What did the Celts and Germanics think of southern europeans?
What did the southerners think of the northerners?
>>831321

After Rome started to falter, Germanics were the big bullies and they set up protection rackets across Europe. They would come to consider themselves of a superior breed, more noble, than the workers they'd lord over.
>>831354
Why are people who live in Germany cursed with a persecution and superiority complex?
>>831354
Germanics always.

Neither

This, plebs shouldn't be interpreting the bible, that's the magisteriums job.
Hypothetically:
If God is real and Christianity is right, does Nietzsche have any value?
