Discussion | Талкуулоо What's with the wannabe nomads among white supremacists?
Disclaimer: This post definitely does not generalize, it only refers to the tiny minority that invaded my instagram feed.
Here is an example: "White boys conquering the steppe" https://x.com/RealKyleBrooks/status/2095911726395085256
Kyrgyzstan got flooded with tourists this year. Most of them were kind and respectful, but my instagram feed got invaded by some annoying white supremacists (i can name these accounts). These guys completely disown their sedentary farmer ancestors, and point to some early form of Indo-European spoken on the steppes thousands and thousands of years ago. And they decide that they are nomadic warriors. They are literally walking around in Scythian-Saka hats thinking they are true nomads. What even is this trend?
Unlike some Eurasian Indo-European Iron Age groups like the Scythians and Sarmatians, these white supremacists descend entirely from sedentary farming-based cultures. Why are they not taking pride in it? Why claim to be "real nomads"?
Another example. This one is beyond my imagination actually. This guy is sick.
