yes the culture that happens to adapt/improve/recruit tech, culture and people from all over the place is the ''barbarian''
I was always under the assumption that 'barbarian' was specifically the term Romans used to refer to any non Romans north of the empire?
Still, funny shitpost.
That’s the historical root of the term, but “barbaric” and “barbarian” also have long histories as diminutive due to colonialism.
