the basis of modern Patriarchy

So pagans weren’t white?

white supremacy was born

The Norse?

What a weird definition you use

What I meant is simply that the roman empire and the Catholic church forged ideological colonial basis of today, not that racism didn't exist before

Also I meant Patriarchy as an overarching colonial institution, not as an isolated cultural concept. The world wasn't always universally like this, there are many examples of non (or less) patriarchal societies throughout history, and we don't know enough about prehistory to make any definitive judgement on humanity

True but that doesn’t fit with your argument as a precondition to being white

The Norse?

Where in the world does that come from?

Norse are the Scandinavians

I would say Northern Germanic but it might cause confusion with the country

I meant the accusation that white supremacy was "born" in the nordics.

Maybe I misinterpreted what you meant?
