    WIKI IS PRETTY ACCURATE ON PIE:

    The following basic traits of the Proto-Indo-Europeans and their environment are widely agreed upon but still hypothetical due to their reconstructed nature:

    – Pastoralism, including domesticated cattle, horses, and dogs

    – Agriculture and cereal cultivation, including technology commonly ascribed to late-Neolithic farming communities, e.g., the plow

    – A climate with winter snow.

    – Transportation by or across water.

    – The solid wheel, used for wagons, but not yet chariots with spoked wheels

    – Worship of a sky god, *dyeus ph2tēr (lit. “sky father”; > Sanskrit Dyaus Pita, > Ancient Greek Ζεύς (πατήρ) / Zeus (patēr); vocative *dyeu-ph2ter > Latin Iūpiter; Illyrian Deipaturos)

    – Oral heroic poetry or song lyrics that used stock phrases such as imperishable fame and wine-dark sea

    – A patrilineal kinship-system based on relationships between men

    The Proto-Indo-Europeans relied largely on agriculture, but partly on animal husbandry, notably of cattle and sheep.

    They had domesticated horses – *eḱwos (cf. Latin equus). The cow (*gwous) played a central role, in religion and mythology as well as in daily life.

    A man’s wealth would have been measured by the number of his animals (small livestock), *peḱu (cf. English fee, Latin pecunia).

    As for technology, reconstruction indicates a culture of the late Neolithic bordering on the early Bronze Age, with tools and weapons very likely composed of “natural bronze” (i.e., made from copper ore naturally rich in silicon or arsenic). Silver and gold were known, but not silver smelting (as PIE has no word for lead, a by-product of silver smelting), thus suggesting that silver was imported. Sheep were kept for wool, and textiles were woven. The wheel was known, certainly for ox-drawn wagons.

    They practiced a polytheistic religion centered on sacrificial rites, probably administered by a priestly caste.

    Burials in barrows or tomb chambers apply to the Kurgan culture, in accordance with the original version of the Kurgan hypothesis, but not to the previous Sredny Stog culture, which is also generally associated with PIE. Important leaders would have been buried with their belongings in kurgans, and possibly also with members of their households or wives (human sacrifice, suttee).

    Many Indo-European societies know a threefold division of priests, a warrior class, and a class of peasants or husbandmen. Georges Dumézil has suggested such a division for Proto-Indo-European society.

    If there was a separate class of warriors, it probably consisted of single young men. They would have followed a separate warrior code unacceptable in the society outside their peer-group. Traces of initiation rites in several Indo-European societies suggest that this group identified itself with wolves or dogs (see also Berserker, werewolf).

    As far as I understand, early humans evolved from fearful cautious creatures, followed the water round the world, followed the wildlife inland, and that what we found from tribal steppe, and desert pastoral life, is an increasing aggressiveness and impulsivity, and what we found from northern agrarian life was greater docility (patience). This mirrors the testosterone, dimorphism, and neoteny evidence. Peak human is somewhere in the past I suspect.

    CULTURAL APPROPRIATION.

    Science, Medicine, Technology, Deflationary Truth, High Trust, Property Rights, Rule of Law by the Common Natural Law of Torts, a relatively uncorrupt if unfortunately ideological Independent Judiciary, a Constitution that is more effective at preserving rights than the paper it was printed upon, and a military second to none that preserves the western aristocratic ideal.

    Yeah. And um. What did germanic protestants get from you other than a greater selection of food?

    Oh yeah. We got catholicism and consequent poverty in our cities, the myriad of dishonesties accompanying judaism, the horrors of marxism communism, and postmodernism, feminism, and islamic fundamentalism, a set of world wars against communism, a current war against islamism, a current domestic civil war over postmodernism, a total loss of our educational system to propaganda and pseudoscience, a resurgence of tuberculosis and bedbugs, slums on arabic and indian scales, and near total destruction of rule of law.

    Um. Yeah. Um. Someone appropriated something for certain.

