For sure, but asking 'what would have to happen for me to express r defend racist ideas' is an interesting question

Confirmation bias. Viewing individual events out of context but related to the suspicion thus reinforcing it.

At least that's one way.

What is Project Zohar?

I just asked because it was an odd usage of the term "Iron Age". Which was defined by the advent of ferrous metallurgy. I know that a society without iron-working can be much more sophisticated than one with it, Britain around 0 CE to Babylon under Hammurabi for example. I know that Native American civilization made cities with hundreds of thousands of people and all that.

Yes I meant turkic but anyway many people where part of the mongolian empire including those falling outside present day mongolia. Mongolia is not a continuation of the mongolian empire but it did comprise people that were part of it. I ve read some sources stating that he was turkic but the evidence seems shaky at best mostly based on names and language and myths so ill withdraw that assertion

Comparing modern day mongolia is like comparing the holy roman empire to the roman empire, or saying that italy is a continuation of the roman empire. The roman empire did not just comprise of modern day italians neither. In fact the direct successor state that survived the collapse of the western roman empire was mostly greek.

Northwest Coast societies used and worked iron (and copper) extensively, although they didn't possess the technology to smelt it. There is evidence to suggest there was an active iron trade across the Bering Strait, although this hadn't been much studied at the time when I read it (about 10 years back). At the time you could find house sized boulders of nearly pure copper in some parts of British Columbia. Daggers with fifteen to eighteen long blades(if you don't want to call them swords) and lance heads of the same length wrought from copper or iron were common weapons at the time.

No it wasn't. Language does not equal ethnicity or we would all be English. They were Romans, nothing more, nothing less.




I've heard that one before. It is an outcropping of turkish nationalism which has produced such wonderful works of pseudoscience, which all aim to justify that every steppe nation that employed horses was turkic. Really nice methodology behind that too. After all, according to these nationalists, attila was a turk as well.

I do agree that they were roman. Just wanted to draw distinction between them vs other states or empires that went on to claim the land that was where the roman empire originated from and the fact that these people were in fact not roman.

Wait ... are there actually people that claim that the Huns were Turkic?!

This is absurdist. Nations with distinct identities that happen to be under one sovereign state should be dealt with separately. Basques have the right to different laws than Castillians and Aragonese, Bretons deserve different rights and laws than regular Frenchmen; Alsatians actually have them to this day. Law needs to reflect cultural structure, which means it should be radically different for the First Nations. If anything, they have been homogenized too much, and government needs to take more measures to promote their native culture and native systems of managing their own affairs and own development. Culture is a reflection of not merely history but also the ecology of the region you live in, and in a sprawling country stretched across many climatic zones, rigid centralization can be a bad thing. Cultures which reflect thousands of years of memetic adaptation to local ecology are things which should be cherished and promoted, not crushed by an apparent robotic obsession with creating neat, simple, homogeneous states.

Of course and to my knowledge it is still taught in Turkish schools (bTW, they are hardly alone in there, the Bulgarian and Georgian establishment hold similar silly claims).




That depends on the degree of surviving Romans being assimilated there, wouldn't you say? For example, did you know that the Franks and Visigoth administration was essentially filled with Romans due to them understanding the tax system and possessing the necessary skills? The history of the Germanic kingdoms is filled with intermarriages etc so it is very hard to proclaim a nation Roman or not Roman at least during the time period to 600.

I should add though that when neighbours hate each other they often try to claim parts of history for themselves. To this day people in Germany and France squabble whether Corolus Magnus is supposed to be called Charlemagne or Karl der Große, whether he was French or German etc. Opus moderandi for nationalist states seem to be to adhere to a certain origin mythology, oftentimes one of great strife and combat and push that in order to justify current politics. Kinda like "Germans have always rejected the weak decadent west-of-the-rhine-dwellers since the time of Arminius Siegfried".
