Where do the fine people of Great Britain rank? Surely above Nordics

>be great Nordid Indo-European Aryan race
>invent a fucking cheese slicer
T-thanks.

Well Caesar thought while Celts could be assimilated into Med society (which they were, see Gaul and Galatia for example) the Germanic man was hopeless to forever stew in his barbarity. Since England and Wales was and is Celtic, along with being Romanized for a long time as Roman Briton, they rank higher than Nordics.

Those weren't Greeks but assimilated locals, explaining their lack of Indo-European blood.
Greece and Rome were both Indo-European civilizations, and modern Northern Europeans have the most Indo-European blood.
Nice strawmen, retard.

Proof that the mongrel race is in fact the master race

Uneducated Nordicist trash. Minoans, Fertile Crescent, Etruscans were pre-IE. And they were foundation for such great cultures as Greek and Roman one.
Scandinavians contributed to the world less than even slavshits.

I think Germans and Dutch get a lot of stick on here, mostly it's Scandinavians and Baltics who deserve to be mocked for their WUZ antics

>Minoans, Fertile Crescent, Etruscans were pre-IE. And they were foundation for such great cultures as Greek and Roman one.
So you say, yet it was the Indo-Europeans who came up on top.

Germans and Anglos were the biggest wewuzzers.

t.hans

On top of what? You trying to tie Indo-Europeans with modern Scandinavians is pure retardation. Scandinavians didn't contribute to anything.

Balts and Scandinavians have every right to be proud of their Indo-European heritage.

Indo-Europeans prevailed, all the others perished.
>You trying to tie Indo-Europeans with modern Scandinavians is pure retardation
Scandinavians and Northern Europeans in general have the most Indo-European blood, therefore they have the most claim to them.

>Germans and Anglos were the biggest wewuzzers
I wouldn't say either were, what I do know is that both (especially Britain) were hugely inspired in the creation of their empires - and the manner in which they amassed and then ruled them - by Rome
I've never met a single German or Briton who tried to take credit for the Roman Empire (though it's worth remembering both Germany and Britain were Roman provinces, at least in large part)

It's mainly Nordics who WUZ because they've got fairly bland histories and haven't done much

>most claim
What does that even mean?

But it was Germans that were the most loud about their Nordic bullshit.

Yeah I've never understood that
When you have a fascinating history, including actual ties to the Roman Empire, and an immeasurable canon of great art, literature and music, why would you go full-on Varg and LARP as some wood-dwelling Scandinavian faggot?

...

Is that an Eurovision contest you dumb subhuman pile of shit? According to your logic, Finns are the most Indo-European people genetically, yet what is their contribution to the world besides being a fucktoy of Sweden and Russia, that in turn sold them on Crimean slave markets to be fucked by Turks and Arabs?

What did Scandinavians contribute to the world? Nothing, absolutely fucking nothing. What about Balts? Ruled by Germans and Slavs for majority of their patethic history. Who dominated European culture and non-European continents if not "dilluted" shitskins according to you? Protip: Portugese, Spaniards, Italians, Greeks, British, French and even fucking potatofaced Slavs contributed more to the world than some Scandinavian snownigger trash.

Scandinavians are fucking patethic, irrelevant and useless trash.

How the fuck are Anglos we wuzzers?

He probably meant the Teutonic racial theory. Very popular during XIX-XX century. It was pushed mostly by Germans to remove Slavs from history and justify their genocidal ambitions, but it also found its supporters among Anglo elite that hated the Irish with passion.

kek'd heartly

/int/ shitposters should be permabanned

lmaoing @ all these coping m*Doids
literally every civilization was NORDIC

Scandinavian contribution to the world: 0

the romans were NORDIC and so were the greeks

There is no evidence for it. Meanwhile, see SUBHUMANS

That wounldn´t make their contributions SCANDINAVIAN.

You suck at your own game.

plenty of evidence, you just gotta look
behind every civilization, there is a NORDIC man, like augustus or jesus

>Scandinavians contributed to the world less than even slavshits.
I dislike this trend of "either-or". The fact is that, the scandinavian peoples have consistently punched above their weigth, considering they're low population countries with really shit climates and geography. Does this diminish the mediterranean or enable some nordicist narrative? No! Certainly not, especially as one would find it difficult in reality to argue that the classical nordic, long-skulled element is the truly exceptional one.

im here for the menes

Jesus dude.. Hey I mean at least they're easy on the eyes..

but thats not a meme at all

Finns and Balts were ruled by other predominantly Indo-European peoples. Also Scandinavians have accomplished more than any other people who dwell that far North.
>Portugese, Spaniards, Italians, Greeks, British, French
Rank those by how much Indo-European blood each has and you'll see a pattern.

