Thing is though how come Nords could use the Voice for war for so long then?

How come it took Jurgen the coward losing at  Battle of Red Mountain for this "way" of the Voice to rear it's ugly head?

Explain how Nords didn't lose every single battle they used the Voice in before then?

A more likely explination is that Jurgen the coward lost  Battle of Red Mountain, and then tried sadly successfully to explain it with " really you guys even though we have used the Voice for war for like thousands upon thousands of years this one loss means we were totally wrong and should only allow old farts to learn Thu'um".

I know which one is most likely and it is not your and Jurgen/Greybeards culture erasing route.

When all Nords that can, use the Thu'um the connection shared to Kyne is kept alive.

When only prissy old men isolating themselves away shouting at eachother use it, it is pissing in Kyne's face.

Complete waste of Thu'um Because Kyne gave them a chance to think about it themselves. When Kyne realised they wouldn't change she simply did what she did.

Paarthurnax, the Dragon appointed by Kyne to teach the Voice says that the Way of the Voice is the truth. That says enough. Just because you're a Nord doesn't mean you can shout.

Kyne approves of the Way of the Voice, hence Paarthurnax follows it.
