Fuck you, I'll cry as much as I want. German culture is based, and it could've been the global hegemony if it wasn't for fucking England.

>The Rus'–Byzantine Treaties give a valuable insight into the names of the Rus'. Of the fourteen Rus' signatories to the Rus'–Byzantine Treaty in 907, all had Norse names

I'd be cautious about assigning too much importance to this piece of evidence. As the emergence of the Rurikid dynasty in Kiev and Novgorod shows, it was common for Varangians to assume positions of power over settlements that predated their arrival, most likely by strength of arms that the local merchants and tribesmen did not possess. The names of the signatories would have likely been princes and magistrates, and not necessarily representative of the host as a whole.

The Rus would have been composed of a confederation of the major city states at the time, including the aforementioned Kiev and Novgorod. These city states began as trading settlements between the competing regional tribes, quite possibly established as localized markets by Khazars. Consequently, the people there would have been Balto-Slavic, Finnic, and even Turkic if you went back far enough.

As you mention, the Nordic population would also have have been observable following the creation of trade routes between the Varangians and Byzantines - but the cities the Scandinavian princes would come to rule were already there and fully populated. To answer your question about the raiders the Byzantines referred to as the Rus, some undoubtedly would have been Scandinavian - but it's also quite probable that anywhere from a significant minority to a strict majority would have been locally-sourced Slavs serving foreign masters.

Swedish wasn't a thing back then but generally they were scandi rulers that live in their forts and treated the native slavs little more than cattle to be exploited for resources.
That being said, the quickly assimilated into the slavic culture and allowed slavs to join their group.
It was a smart strategic move that ensure their rule over the land for the future centuries because the slavs were much more numerous than them and would eventually just figure our the scam with killing their norse leaders.

I only know the Chinese reason: they don't produce the shit they sell. Ergo they're lower than the people who actually produce the goods. Furthermore they were seen as benefitting off the work of others.

Despite their low status in the Confucian social order, they did have a lot of de facto influence and it was still considered a desirable way of living, particularly by city dwellers. In addition, rural villages - who in China were often all related, clan villages- often sent a member of their village to be a merchant in the city, and basically have him represent their interests in the merchantile scene.

>>2474297
Greeks had the same sentiments.
>While peasants and artisans often sold their own wares, there were also retail merchants known as kápêloi (kάπηλοι). Grouped into guilds, they sold fish, olive oil, and vegetables. Women sold perfume or ribbons. Merchants were required to pay a fee for their space in the marketplace. They were viewed poorly by the general population, and Aristotle labeled their activities as: "a kind of exchange which is justly censured, for it is unnatural, and a mode by which men gain from one another."[3]

Merchants are also known for their immorality when they do anything to get their sale.

Like the famous Chinese fable about a merchant who is selling both an unbreakable shield and a spear that can pierce any shield

Why? After you started two world wars you should be happy that Germany exists at all.

God is the creator of time, space and matter.

Let A be a set containing the infinite mix of psychologies, intentionalities, and mechanics that could govern universal and trans-dimensional beings.

Now derive a judeo-christian God that is the truth and the way.

Russia and Austria disrespected the TURKS and made a crucial mistake of creating more independent slav polities.

Give it all back to the turks along with the Arab World, I say.

it is suspect to demand adherence to "authentic" spirituality on a societal level not simply because of avoiding unintended consequences but for the detail that such authentic spirituality is only achieved when the "germination" of that spirituality is personal. It has to be personal because otherwise it isn't true.

What is his argument exactly?

>>2473276
He's almost 100% right, but the real origin of this modernist capitalist garbage is England, not America. America merely adopted it.

Because realism takes skill.

No. His complaints against Catholicism are valid. Granted, 99% of Christians are awful Christians with no idea about their scripture or history and believe in crappy apologetics, but Protestantism is closer to Christianity than Catholicism is with all the shit they did, on top of all the pagan influences co-opted into the religion to make converting people easier.

It may be an overused meme, but Catholics are barely Christian outside of paying lip service to Christ.
