One Autumn day, God created the northern climate folk from the snow on the tundra, instead of perfectly good clay.
Greeks & Romans aren’t white
The Nazis considered them to be "Alpine" or "Mediterranean"
They know that Benito Mussolini is constructing a colossal empire which will put the Roman Empire in the shade. We shall put up ... for his victories. Mussolini is a typical representative of our Alpine race...

Scandinavian people ate mostly fish hope you like marinated herring. In Germany too they had the Bismarck herring.
It's pretty good. There's a reason Kippers (smoked Herring) became a british breakfast staple.
Kippers for breakfast? Is it Saint Swithin's day already?
Kippers rule. I was turned off by the look and initial fishy smell when opening a can, but get past that and it turns out they're delicious
pickled herring in sour cream with onions is the bomb put that shit all up on a bagel
It's fine fried, delicious when pickled and pretty bland when fermented if you can work your way through the awful smell and actually eat it.
Pickled herring is sweet and vinegary but also fishy. The herring is a fat fish which goes well with the acidity of the vinegar.
Pickled herring is not fermented and stinky in the same way Swedish surströmning is. You can smell the fish but not in an overpowering way.
Pickled herring are made in several styles, the most common being "white herring" which is pickled with peppercorns and onions and "red herring" pickled with mace and other spices. Herring pickled in a curry dressing are also popular. Sometimes you also get herring that has been fried before being picked.
It is normally eaten on black whole grain sourdough rye bread. Often it is topped with onions and capers or a mayonnaise-based curry salad.
On festive occasions it is common to "give the herring something to swim in" and drink (many) shots of cold caraway aquavit with your herring.
I visited Sweden once, and coming from Chicago (as an unironic Malort stan) I fell immediately in love with herring and aquavit.
aquavit is delicious
aquavit is like if gin had a cool older brother that would buy you bottles of aquavit
The Norwegian Linie Aquavit is a good brand dill and caraway liquor that's crossed the tropics so many times

very nice

Its fishy. Slightly more than sardines I guess the marinated ones are good with raw onions and crackers or a hearty bread. What's tree-felling mean?
they LITERALLY do, they LITERALLY do
there's a screencap from /pol/ where one of them is trying to explain it so some baby leftist and he's like, "think of it like humans vs orcs"
It doesn't help how a lot of fantasy settings are written by white nerds who "subconsciously" like to code non-human races with real life racial tropes (Just look at Warcraft's Trolls and Tauren).
That's my favorite screencap because it so perfectly describes rightoid ideology. It's not even an isolated incident either, it's happened multiple times on /leftypol/ or whatever that some polyp wanders in and starts talking about race like he's describing The Elder Scrolls lore. They actually think like this lmfao
People originating from
cold and harshtemperate climates ate whatever they could get their hands on to keep starvation at bay. Fish was common in Scandinavia as most settlements are very close to the sea. Chicken and beef was rare, chickens were raised for eggs, cattle were raised for millk.Most people ate very little meat as meat was expensive. People also ate milk preserved as either cheese or butter but not as a staple as dairy was also scarce. Most people's diet consisted of rye bread, beer, barley porridge and cabbage. If you were lucky there would be a little bit of salt pork in the pot with the cabbage.
The Sound used to be a rich fishing ground for herring so salt herring was plenty and cheaper than meat.
wow are you saying that medieval germanic people weren't eating factory farmed skirt steak? i dont know if i can believe that.
You're right. It doesn't make sense. How could they be all proud and Germanic if they were eating grain?
animals respawn every 72 hours in Skyrim while there are very few farms :kubrick-stare:
This reply is dumber and sadder than the actual tweet
thank god youre back mate. great posting.
Spaniards aren't even that fucking white though, I was looking at photos on Google inside a McDonalds in Murcia and I was like "WTF what's with all the Mexicans" because I forgot I wasn't in Madrid
also gotta love the (FROM SPAIN) he throws in to signal that he’s not cooking brown-skinned South American dishes
Lol he also calls it a Spanish dish in the tweet too. Dude knows his audience and he thinks they're dumbasses - it's amazing how conservatives have as much contempt for each other as libs do.
Meat would mostly have come from sheep and it would have been highly seasonal.
Lies! My honorable ancestors only consumed the finest Paleo diet of meat and nuts
I also remember seeing something about medieval european people eating river caught fish. Chuds and not knowing history, iconic duo yada yada.
Most people ate very little meat as meat was expensive.
Depends on the area. Inuit ate tons of meat.
You're right about the Inuit having a very different diet than northern Europe but I don't think they are the genetically superior ancestors of white people the guy from OP identifies with.
I thought dairy was more common, but I am not too familiar with the scandinavian diet.
Opiate of the masses and whatnot. When all of the underpinnings of your social structure are being ripped away its not unthinkable to fall back on or cling to religeous faith.
I don't mean this as edgy atheism or anything but I feel like a similar thing is going on with Qanon and the religeous right currently.
It could be that that nonsense was actively suppressed during better times and that with the collapse, old evils re-emerged. But I'm 100% speculating.
Don't these guys follow their own lore? They love to believe that "Western Civilization" was founded in ancient Greece- well guess what? Those city-states could only exist because they could rely on vast networks of granaries to feed their growing populations. Even their beloved Spartans mostly ate grains.
Don’t these guys follow their own lore?
no they can't read.
With regards to the harsh northern climates thing, isn't the African savannah fucking WORSE? You have to contend with drought wiping out your civilization every few decades or so. These motherfuckers act like Germany/Europe in general was just Snowpiercer or something, WTF
I may be misinformed but I'm under the impression that Europe, sans like Finland and Norway more or less have pretty mild climates compared to like, Kansas or the goddamned Sahara desert
europe faces no severe winters or harsh summers, doesn't really get hurricanes or that many droughts, and does not have a section called "tornado alley" because they don't get tornadoes.
It actually blew my mind when I learned that europe doesn't have tornadoes. Hiding in the basement an hour a week was just a fact of life when I was a kid.
we do have them sometimes... but also stone buildings ...