    I’m thinking that our attempts at colonialism were simply incomplete, and would have been better for everyone if we’d completed them – and that all debts are paid.

    And maybe it’s time to retaliate.

  • I DON’T WRITE ABOUT WHITE SUPREMACY – BUT ABOUT WESTERN CIVILIZATION’S INNOVATIO

    I DON’T WRITE ABOUT WHITE SUPREMACY – BUT ABOUT WESTERN CIVILIZATION’S INNOVATIONS THAT ALL NATIONS AND PEOPLES CAN COPY FOR THEMSELVES

    First, I don’t write white supremacy, I write about *why did europe drag humanity out of ignorance superstition, poverty, starvation, disease, and tyranny, in both the ancient world and the modern world?*

    Second I write more anti-racism than any other conservative living that I know of.

    Third I state that by adopting western civilization’s methods, and nationalism, that all people can escape ignorance, poverty, starvation, disease, and tyranny.

    Fourth, I state that all of this can be done by nothing more than rule of law under natural law, and small, homoenous, redistributive nations.

    The fact that *nationalists around the world* follow me for that reason is obvious evidence.

    Let me ask you a question. If I was to tell you that you and all your relatives on both sides of your family, out to six generations, have to have only one child, and that we will tax you such that you can only have one child, for the next two centuries, then how would you feel about it? (You might feel that your family was being exterminated.)

    Now, imagine that your family had managed its reproduction, mate selection, savings, education, children, and land for many generations and were being exterminated by current government policy. How would you feel about it? ( How you feel is determined by your current feelings of security, and your family’s achievements – or lack thereof.)

    Now, do you agree or disagree that diversity decreases trust and increases political competition? (It decreases trust, increases transaction costs, decreases the influence of norms, and increases political competition for rents and privileges.)

    Do you agree or disagree that groups of people from similar racial, subracial, tribal, and class backgrounds demonstrate greater or less genetic neoteny, and greater or less sexual dimorphism, and lower or higher distributions of intellectual, emotional, and physical abilities? (sorry but they do. the primary difference between groups and classes is neotonic selection and sexual dimorphism)

    Do you agree or disagree that people who are ‘with their own people’ and are disadvantaged by birth, take better care of their own people, with less usury and abuse? (they do demonstrably, everywhere. hence why nordics redistribute and tribal peoples don’t.)

    Do you agree or disagree that we have a responsibility to one another to insure the happiness and improvement of each tribe, subrace, race, and mankind in each generation? (I see no other choice – not because of high mindedness, but because it is the only possible answer for mutually assured success.)

    All human groups have the ability to reach equality through demographic evolution or demographic devolution. All human groups at present are dramatically unequal. And all human groups that attempt to integrate descend into dysgenia, ignorance, and poverty – demographic devolution. Europe and china excelled because we were homogenous and able to insulate themselves from the steppe and desert people who were less able to self domesticate through generations of selection under farming.

    These are purely scientific questions with purely scientific answers.

    So….

    Is it or is it not possible that what you feel and understand is simply *false* and damaging to mankind? Or is it that you were born with feelings that do not require empirical evidence in order to test whether they are true or not?

    Is it possible or not possible that just as you do not understand how economics function between the home, the locality, the nation, and the world, that norms and institutions function differently at different scales – for the same reason: you are generally wrong about everything above and below the scale of your perceptions.

    Unless you understand the very deep sophistication of my arguments then you are just another useful idiot in the enslavement by lies, credit, and laws that women and slaves were in the ancient world – and destroyed the four great civilization sin the ancient world – feeling just as you do. And you are just as useful an idiot in destroying the great civilizations of the modern world – feeling as you do.

    Let a thousand gods, a thousand temples, a thousand nations bloom. But end monopoly where people like me and mine must share a government with people like you and yours.

    Sharing a government is a bad thing. It leads to conflict everywhere in the world that it has been tried.

    So, I am willing to let you live freely as you wish. Are you willing to let me live freely as I wish?

    If not then civil war is the only choice. And it is the Just and Right choice.

    Because refusal would be the ultimate immorality.

