All we know with relative certainty is that:
a) there's genetic continuity of European population from Upper
Palaeolithic (73%) and from Neolithic (the rest)
b) one language replacement has taken place in Romance,
Anglo-Saxon, South Slavonic, Magyar, Maltese, and Turkish Countries
(rarely two: maybe Hungary, Andalusia, Sicily, parts of Turkey, German
East Europe, parts of Russia, and similar cases)
c) a second language replacement is taking place in urban societies.
That's all. With know also that a population replacement has very
sadly taken place in the Americas.
All the rest is speculation. A compelled one (we have no other
means left), but nonetheless speculation. Someone likes genocides,
some other one likes complaining against genocides, someone doesn't
like having to do with genocides at all. Same for language
replacements.
Now, what about Indo-Europeans?
First dilemma: were they majority or minority?
A) Minority!
B) Majority!
Second dilemma: do You side with Indo-Europeans? Do You like them?
A1) Yes!
A2) No! I side with their victims!
B) Yes! (They were the only ones)
A1 usually are (from Left to Right):
- Marxist Orthodoxy
- Westerners (American Cow-Boys)
- European Minority Leaders (especially when they are rooted in
Northern Countries agains a more Southern dominant State)
- Racist Nazis
A2 usually are (from Left to Right):
- Leftists (Third-World Friends)
- European Minority Militant Fighters (especially when they are
rooted in Southern Countries; typically Basques)
- Roman Catholics (Rome and Mediterranean against German North)
- Fascists (Etruscans and Rome against German Barbarians)
B usually are (from Left to Right):
- Pacifists ('We are all brothers')
- Atlantic Americans ('We are a Nation out of all Nations')
- European Minority Intellectuals
- Imperialist Nazis
