It’s always the patriarchal conquerors like the Ancient Romans or the Ancient Greeks that they idolize and never the people like, say, the Picts or the Celts or the Gaul that rebelled against the brutal Roman empire. It’s never the Scottish or the Irish heroes who fought back against the British Empire that followed in Rome’s footsteps. None of them probably even know who Boudica is.
Ironically, a lot of the stuff you could call “white culture” was burnt at the stake, banned, brutalized, and literally demonized by the Empires that chuds think are so civilized. A lot of pagan culture was lost to time, or warped by Roman ‘scholars’ for propaganda purposes. If they truly cared about their ‘culture’, then "Muh Christian trad wife’ would be seen as killing the identity of pagan women, rather than an aspiration.
also basic stuff that we don’t even think of today like “it is wrong to consider your wife to be a literal slave” The cultural shift in European culture as a result of Christianity is hard to underestimate. Romans thought it was in the natural order for a patriarch displeased with his wife to leave their infant son on the street (where in theory they could be adopted but in reality would be eaten by stray dogs). If you grew up in Roman society the thing you would find outraging in that situation would be if the mother complained
I know someone who is teaching themselves Latin in retirement and according to them Latin talks about death the way English talks about rain or the inuits snow
Although a pater familias could do that, it was still weird to do.
Also, they do not speak of death and dying more than any other ancient culture. The problem is we mostly have stories of political figures or generals, mythical or religious texts, and funerary inscriptions. These things tend to discuss death pretty often. People also just died a lot, and the death of animals wasn’t something you could forget about when they were butchered in front of you.
