Well people before civilisation certainly did not get to read great works of literature, which is what this board is about (not, might I add, spotting brainlets).

Politics is literally the only thing on earth that matters though.

Why?

Unless you're IN politics, you influence nothing. Who cares which man or which party your vote goes towards, they will do what they will not what you will.

They certainly got to hear beautiful poems straight from the bard's mouth.

Notice in the picture how people before civilization were malnourished, covered in excrement, had no art or creativity, and spent their entire day foraging berries while losing consciousness in the process due to starvation.

Oh shit, you mean shit can happen in civilization too? Amazing!

The technological and artistic prowess of germanic and gaulish tribes cannot be accomplished in an enviroment in which you "fight for your life to death" each 30 minutes. In fact, their prowess means they had their basic necessities covered and had spare time to care for those things, just like you are shitposting here.

Their were probably on the same level as roman poets, sadly they had an oral culture and saw writing as decadent, like certain civilized greeks.

War between tribes was extremely rare. In fact there was no time as peaceful in human history as the pre-agricultural age. We have tons of anthropological evidence to support this. Humans lived in nomadic tribes literally in the garden of Eden for tens of thousands of years, and only when they settled did warfare explode as resources started to be contested.

Oh wow you are genuinely sub 80 IQ aren’t you? You took my olympics analogy which was making a point about literature and proceeded to argue against it as if I was praising the olympics or some shit.
Also you say “oh yeah uncivilised bards were as great as the roman poets but I can’t prove this because none of their work has survived and we know absolutely nothing about them”. Then how do you know they were as good you retard?

Anyway, we know what sort of mythology these savage bards preached. Supernatural, scary, inhuman gods were waiting for you in the woods and would destroy you if you didn’t sacrifice your child to them. Not something I’d want to be a part of.

Same race, thus same IQ, seeing the artifacts left behind.

If you had IQ above room temperature you would be able to connect the dots.

Oh alright, so you don't know anything about what you're talking about, got it.

In fact, I'd like you to stay ignorant. You win, there's no need to research anything. They ate children and fucked dogs, after cutting their firstborn limbs with machetes like africans. You got me!

KEK. They were illiterates who would believe anything. They unironically believed half horse half human gods were running around in the woods and must be appeased by human sacrifice.

Are you denying the existence of human and animal sacrifice in savage cultures? Are you denying the FACT that they believed in these evil mythological beings which had to be appeased by throwing your baby into a fire or slitting someone’s throat open?

I don't know what you mean, but yes, same race, same racial stock, indo-europeans, same as romans and greeks, White.
>no. Not at all. Flynn effect.
Are you aware that the barbarian diet (heavy on meat and dairy) was much better than the roman diet (mostly grain based) and this is the main cause of romans being shorter in height than germanic tribes or nomadic scythians? Are you aware that the enviroment in a tribe is much less stressful than in a busy roman city?

So better nutrition, better enviroment...

Who would the Flynn effect benefit here?

>Are you denying the existence of human and animal sacrifice in savage cultures?
I could give less of a fuck about savage cultures, I'm talking about EUROPEANS, WHITE PEOPLE.

I couldn't give less of a shit about some mesoamerican sacrificing kids.

>Are you denying the FACT that they believed in these evil mythological beings which had to be appeased by throwing your baby into a fire or slitting someone’s throat open?
See above. You won't find anything similar in european paganism.

I'm supposed to defend what low iq inferior races did in their beliefs? Fuck you.

That's selective arguing, there might have been much more peaceful tribes with kind gods that they lived in harmony with, not having to sacrifice children. There's a plethora of possibilities in the past, however now we know exactly what going on and it's not good.

if anything, this ensured they wouldn't see old age. milk is even worse, it can potentially mess up your whole hormonal system from early years. haven't you heard that scythians were the real proto-trannies? they drank so much milk that their men were dressing as women and the women were fighting on horseback https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22332473 . so keep drinking that milk and you'll get your share of estrogen and prostate cancer
secondly, do you actually think that the pagans were just LARPing and did not believe that Odin, Thor and all of that mumbo jumbo were real?

Unless you are actually enacting any sort of concrete meaningful change politics is one of the least important things you could use your limited time and thought processes on. If you want to participate in politics get off 4chan and go volunteer and help out your local community where you could actually make a difference. Politics discussion on the internet mostly amounts to ignorant narcissists engaging in pointless mental masturbation.

Dairy has been a staple on European peoples since forever, and they've been the most manly and warlike.

And what do you know, since the advent of onions-based foods and things like "veganism" we reached a new low on testosterone levels never seen before, so much the medical community had to redefine what normal levels are setting the bar lower.

>if anything, this ensured they wouldn't see old age

Can't remember. It's not even a study, it's a hippocratic text, it even says the title right there 'On the winds, waters and places'. Milk is a well-known hormonal disruptor, there's not even a debate about it. It has precisely the hormonal/nutritional profile of a food needed for the growth and development of a calf.

vegans, on average, have more total testosterone than both meat-eaters and vegetarians, even after adjusting for BMI. the form of testosterone that matters - free testosterone - is roughly the same (no statistically significant difference) for the 3 groups

and btw there is not even a single study showing that any soi food decreases testosterone/increases estrogen. merely one case report of a young male with type 1 diabetes who for some reason was consuming over half of his CALORIES from isolated onions protein, and he was observed with gyno, infertility of some shit.

[Anonymous No.13883528]

>>13883467
to reformulate: normal amounts of soi foods from a nutritionally complete diet doesn't cause hormonal disruption in humans. over 50% coming for ISP is very extreme (I think it might've been more than that, you can search the study yourself). phytohormones act on different hormonal receptors compared to mammal hormones (there's no estrogen in soi, but there most definitely is estrogen in milk).
all of the antinutrients/phytohormones that anti-vegan knuckleheads bring up actually have positive impacts on the human body: phytates are associated with better bone mineral density; phytates also increase the activity of natural-killer cells (cells that fight cancer); the lectins that are left undestroyed by cooking are anti-cancerous and antioxidant; lignans are anti-cancer and so on. anything that's anti-cancer is essentially anti-inflammatory, when it comes to plant foods. a completely plant-based, relatively low-fat diet is literally the only diet that reverses/stops heart disase (success rate is like 98% if I recall, based on Esselstyn's research )

No it is not. Politics is pure theatre.
A ruling class backs both the leader and the opposition. There is a revolving door between regulatory bodies, political appointments and management/consultant jobs in Big Business.

Politics is fucking stupid and a waste of time unless you are an ambitious psychopath or already a member of some old money, hidden wealth family.

Everything on the 'news' is simply a way to get people riled up for clicks so they can sell you shit, or propaganda to justify taxing you into poverty.