    MY WORK: TWO THEORIES, ONE QUESTION, ONE OBJECTIVE

    My work, and this book, is predicated upon two theories, one question, and one objective:

    1) The First Theory: Western Civilization, in prehistory, invented deflationary truth, and this is the single cause of all consequent western developments.

    I work with incentives, and assume we merely justify what works. This explains all human behavior I am able to decompose, right down to variations in personality traits as variations in reward systems that produce the stages of the prey drive.

    Pastoralism (highly distributed property ownership) > no concentration of capital that makes armies possible.

    ……|> Family/Clan(cost of weapons) > Independently funded ‘pirates/vikings/raiders’ practice pirate ethics (liberty). > Militia not army.

    ……………….|>………Maneuver (Tactics using horse, bronze, wheel) > Requires unbreakable oaths even in the face of death.

    ………………………………..| > Deflationary Testimonial Truth(Contract) > The centrality of truth and oath as greatest cultural asset.

    ……………………………………………….| > Tolerance for reordering the status hierarchy by merit.

    …………………………………………………………….| > Heroism (Risk Taking) (Entrepreneurship)

    ………………………………………………………………………|> Sovereignty (ownership)

    …………………………………………………………………………………|> Common law of property (Tort), Independent judges, jury, thang, senate

    …………………………………………………………………………………………………..|> Markets in everything

    ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………|> Classes imitate status signals of aristocracy.

    The application of maneuver (today’s “ooda loop”) to the organization of civilization.

    The west never needs to be first, but it is always fastest.

    Westerners do demonstrate higher degrees of anxiety, lower clannishness, higher trust.

    2) The second theory: that what we call abrahamism was a profound innovation in the art of deception by the techniquos of conflation and suggestion and ficationalism, and that it was through this means of deception in the ancient world, under judaism, christianity, and islam using writing and pulpit, and in the modern under marxism, postmodernism, and islamism using media and academy.

    3) The question: is it possible to define a test of what we call scientific, deflationary, truthfulness regardless of subject matter, such that we can extend the warranty of due diligence on products and services to that of information: meaning: speech?

    4) The ambition: to produce teach people the technique – constituting an additional logic, to create a movement if not institution to teach this technique, and produce a constitutional amendments with sufficient incentives for a population to voluntarily vote for this requirement in law – or to provoke a revolution and secession and implement it regardless.

    SLAVS AND GERMANICS ARE DIFFERENT ‘GENERATIONS’

    You can conflate Corded ware (Polish-Ukrainian territory), with celto-italic-germanic, which is true.

    BUT while polish people speak a slavic language, slavs, (slavonic speakers), are (a) a much younger people, with no history and possibly only a proto-language prior to 700.

    So while it may be possible to say that we all share black-sea ancestors, it is false to say they were slavs. The population-radiation is out of poland, for the simple reason that it’s the best farmland other than france. And the genome spreads from Poland on the north sea, well into western ukraine.

    It is more correct to say that today’s slavs are the youngest and most ‘recent’ white people to evolve, and possibly that they are purest genetic europeans.

    What you can’t say is that there is any relationship between the term Slav and any of the successes in the west. There isn’t *any* justification for that.

    So use ‘early europeans’ as our common ancestors and you’re ok.

    The general evidence is that the people who spoke germanic languages around the north sea evolved physical traits superior to all other european tribes in the modern world, largely through self-domestication. The corded ware culture probably created the waves of european excellence in the ancient world.

    More by Simon Ström:

    “Corded Ware” is probably too narrow, i.e., accounts only for one out of two important subsets of the sum total of the post 3,000 BC westward Yamnaya movements which together produced a “proto-white” core population.

    The other major population being related rather to the Bell Beaker phenomenon, dominated by R1b Steppe clans migrating via the Sub-carpathian/Pannonian route as opposed to the territory of Poland and Ukraine which is associated with early Corded Ware).

    Subsets of the Bell Beaker subsequently departed to colonize the British Isles and Scandinavia without significant admixture with the previous inhabitants. (Displacement).
