What exactly is a Nordicist? Are they known to be racists or what? I'm still feeling my way about this forum...I've seen a few ****** and racists on theapracity.com but I normally just chalk that up to youthful silliness and a general lack of education & social graces amongst some of the younger members there. The whole Germanic/Slav thing seems to be a big deal too. Some people have way too much invested in that subject. It's not surprising given the recent history of the regions involved.
Both Slavicism and Nordicism are forms of racism I suppose you could say, both proposing the idea that the inhabitants of those parts of Europe are "superior" to the rest. An extreme form of Nordicism is Nazism.
It used to be that Nordicists tied their "superiority" to being descendants of the "Indo-Europeans", and, of course, to having more blue eyed blondes among them. That's abated a bit with the discovery the Yamnaya weren't so "Nordic" after all, and definitely weren't blonde and blue eyed, so it has switched to Corded Ware from what I can tell. Then, the Slavs, viewed as "untermenschen" by the Germans, have vociferously taken to saying "they're" the closest descendants of the Indo-Europeans, so they're the "really" superior ones. That's Eurogenes whole raison d'etre. Maybe it's partly understandable some go down this road given their history.
Then, to make things even more muddled, we have the Nordicist Spaniards and Italians fighting over which one is less Nordic and blonde than the other. We used to be infested by the Spanish variety, thankfully now gone.
And let's not forget the people from the Balkans, who all hate one another it seems, or at least the ones on this site do, with the Albanians apparently hated by everyone, and they hating everyone else, but especially the Greeks. They all have their foundation "myths", and some try very hard to twist the data to fit them.
They don't just inhabit theapricity (some of whose founding members were sent to prison), or sites like stormfront, which is probably monitored by dozens of government agencies, but also make their appearance on sites like anthrogenica and even here under "sock" names occasionally. Eventually, most of them reveal their true colors.
I think they're all mad as hatters, and most of them, as you've been able to discern, know very little to nothing of history. The ones who know a little are more dangerous because they're able to twist and massage the facts.
Trying to keep everybody civil, and correcting posts when they are just too egregiously "wrong" and confounded by the actual data is a thankless task, and I'm sorry to say that sometimes I lose my temper, especially when such attempts are met with personal insults personally, ethnically, and in terms of my gender. The really disgusting ones are usually PMs, so everyone else is spared them.