yeah. They straight up have no idea what it's like when the sky just wants you dead.
europe faces no severe winters
Yes, if you exclude Northern Europe, part of which is in the arctic circle...
The tornado part is mostly true however.
Excluding Russia because they aren't always white, you'd be working with Norway, Sweden, Finland, and iceland. Considering some of those countries are a rounding error away from not existing, I don;t think they have a massive enough impact on the general european perception of winter. I could be wrong, so please correct me if I am.
you’d be working with Norway, Sweden, Finland, and iceland.
No, you'd also be working with Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Belarus, Germany, Denmark, Switzerland, Poland, Austria, Hungary, Czechia and more that I don't even care to name right now, all of which have numerous places which get as cold or much, much colder than Beijing. Hell, fucking Greece which is pretty much the warmest country in Europe has places which got almost as cold as the coldest it's even been in Beijing.
EDIT: Hell, even Ljubljana which is a major city and qualifies as southern Europe has gotten to -25.4C, which is significantly colder than the coldest it's ever been in Beijing. Same with Sarajevo and Zagreb.
EDIT 2: Ptolemaida which is in Greece (pretty much the warmest country in Europe) has gotten to -28C which is far colder than it has ever been in Beijing.
EDIT 3: LOL I confused you with the guy saying no place in Europe gets colder than Beijing. Regardless, here is a climate map of Europe: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d5/Koppen-Geiger_Map_Europe_present.svg
Only southern Europe and the side facing the Atlantic don't face severe winters.

this guy spends hours a day saying and retweeting the most freakish, white suburbanite thoughts i've ever seen.

hmm, i wonder if this white supremacy guy has any hangups about jewish people :thonk:
He loves Israel, because it's the perfect place to keep 'em before we nuke 'em.
Everytime I look at stuff like this I'm in legit awe of how absolutely vacuous and brain dead the right wing is in modernity. There's just nothing there to wrestle with intellectually. At least Evola or Gentile could bloviate and appear to have some substance, but this account is just the epistemic equivalent of a chimpanzee flinging shit at their enemies
this was a retweet, but he loves talking about babies and women like this regardless. huge pregnancy fetish guy
Wow I didn't even have to scroll to see Holocaust denial and blatant anti-semitism.
Someone should tell him that that's not gonna save the ham sandwich race
This is kinda part of the plot from the current incarnation of American Horror Story
