Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
I’m confused as well. I’ve read that Iran also derives from Aryan as well. I don’t think it means white supremist originally but I think later on the term got hijacked to mean white supremist. I’m actually fuzzy on the details how that got co~opted.
I was listening to a few podcasters and historians talking about ancient civilizations specifically the indo-European cultures ie babylonian or modern day Iraq/iran area and there is also the use of the swastika originally as a religious symbol and also got co-opted into “white supremist/nazi”.
Equally confused

This channel has a lot of videos on ancient cultures etc. I don’t remember if this one talks about the aryans specifically.
Oh thank you for this. I love this stuff. Can’t wait to watch. 👍
No. Me too. I just started listening to the graham Hancock stuff.