I see a pattern of you being a retarded idiot.

Not an argument, of those empires the most incompetent ones were the most mongrelized.

You're a Polish retard shilling for pseudo-scientific pan-germanistic theories of XIX century.

You're the definitione of a subhuman.

t. butthurt m*Doid subhuman

t. słowiański robal szilujący dla swoich germańskich panów

Why do you hate your Indo-European brethren? Poles too are primarily of Indo-European extraction, stop shilling for m*Doid subhumans.

Kys subhuman whiteoid, your disgraced race will be extinguished in a few short fecades

Seriously though, what have Scandinavians actually contributed to the world other than IKEA and LEGO? Why would anyone even think that they are superior to Mediterraneans - people who have literally laid the foundations of Western civilization and given us the Renaissance?

t. wh*Teoid g*Rmanoid subhuman

we poLes are the true aRyans. scandinavians are subhuman trash that needs to be eradicated

subhuman m*Doids will pay for their appropriation of Indo-European civilizations
Farmers didn't create Rome and Greece, Indo-Europeans did.

Fuck off D&C m*Doid shill

neolithic manlets just jealous of the indo-european ARYAN

I'm not a big fan of Germany, but you're selling them a bit short. Yeah, they've been a political and human rights disaster multiple times, but they've also contributed some of the world's finest mathematicians, scientists, and musicians. And, since WW2, they seem to have significantly improved in the political department.

>they seem to have significantly improved in the political department.
No they haven't.

Are you seriously going to try to argue that modern Germany is not politically better than Imperial Germany and Nazi Germany?

>Indo-Europeans invade South Europe
>they soon assimilate and continue great traditions of Mediterranean pre-IE civilizations (Minoan, Etruscan, Hatti)

>The complex of Newgrange was originally built between c. 3200 and 3100 BC.[17] According to carbon-14 dates,[18] it is about five hundred years older than the current form of Stonehenge, and the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, as well as predating the Mycenaean culture of ancient Greece.[19]

> In the Late Neolithic, it appears that Newgrange itself was no longer being used by the local population, who did not leave any artefacts in the passage tomb or bury their dead there. As the archaeologist Michael O'Kelly stated, "by 2000 [BC] Newgrange was in decay and squatters were living around its collapsing edge".[30] These people were adherents of the Beaker culture, which had been imported from mainland Europe, and made Beaker-style pottery locally.
le master race face

When you look at Germanic nations now, and how they’re imploding from within for no real reason. (le let all the brownskins for no reason XDD) are you really surprised? Clearly they lack enogu harmony to maintain civilization without shooting themselves in the foot.

>>they soon assimilate
The locals assimilated to Indo-European culture and not the other way around, explaining their Indo-European language and customs.

No? They only thing the gave the Pre-Indo European groups was language? Otherwise you'd imagine the rest of Europe would have similar showings.

>how they’re imploding from within for no real reason. (le let all the brownskins for no reason XDD)
t. got all your knowledge of Europe from /pol/ memes

Nope. Mycenaeans clearly copied Minoans, same with Romans and Etruscans. Yes, some things changed, but they were heavily influenced by those cultures. It's also possible that the elites (or priests) used those older languages. You know, this is what happened with Roman Europe after the Germanic invasion.

I'm probably taller than you, stupid wewuzzing slav

What would be the point of just adopting their language, especially if the Indo-European conquerors weren't as populous?
>You know, this is what happened with Roman Europe after the Germanic invasion
Except that Romans didn't drop their language for them, the elite might've but the commoners didn't.

Lol yeah sure

Problem is that the locals were the civilized ones and IE subhumans were semi nomadic savages with literally zero culture

Common Romans spoke Vulgar Latin, with naturally evolved into Romance dialects. Church Latin is different.

Indo-Europeans had to have some culture if they possessed tech other societies didn't. You don't just stumble upon the chariot.

