>barbarism is inherently more noble than civlization
>also black people who are also barbarians are evil, stupid, fucking nigger apes

how did conan the barbarian and other people who believed the noble savage idea hold both these beliefs at the same time?

Probably better to ask what their views of American Indians were, as their primary encounter with Africans is coloured by the lens, and corruption, of slavery.

You are misrepresenting Howard. I recall two stories with black people in them
>the one where Conan joins the pirate queen who has a crew of black men
Those guys were Conan’s allies and depicted positively
>the one where Conan is in fantasy Africa and saves a white girl from getting raped by a black chieftain
Conan was again allied with some of the black people who helped him massacre the chieftain and his warriors. Yeah, he saved the girl explicitly because he didn’t want a black guy fucking a white girl, but that’s a far cry from viewing Africans as subhuman.

He betrays the chief he swore allegiance to literally saying that promises mean nothing among niggers anyway. That’s a gross betrayal of supposed superior barbarian ethics, which is your word is sacred.

There is an entire story of black cannibals

There's a number of Africa stories. They're a mixed bag. He calls that one shaman his brother I think. It certainly portrays some of them well.

Barbarians are still a step up from primitives, who haven't discovered metallurgy or even invented the wheel.

I mean, folks... where's the lie?

case in point: they will see a perfectly happy couple walking down the street and think to themselves: I can have that bitch and I will. the social contract means nothing to me.

Iremember the one where the black pirates were portrayed as subservian t immoral animal cattle that required Conan to lanch the revolution for them, and afterwards only obeyed him out of clanistic fear of the great man, after he left they continued on in raping and pillaging. THe obne where Conan started off as king of Aquilonia and went on a quest to take down an enemy sorcerer.

>>25158009
That’s fair. I can’t really think of any other time he betrayed an ally that never wronged him first.
>>
>>25158009
The original quote I believe is "promises between a schwarze neger and Schwarzenegger are meaningless anyway".
>>25157880
Maybe you are reading too much into it? They are barbarians. Noble savage doesn't mean he's an egalitarian vegan, he just doesn't give a fuck about these things because he's not tainted by mind viruses that we suffer from.

Conan also didn't fuck black sluts, he was very specific about this.

Living in a state of nature doesn't necessarily translate to crude barbarism born of lower impulses.

Living in nature during an enchanted age when man had the means to understand and participate in its symbolic depth (as in the Garden of Eden) is very different to living like an animal.
