>cool swords>cool armor>warrior ethos and honor culture>poetry, arts, nice building, et c>love for animals and nature>...I'm admittedly not quite sure what "love for animals and nature" is supposed to mean here, but other then maybe that, I'm pretty sure that these are all things that a large proportion of premodern civilizations have in common and collectively did, it's not particularly unique to Japan or Medieval Europe.I can only really give a lot of detail on the comparison here for the Aztec, which I'll do if people want me to or if I feel like it later (I'd do it now but the thread is about to 404 and I don't wanna risk taking too long with my reply), but they, and I'm fairly sure Ancient/Medieval China, India, Mesopotamia and Egypt, the Greeks and Romans etc all mostly also had those things, with a few potential caveats. And the only reason I'm no also mentioning other Mesoamerican civilizations, Andean ones, West African or Southeast Asian ones is out of an abundance of caution>>18699632What part of it do you think is a myth? If you mean the concept of "warrior ethos qnd honor culture" in the context of stuff like chivalry and bushido, those aren't a "myth", in the sense that they weren't concept those cultures had?Rather the issue is (as I understand it), they are just overemphasized in popular culture and understanding (as some sort of strict code that was always adhered to, rather then a set of somewhat romantic ideals that people strived to meet and live up to, and were still disregarded or twisted at times when people prioritized their own interests). and people often imagine them to be ethical codes that mirror our modern understanding of etiquette and morality when that's not the case, and they instead still very much existed within the context of ethics as those cultures understood them, which in some ways can be alien and still seem archaic or barbaric by modern standards
>>18699952Liberty is a Germanic concept. Rome ended up as a oriental despotic polity, with Eunuchs and invasions of steppe barbarians.