>Indo-Europeans had to have some culture if they possessed tech other societies didn't.

They didn't

>chariot

It's a savage "technology" that was dropped after horses became big enough

Yeah so do Negroes and Abos

Wrong, Indo-Europeans had a pretty complex and rich religion for instance. Not much else is known about them though because they were illiterate, apart from the fact that they were very militaristic and warlike.

...

*early Indo-Europeans

Illiterate, semi nomadics who loccasionally settled in small villages of a handful of huts each, left behind next to no works of art asides for a few trinkets, no monuments, no infrastructures. What an incredible culture, even the Zulu culture was more developed

how come the locals came to speak an indo-european language, then
raised a great point

The Etruscans, Iberians, Sicani, Sardinians, Raeti and Turdetani all spoke non Indoeuropean language before Roman conquest, the Romans were not PIE but heavily mixed farmer/steppe mongrels

Same reason much of MENA came to speak Arabic?

>mongrels
opinion trashed. Everyone is a "mongrel" at some point.

>the scandinavian peoples have consistently punched above their weigth

>attack defenseless farmers and literal pacifists
>punching above our weight :^)

The Nordic peoples have always been a race similar to the Slavs in warfare in that they aim to overwhelm with numbers.
They are not renowned for their heroes, tactics, or martial prowess but by the number of warriors they can field at an instant.

>The Nordic peoples have always been a race similar to the Slavs in warfare in that they aim to overwhelm with numbers.
delet this

we poLish and czEch warriors often fought against greater numbers and won

>Also Scandinavians have accomplished more than any other people who dwell that far North.
Russians have done more.
The majority of Scandis dwell along the Southern Coasts of Sweden and Norway, with a few sparse yet somewhat dense population centers in Western Norway.
They are not actually that far north.

You ignored my inquiry.
That's not comparable since Arabs were far greater in numbers than the peoples they invaded and for the most part displaced them (as proven by genetics), pre-IE Southern Europeans were obviously more populous than the invading Indo-Europeans.

>and for the most part displaced them (as proven by genetics)

Lol what?

That's completely false

>, pre-IE Southern Europeans were obviously more populous than the invading Indo-Europeans.

That's why they still spoke their languages well into the Roman age

Russia was founded by Scandinavians, and they didn't do much in comparison to Scandinavians prior to Muscovy (which is far south from Novgorod).

Do Scandinavians really do this? German and British we wuzzery caused genuine damage to academic thought, it was mostly them pushing the "Aryan ruling class everywhere" meme. It's how we get shit like British Israelism. I don't think Danes, Norwegians, Icelanders, or Swedes ever really bothered.

>That's completely false
No, it isn't.
>That's why they still spoke their languages well into the Roman age
That doesn't matter, every single one of them ultimately adopted an Indo-European language.

>That doesn't matter, every single one of them ultimately adopted an Indo-European language

They were conquered by the Romans who had adopted Etruscan culture sweetie ;)

>No, it isn't.

It is, retard, Tunisians and other NA cluster far away from proper Arabs, same for Syrians or Iraqis

You do realize that 90% of these threads are the entire board yelling at the same two Polish guys.

Sounds like sour grapes from Teutoberg Forest

Meds are just assblasted that Anglii and Saxones now run the planet

>two Polish guys.

No, I'm against that nordicist monkey.

>They were conquered by the Romans who had adopted Etruscan culture sweetie
Why didn't Etruscans expand on their own, then? How did they end up speaking an Indo-European language if their culture was superior?
>Tunisians and other NA cluster far away from proper Arabs, same for Syrians or Iraqis
That's because they raped the locals and also due to genetic drift.

>>Greeks / 1% IE
The original Greeks were fully Indo-European
>>Italians / 10% IE
Original Romans were fully Indo-European, they became more incompetent overtime due to miscegenation paving way for modern Italians and their failed Italian Empire.
>>French / 15% IE
Wrong, even South French are 28% Indo-European.
>>Iberians / 20% IE
They're even less Indo-European than either Italians and Greeks, explaining how they're more incompetent.
>>British / 30% IE
Wrong, 40% to 50%, and their empire was the most successful.

He's not Polish. He's a fifth column monkey. Don't insult the Poles, no fucking Polack would shill for g*Rmanoid subhumans.

Not an argument.
