    I’m curious what this lost soul thinks the Teutons were doing to the pagans to advance medieval German “nationalism” (can I even call that nationalism?)

    But what really tickles my sides is how much Mr. Teuton badly wants the US and England to be included, but can’t stand France.

      He did include Hauts-de-France, Normandy and Brittany though. Which is even more strange.

      I assumed it was some kind of Vichy France thing, but then there’d be more included.

        history chud probably only included these regions since they saw heavy germanic tribal presence in the past. Like the Frisians, Burgundians, Scandinavians and the Franconians.

        Normans are suposedly viking decendants, but if you include them why not sicilia and naples? Or russia? Not white enough probably.

        I thought it was some brainworms about territories held by the british in the medieval past but even then it doesn’t match perfectly, it’s weird

      They put the pagans: prussians, pomeranians, pomeralians, etc in plantations. There is even one (wrong) economic theory that says the reason eastern germany is less developed economically than the west is because of the impact of those plantations. This model likley influenced hittler in some way.

      As for nationalism. I think what differentiates nazis from other facists is that the former see the race as the mover of history while the later see the state. (Both are wrong, the correct answer is clases as defined by their relations to production, and race is not even a real thing) so this nazi may see the baltic conflict from a racial lens rather than a nationalist. Or more likley is thinking in anachronisms.

      in that conflict the germans were the christians and the pagans were the balts and slavs… but this guy claims to be a pagan.

      Why is France omitted? Now that I think about it, Spain and Portugal also seem to be omitted, along with large parts of Eastern Europe and Russia.
