This happened in 2017 at Rosiorii de Vede, Romania. A 3-year-old baby fell inside a 49.2ft well. For more than 10 hours, they tried to rescue the baby, but the well was too small. This 14-year-old kid offered himself as a volunteer since he was skinny enough to fit. With a pulley system, he went down 49.2ft and successfully rescued the baby.
The Left would call this toxic masculinity. I would call this heroism. THIS YOUNG BOY RISKED HIS LIFE TO SAVE A 3-YEAR-OLD WATCH
I don't know where you get the idea that I "want" them to be Romans, when I clearly said they are a very mixed people.
I also don't know why you want them to be Slavs so badly.
Romanians don't sound like Slavs, don't look like Slavs, and don't behave like Slavs. They are not Slavs linguistically. They are not Slavs culturally. And they are not Slavs genetically. They are not Slavs. No matter how embarrassed you are about being wrong.
You're also wrong about the etymology of the word Slav. The root of that word is the same as "slava" (freedom/glory) and slovo (word/language). IE, a free people with a shared language. Slavic people were calling themselves by early versions of that term well before the Roman conquest of Dacia. And Dacians, by the way, were not calling themselves any form of Slav. Because they were not Slavs. And their language, prior to the Roman conquest, was a Thracian dialect. Not a Slavic language.
If anything, the modern word "slave" was a mistaken derivation from "Slav", not the other way around.
