilarious how delusionally mentally ill those nordishitters are
Yes, the obsession is pretty stupid. Compared to literate civilizations like the Indus Valley, they probably did look like brutal barbarians.
We know actually a lot about them considering we can reconstruct some of their gods the time they split into different tribes, the movement of their journeys and some of their language.
>>18000173Indo-European studies have the same appeal that the Dark Souls games have. You're working with a lot of disconnected fragments of evidence and putting them together in a way that reflects your ideas. There's a lot of fun to be had in playing detective with disparate pieces of data and artifacts and linguistics. While of course there was an original culture, right now it is impossible to say what they were like. So what you get are people inventing a lot of stories and cultural traits that we don't have evidence for, but they would really like to be true.
>>18000268>funerary and social customs, their religion and worldview (comparative mythology) are partially reconstructedThe religion definitely cannot be reconstructed. The branches are all too different from one another for that to happen without basically choosing one derivative as the model arbitrarily.
>>18000173>Why are schizoids so obsessed with Indo-Europeans?They are definitionally our ancestors. I don't think there's any more to it than this.Were these so called schizoids born to different parents they'd be sperging about different people.Not like we don't have resident boos of every variety here already.>We know very little about them>and the only thing we can be certain of is that they were brutal barbarians with very little cultureHow can you know that when you admit you know little of them? Seems like reactionary bias on your part.
>>18001615>They are definitionally our ancestorsnot the only ones, any individual with european ancestry have as much if not more ancestry from EEF and WHG and almost no one obsesses over them
>>18001712>not the only onesYes, but between male lineage and them being by far the better studied of them all (largely due to having the most cultural impact, very little culture my ass) is it really any surprise they're who everyone cares about?
>>18000714>nordishitters>everyone i dont like is a nordshitter or a jeetWhy do you even come to this board? Just to shill or for shitting all over the place?
