What causes wewuzism?

Is it coming from a country or culture with very little cultural history and identity?

I don't see Brits, French, Germans or even white Americans commiting wewuzism, but eastern Europeans, Turks, and obviously Blacks do it all the time. We never see Indians or Chinese doing it though, but they do have a rich history, but so do many others who do commit wewuzism.

>>1398949
Vedas are their own history, Indus valley is real, never heard the scientist shit.

It isn't wewuzism to talk about things that your people actually did.

Is it even a problem? For the first time in their lives uneducated ghetto trash are opening books and discovering there is a whole world outside the projects.

Don't jinx it.
>>
>>1398949
That's not wewuzism

They're just exaggerating the achievements that their actual ancestors did
>>
Because mainstream history is extremely western centric and said nations who are prone want to increase mainstream focus on their significance and achievements which they feel are unfairly ignored.

Racism aside, it's because black history is boring to black Americans.

No epic-like battles between large armies, no clash between idealism in politics, no court intrigue and dealings, no complex and sophisticated system or culture to gush about.

Much of their history isn't written down either so there's that whole unknown void factor.

It's basically a bunch of tribal wars in simple hunter-gatherer society, and then one day their ancestors got captured and sold to some funny looking people from across the ocean.

Probably has something to do with the fact that my great grandfather was full blooded Cherokee from Oklahoma.

You don't understand the essence of "WE WUZ"ery.
An American playing up their slight Irish descent isn't "WE WUZ"ery, because they're not actually attributing any fantastical/ahistorical achievements to the Irish race or baselessly asserting that they're Irish despite being from a completely different part of the world. Most Americans that talk about being Irish are legitimately of Irish descent and are really just looking for an excuse to get drunk.
A black guy claiming that ancient African civilisations discovered how to harness electricity in 4500 BC is "WE WUZ"ery. A German guy baselessly asserting that Nero and Sulla were actually of German descent and not Mediterranean is "WE WUZ"ery. A white American with 1/4th Irish ancestry getting smashed on St. Patrick's Day isn't "WE WUZ"ery. It would be "WE WUZ"ery if they claimed that the Irish landed on the moon in 3000 BC, or if they insisted they were Irish despite clearly being of Hawaiian descent.

There is Indigenous Aryan theory in India, which is popular with RSS and Hindu nationalists, which rejects the Indo-European migration hypothesis and Proto-Indo-European language theory, both of which are strongly supported by mainstream scholars and archaeological evidence. Indigenous Aryans adherents believe the IE and PIE theories are the result of a colonial racist plot to divide modern India by suggesting that the people who live there now are not the people who lived there since the beginning of history and that northern and southern India share different cultural heritages.

Instead, they favor a theory, unsupported by evidence, that India has always been one nation of people since Vedic times, and even before.

American education isn't that great on many areas of the country, and a lot of schools which are predominantly black are some of the poorest and shittiest. Plus, if there's one area that the US is particularly poor in teaching, it's history, which is strange give that the country's history is not that long compared to Europe or other nations. World history basically isn't taught in many schools.

Black people in the US are obviously also on the bottom rung of the social ladder, and there isn't a lot of pride in the communities or much emphasis on education. It's not a surprise that, given the lack of knowledge of history combined with a steong feeling of disempowerment, some black people start believing conspiracy theories that history has been whitewashed and that white people are hiding that black people did all these great things in the past, it gives a sense of pride.

>Indians aren't into wewuzism

Some Indians literally think that Vedic India invented nuclear weapons.

"Ancient tales speak of flying vimanas. Vimanas were real vehicles and the origin of the ‘Aeroplanes.’ Great wars were described in early religious texts. Weapons could literally level the land like a moving force field. In ancient India, we find words for certain measurements of length; one was the distance of light-years and one was the length of an atom. Only a society that possessed nuclear energy would have the need for such words. When Oppenheimer said ‘I am become the destroyer of worlds,’ he was quoting from these ancient books. Believe it or not, the deserts on a number of continents today are the result of (prehistoric) nuclear warfare. Historian Kisari Mohan Ganguli says that Indian sacred writings are full of such descriptions, which sound like an atomic blast as experienced in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He says references mention fighting sky chariots and final weapons. An ancient battle is described in the Drona Parva, a section of the Mahabharata. “The passage tells of combat where explosions of final weapons decimate entire armies, causing crowds of warriors with steeds and elephants and weapons to be carried away as if they were dry leaves of trees,” says Ganguli."

At my local university the Indian community had an even where they presented Indian history and culture.

All went well until one girl started talking Vedic science (Indian Creation science) and how advanced it is and that they already knew about the theory of relativity.

Since my university is a technical, people didn't take that well.

Yeah, I had a similar experience only it was an actual Indian diplomat talking how Indians invented geometry and how they knew the value of light speed thousands of years ago.
>>
>>1404129

Well if I recall the greeks also had an estimate for the speed of light, it just happened to be wrong.

Also are you saying the Indians didn't have geometry? How would they measure the level of irrigation works for their river valley agriculture? How would they transport water down a gradient if they didn't understand the concepts of gradients or angles?

Funnily Snorri Sturluson wrote in the Edda that the Norse gods were Trojans who migrated northwards after the sacking. For example, he theorizes that Thor's name is a corrupted version of HecTor. Great stuff.

and in the end it always leads to one thing, europe conquered most nations, why? because of their inventions regarding weaponry and armor, navy, doctrine etc, why? because of their culture, why? because of x > another 40 x > because of their environment and resources > why? because they were smart enough to move to the ideal location, no matter how you see it, it always leads to that

What eurocentrics don't like to admit is that history is random.

The Muslim World was once leagues beyond Western Europe in all areas of life. While China and the Middle East were flourishing, Europe was a shit hole (not as bad as people like to say but still). Obviously, the tide changed.

Europe is now ahead of the world thanks to historical luck. The discovery of the Americas an resources from the Americas helped Europe reach the Renaissance era. From here, increased imperialism and the benefits thereof allowed Europe to have a pool of resources to do with their liking. And from there is where we get there the Europe of today.

Such events happened to every civilization. Egypt defeated the Sea Peoples while other civilizations were destroyed, Alexander invaded Persia at a time of its weakness, and the Arabs came to prominence as the public were fed up up of both Persia and Byzantium. Thus, to say Westerners are superior because of achievements is wewuzing as, like many other civilizations, Western Europe was benefitted by conditions.

Now, go back to your "altright" circlejerk and let the men discuss history.

>>1404396
The ancient mesopotamia kinda shows this really well. The dominant power constantly changes with pretty much random luck. Assyrians defeat babylonians, they defeat heaps of people even though they form coalitions agaisnt them assyria just crushes them but then they get fucked in the ass and the medes and persians who assyrians saw as barbarians take the lead and create an empire bigger than assyria etc. History is a never ending story just because someone is powerful right now doesn't mean they'll stay powerful forever.

and yet no other civilization has come close to were we are, just like the amount of time it takes to run 110m reduces, or the amount of weight lifted, it continously reaches new heights, and currently western civilization is that height, so to say that it isn't at this point, the supreme culture/peoples is delusion

With the globalization and free information flowing worldwide people of poorer and more irrelevant national background (from a historical point of view) are becoming aware of the richness and importanc of European history and envy it greatly. That is why they try to claim the features of the mediterranean people and fabricate their own history, so they don't feel as irrelevant.
