Lack of exposure, poor education and indoctrination, mostly.

I mean that's why they fight so hard against actually talking about history. Because then it hollows out what little they can brag about and exposes the privilege they had with the rest.

That comment from yesterday with Hitler malding about Himmler excavating and preserving prehistoric German mudhuts was chefs-kiss . Text of the image:

Himmler had scientists undertake excavations of prehistoric sites. Hitler commented:

Why do we call the whole world's attention to the fact that we have no past? It isn't enough that the Romans were erecting great buildings when our forefathers were still living in mud huts; now Himmler is starting to dig up these villages of mud huts and enthusing over every potsherd and stone axe he finds. All we prove by that is that we were still throwing stone hatchets and crouching around open fires when Greece and Rome had already reached the highest stage of culture. We really should do our best to keep quiet about this past. Instead Himmler is making a great fuss about it all. The present-day Romans must be having a laugh at these revelations.

Some things never change.

Maybe Germania wouldn't have been so bad without Hitler's vaunted Romans marching in and kicking them in the dick and enslaving them every time some senator or Caesar's failson needed to prove himself.

I mean, stone technology people built some pretty elaborate stuff, like networks of fish traps in coastal Australia, outrigger canoes in Polynesia that brought people to places as distant from their origin as Madagascar and Hawaii. Or Stonehenge if it must be whitey doing it. Goddamn the OG nazis were fuckin' insecure.

Kinda stupid too because the Germanic tribes were Rome's go-to for mercenaries. They were extremely well respected warriors during Roman expansion.

Good point, I forgot about that. Roman history isn't my forte, thanks for bringing that up.
