The most embarrassing part of that exchange is believing Spengler
what do any of these words mean
I don't want to go down a white supremacist Google hole, which I fully expect to happen if I just search them blindly
could someone who is a little more online please tell me wtf any of those proper nouns mean?
my best guess on this is that they're substituting "aryan" for turanian to avoid the nazi-coding. Turan is an iranian term for east-of-iran based on a legendary figure. as indo-iranian(aryan) split into iranian and indo-aryan in the general area of Turan i suppose the nazis probably think there was a central-asian atlantis of white people over there or something
the other two terms first results are from conan the barbarian lmao
thank you, that was sadly illuminating
seems like all the weird, vaguely shitty dudes I knew in my 20s all somehow banded together to form an openly shitty, truly reprehensible club
i'm probably giving them too much credit based on the conan references in the other terms, lol. a guy makes some dumb books that reference quack historiography and a few decades later a handful of nazis think its gospel lmao
I recognize some from Robert E. Howard's Conan stories. He drew inspiration for the fictional setting from the popular pseudo-history of the antediluvian world (before the biblical flood) which included ideas about Atlantis with helping of race science.
I'm guessing white supremacist are taking long forgotten fake history from like the 20's at face value
Between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis and the rise of the sons of Arius, there was an age undreamed of. Unto this Conan, destined to bear the jeweled crown of Aquilonia upon a troubled brow. It is I, his chronicler, who alone can tell you of this saga. Let me tell you of the days of high adventure
Were they sunk due to a deal with the devil? What the fuck is a "Faustian"?
It means they came from Alberta
Which as we know has a longstanding partnership with the Christian devil
they were sunk because white people couldn't swim
Yakub updated them later
