For a long time, Etruria served as the first and primary antagonist of the Roman Republic. Its nation and culture were used to represent everything that was Unroman and Unrepublican. Etruria, after all, did have a very distinct culture from Rome. They were a pre-Indo-European culture that worshipped distinct Gods and was ruled by a confederation of Kings. A stark contrast to Aryan descended Romans, they were nothing like these Anatolian barbarians.
Or were they? A dive into the genetics of these people reveals a narrative-shattering truth. The Romans and the Etruscans were genetically indistinguishable. The Etruscans, despite being a pre-Indo European people culturally, had Aryan heritage, and they had the EXACT same amount of Aryan ancestry as the Romans did, which is around 20-35% depending on the source.
This is in stark contrast to the Greeks who lived south of the Romans in Southern Italy. Despite the Greeks speaking an Indo-European language and worshipping very similar gods to the Romans, they had ONLY around 10-20% Aryan heritage. This means that not only were the Romans way more related to the Anatolian Etruscans, but that the Etruscans were genetically more Aryan than the Griko Italians.
>Erm, do we care about this?
Yes, we do, because it has some interesting implications.
Number 1: It shows that the Aryans were willing to assimilate into pre-European culture and become part of their way of life. This hints that the Aryan invasion of Europe may not have been as ruthless and violent as many of us think it was, and that there was likely a very strong degree of negotiation and coexistence between the two people.
-Number 2: The common assertion that "Culture = Race = Genetics" is not entirely true and an oversimplification. We can see how two groups of people with almost identical ancestry and very close proximity to one another can develop widely distinct cultures from one another. Cultural assimilation is indeed possible in certain contexts. When we discuss race and culture, we must take into consideration the history of people and not chalk everything up to genetics.-
Number 3: The idea that different races of people can live together in the same society and not mix over time is absurd. Even the Etruscans, who were very obvious in vehemently resisting the culture of the Aryan invaders, still hybridized with these steppe people, and in the exact same way the Romans did, despite the Romans accepting an alien culture from their conquerors. People downplay the dangers of a multi-racial society by proclaiming that white people will not hybridize themselves with the new additions to our countries. History has shown us time and time again that when two or more races share a civilization for long enough, they eventually fuck each other, and eventually at least one of these races gets fucked out of existence. The pure Anatolian people of Italy are gone and gone forever. The pure Aryan people of Italy are gone and gone forever. And nothing can be done to bring back either of these extinct peoples. The same thing is going to happen to white people if we do not kick these mockeries of humanity out of our countries. There can be no coexistence with barbarians if the white race wishes to continue to exist.
Thank you for reading my TedX talk, I want to help introduce more high quality threads into /pol/. Please let me know your thoughts on this matter. I do not have a Roman themed Delcatty, so this image will have to do.
