Yes. There are people on /pol/ (back when I'd been a bit more edgy and had a bit more acne I browsed that a fuck ton so I know these weren't bait) who genuinely believed Qin Shi Huang was a lost Roman explorer, that 'ancient India' was ruled by whites who were driven out by the Dravidians and that the Japanese are overtanned Caucasians

>>1464005
>inflation and stagnating economic growth
In the US we call that stagflation.

>>1464005
I thought India was doing well economically and is stable under Modi because everyone's generally on board with him. What's going on with inflation? Wasn't 2015 India's year of greatest proportionate financial growth in a decade?

>>1463962
Russians claiming to be vikings, Brits claiming to be germanic

>>1464086
a lot of that was built up over the last 10 years of congress rule. The economic vitals are stable, but modi has not delivered in most cases. After the first 2 years of a government's 5 year term, India always goes to permanent election mode because different states have different elections.

Inflation would be vastly reduced for essential foodstuffs in india because we are a net exporter of food, but the government distribution system is in shambles. The previous congress government was taking steps to do rectify that with private investment, but this riled up the traditional voters of the BJP who profit the most from the fucked up supply chain.

Ever since modi has come to power, inflation refuses to come down, absence of actual reforms makes the rupee weaker on the international market, and india's growth is showing discrepancies especially in tax returns to the government.

basically, modi is running India like a convenience store (lel) and we are going to get fucked hard in the ass when that happens.

>wasn't 2015
it was largely because the indian government spent a lot less on crude oil because of the low price.

>>1464079

>Would anyone argue that wewuzism is an essential part of nationalism? Origin stories and all that

Certainly. Nationalist ideology can and will be justified by making people believe that their nation is special among others. But since it is easier to make up a glorious past then achieve things in the present, nationalists naturally turn to wewuzism.

No, you see, Mali doesn't count because it didn't develop as it was without contact with other civilizations, unlike European civilizations. Those developed in a vacuum without any impute from the Middle East and totally didn't rip off the Romans who were ripping off the Greeks who hadn't been trading and warring with their neighbors without any sort of exchange of ideas whatsoever.

they do that. People who shit in the streets even get those houses for free, and since a lot of them are prime real estate, they sell those houses as soon as possible and use the money to buy more motorcycles and clothes and smartphones - pretty much everything but a porta-potty.

God can't save this country because people here have decided that everything will happen in due course of time. Might as well keep shitting on the roads until we die and let our kids use the loo.

"I was the archaeologist stationed at Great Zimbabwe. I was told by the then-director of the Museums and Monuments organisation to be extremely careful about talking to the press about the origins of the [Great] Zimbabwe state. I was told that the museum service was in a difficult situation, that the government was pressurising them to withhold the correct information. Censorship of guidebooks, museum displays, school textbooks, radio programmes, newspapers and films was a daily occurrence. Once a member of the Museum Board of Trustees threatened me with losing my job if I said publicly that blacks had built Zimbabwe. He said it was okay to say the yellow people had built it, but I wasn't allowed to mention radio carbon dates... It was the first time since Nazi Germany in the thirties that archaeology has been so directly censored."

Pretty much every European country had a "we wuz romans" movement. Even if they didn't claim to be the direct successors to Rome, every kingdom and nation adopted the trappings of Roman power and prestige. For example, several Anglo-Saxon rulers adopted the style Imperator, despite it having nothing to do with their government structure or culture.

It's because until the rise of nationalism in the later half of 19th century being Finnish was looked down on. Finns would speak Swedish and have Swedish names and state operated solely on Swedish language. So the elite were all Swedish speaking and elites always have easier way to fame.

Franks literally believed they were the descendants of the refujees from Troy.
Medieval British too believed that they were Trojan descendants by the way of an ancestor named Brutus, that they used to hold Norway and Denmark, as well as Gaul and Hispania and even sacked and brought Rometo submission during the height of the empire.

One thing I don't understand about wewuzery is the descendants of FUCKING PEASANTS claiming various kings and emperors and aristocrats as their kin just because they spoke the same language (and sometimes not even that). It completely baffles me, I mean if you actually have traced your ancestry to some of those people then that's good, but otherwise it's objectively laughable. This goes for both Europeans and Africans.

That's different though.

There is a significant mile between an Italian feeling pride towards the Romans and n American of West-African descent feeling pride towards East-Africans, or the Xia dynasty. Europeans don't have wewuzism because unlike black Americans Europeans aren't completely disconnected from their true heritage.

If this is legit, this must be it
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosnian_pyramid_claims
It sounds like some kind of bad joke though. I can't imagine there are Yugos actually believing this shit.

>>1465520
Funny, since most people can trace their ancestry to some noble somewhere.

>>1465508
Then Victorian Age Brits believed they were some lost tribe of Israel.

The absolute worst offenders are "Macedonians" and "Ulstermen".

Macedonians claim the heritage of Alexander despite being turk/bulgar rapebabies

Ulstermen (of the protestant/loyalist camp) claim the heritage of the ancient Gaelic hero Cú Chulainn, who lived more than a thousand years before their ancestors ever even set foot in Ulster.
And some even claim Saint Patrick was a Protestant, even though he lived again about 1000 years before the Reformation.

Exactly. It's the application of modern, 19th-20th century national identity to a time when monarchs ruled a patchwork of territories inhabited by completely different population, and most people cared little about what happened beyond the boundries of their local community.

>>1465852
Except that nationalism is anti-monarchist and not based on monarchy. Nationalism is based on language, culture and ethnicity, not reverence of history. What you are discussing is more akin to patriotism.
