that is just not true, and I'm disappointed that someone could spread such falsehoods without regards to history at all

the Nordic Bronze age was comparatively advanced
people lived in houses, had farming, and advanced bronze/metal working
people were clothed and shod and lived their lives

the idea that Germanic peoples were just savages is ahistorical and mindboggingly wrong
the anti-German sentiment on this board is reaching silly levels

Same in West Africa. Not good enough my friend
>>
>>2590158
you're changing the goal post
you said they were living at the level of simple African tribes
which implies straw/mud huts of hunter-gatherers with bones in their noses

Even Africans had iron working by this point LMAO

>the idea that Germanic peoples were just savages is ahistorical and mindboggingly wrong
Unlike in China, Middle East, or Mediterranean, we're not seeing any great cities and settlments over in Germanic territory.

Hell or in Western-Northwestern Europe. The only thing that comes close to civilization there are continental Celts.
>>
>>2590193
that's because the civilization that exists in north-western europe is a product of the fertile crescent for the most part
it migrated north-westward with the technologiees of animal husbandry and farming

you mistake me for some euro-centrist, I think

I am only trying to refute the idea that the Germanic peoples were on the level of mud/straw hut hunter-gatherers
I am not saying that were the torchbearers of civilization

They finally provoked an enemy they couldn't defeat and, after countless deaths, surrendered to the Allies and were rebuilt over roughly half a century into something greater.

War and migrations, and trade with the romans. They began to serve in the roman army as auxillaries and some tribes allied with rome. By the time of the sacking of rome pretty much the entire roman army was german. And the southern germanic settlements were heavily influenced by roman culture very early on.

A solid demarcation between germanic and roman society isn't entirely accurate, there was flow and overlap between the two. The romans influenced the germans in civilisation, the germans influenced the romans in fashion, customs and lifestyle.

Originally germanic people lived in egalitarian societies where the basic unit of society was the clan (not the tribe). They believed in distributing all the land and possesions of the clan equally among the families. The clans were divided up into smaller extended families who lived on their own farmsteads a distance away from one and other, rather then villages in the traditional sense.

Then the chieftans became more central in germanic society and they became more materialistic and started to structure leadership heirarchies based on roman leadership hierarchies. They copied the romans by waging their own campaigns. The tribe became more import then the clan. By the time of the migration era there were bigger units of society then single tribes. The visigoths, suebi etc were technically not tribes, but tribal confederations or nations.

define pure germanic

so what? Also I'm pretty sure sub-saharan africans didn't have agriculture or the wheel

All those regions I mentioned are less than 50% Germanic. Hell, just look at how Anglos look on average. It's obvious they're not fully Germanic. Most studies put them around 30% Germanic only.

only american muh heritage fags think of british people as germanic. You also didn't define pure germanic. How do you define who is and isn't germanic? apart from language, nationality and culture

Phenotypes and genetics. Austrians are too mixed with Celts, Italians and Slavs, therefore they're not as Germanic as Scandinavians. Even if we go by language only Anglos are still mongrels though, because their language has strong French and Latin influences

Peter Frost and hbdchick write about it. I personally am a fan of his eugenics theory.

1). Thousands of years of cold climate living. This selected for pro-civilizational traits (ie: future-time orientation).

2). Christianity dissolving germanic tribal ties.

3). "The War on Murder" as Frost puts it throughout the Middle Ages was a process of genetic pacification in Europe. The Church inflicted relentless death penalties for violent males effectively weeded them out of the gene pool. Even the ones that weren't executed had limited chance for social improvement and reproduction. The violent male went from hero to zero.

>The last millennium has seen three overlapping trends in Western societies with respect to unlawful violence.

>The first one began in the 12th century with the rise of strong States and a growing determination, with the consent of the Church, to punish the “wicked” so that the “good” may live in peace. By the late Middle Ages, the courts were condemning to death between 0.5 and 1.0 % of all men of each generation, with an equal number dying while awaiting trial. There was correspondingly a shift in the cultural environment. The violent male went from hero to zero; even if he didn’t pay the ultimate penalty, his opportunities for social advancement were now much more constrained.

>The second trend was a steady drop in the homicide rate throughout most of Western Europe. In England, this rate fell by over a hundred-fold between the 12th and 19th centuries (Eisner, 2001).

The meds started civilization but they still weren't pacified enough to keep it going. Perhaps they left the cold too early. Even today, Greeks and Italians are so argumentative and loud like blacks.
>>
>>2592349
>And so began the war on murder. From the 12th to 17th centuries, capital punishment became steadily more prevalent. We see this in an increasing willingness to use it not only for murder but also for other crimes (rape, abortion, infanticide, lèse majesté, theft, counterfeiting, etc.). We also see this in the use of ‘exemplary’ punishment: drawing and quartering, breaking on the wheel, and burning. Beginning in the 13th and 14th centuries, we see cases of a murderer being buried alive in a casket placed underneath the victim’s casket (Carbasse, 2011, p. 53).

>Then, after the 17th century, the war on murder began to go into reverse. It had been largely won, and public sympathy now shifted to the condemned man. In England, the homicide rate fell by over a hundred-fold between 1300 and 1900 (Eisner, 2001). Europeans were becoming kinder and gentler, and this pacification of social relations would make possible much of what we call modernity: the expansion of the market economy; a growing freedom to live among total strangers; the rise of the individual as an autonomous, self-maximizing being, and so on.

Anglo-Saxons are the underclass of England serving their Norman masters. English culture is in every one of its positive aspects essentially French.

>>2592419
Normans were literally Scandinavian

>>2592423
Normans were literally Norman.

Actually not even, a large portion of them came from other parts of France, and are only collectively referred to as Norman for the sake of convenience (although only recent years, in England they were originally referred to simply and logically as French).
