>>50632740No, I didn't call you a Nazi but you're posting a literal Nazi talking point and one that's been adopted by white supremacists. This thread is already inane enough with all the unchecked bigotry and you decided to add even more inanity to the pile.
Those points mean nothing because blood is, well, just blood. Culture is not carried in blood, national identity is not carried in blood. All that insanity is a construct, a spook. It is nastiness that arose from colonialism and all the evils it brought, it is built upon the sin of slavery and the construction of race.
Indeed I brought up examples on an area I'm familiar with. It's all a construct, the Greeks constructed their cultural identity out of an epic, a myth and the baggage that came with it was ever changing. It's an identity that started to solidified around the end of the Greco-Persian Wars, given the coalition of Greek states that stood against Persia a united identity as well as a major "other". But as I alluded earlier what is and isn't Greek was constantly chaning, for example Thukydides in the 5th century BC refers to the Aetolians as barbarians but Strabo in the 1st century AD refers to them as Hellenes. For Thukydides the fact that the Aetolians carried weapons in open spaces put them strictly in the barbarian camp, never mind the fact that they spoke Greek but it seems perception of them had changed by Strabo's time. Of course there's also the famous Argeads of Makedon and their mythological connection to Herakles which was their claim to Greekness.
But a more recent example would be the concept of "whiteness" in the United States and how that is constantly ever changing. There's propaganda in the 19th and 20th century portraying established "western", which is more or less code for "civilized" for the modern era, and people considered very white today as lesser people beneath proper Anglo-Saxons. I'd could recommend books if you'd like.
