> the innate characteristics of an ethnos (nation) were first defined by herodotus yes, and the jews took plato's laws and put them into practice, except with a much stronger emphasis on purity of blood. we can just compare the jews, greeks and latins in practice to see this: greeks conquered all of asia up to india, yet there are no actual living greek communities left because they rapidly miscegenated into the local populations. alexander himself became culturally persianized during his conquests and his favorite wife was half persian. the romans speak for themselves, by the imperial period that had become so muttified they were unrecognizeable. early romans had a concept of identity but it was an elitist aristocratic concept that did not filter down into the masses. in a way its similar to the modern usa, where whiteness is associated with being middle or upper middle class and "white trash" are disavowed by higher status whites. one of the main reasons why upper income whites vote left wing is because they associate whiteness with low status, and this is characteristic of europeans being unable to separate common racial identity from social status or income. by comparison, rich jews are very liberal with their wealth towards other jews and one of the main reasons israel has such a powerful lobby is jewish billionaires are willing to sacrifice much more for jewish interests than white billionaires are for our interests (aka nothing)
