White or Aryan? Some thoughts from a Spanish Viking
The whole matter of white origins is a very complex subject and not something I have ever had the time to sit down and really study properly. Which is not for lack of interest on my part – it is a subject that fascinates me, and I am particularly intrigued by the idea that ancient white civilisations might have existed outside of Europe.
One thing I have noticed from cursory reading of the material is that this whole area is built on shifting sands. No-one with any actual expertise in the various disciplines involved really seems sure of what they are saying. By contrast, those who lack expertise but hold strong views invariably put across their opinions with unwarranted certainty.
Anthropology, for instance, is not a science, whatever its pretenses otherwise, and most of its methods are not truly scientific. That is why I am wary of accepting affirmative pronouncements in these matters, even from experts. Most of the work of anthropology over the last 100 years or so has been heavily coloured by politics. It would not surprise me if what I alluded to a moment ago turns out to be true: that ancient white peoples occupied the whole of this planet, but anyone relying on the academic material would never alight on that supposition. We whites certainly have the capability and inclination to have been the world’s first cosmopolitan race.
I’ve seen here and there on white nationalist websites use of this word ‘Aryan’, which I know is typically associated in the public mind with the German National Socialists of the 1920s to 1940s. I don’t particularly object to it, but I prefer ‘white’, more out of habit than anything else. Some white nationalists reject use of the term ‘Aryan’ altogether, while others use it imprecisely in what I can only assume is a sort of whimsy or fancy. Is it accurate? I think a lot depends on what is meant by the term ‘Aryan’. It seems to be malleable and can be used in a purely linguistic sense or in more of a racial sense. Different people have different theories and ideas on who was (or is) Aryan. The suppositions are sharply conflicting, which doesn’t bode well for those who seek certainty. Some people think that the Aryans are of ancient indigenous European origin. Others believe that the Aryans were a cultural and language group of central Asian origin that expanded across southern Europe and perhaps northern Africa as well, mixing with the Mesolithics (the Basques, etc.), then moving northwards, initially as a brown-skinned race. Over time due to evolutionary pressures, this whole group then lightened in skin colour. My intuitive judgement on the matter, based on what little I know, is something along the lines of the latter theory, and being of a naturally ‘intellectual’ bent, I am suspicious of those who would reject it purely for political reasons. But I just don’t know – and I strongly suspect no-one ‘knows’.
Interestingly, I read somewhere (sorry, can’t source this right now) that indigenous Britons are predominantly of Basque and Celtic origin with only very minor Nordic and Germanic admixture. If true, that means (in pseud modern parlance) we’re basically Spanish Vikings speaking hybrid Latin-German. That would certainly explain my short temper. Next time an ignorant lefty tells you we’re all black, that should be your answer – if, like me, you’re of indigenous British origin.
