Can't a man just have an interest in Norse mythology without it being a statement anymore? 17 minutes ago, zero said: thank god all those people out there with butterflies tattooed above their ass and tribal bands around their ankles are still safe here.

may be rude Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 ah man that's unfortunate. i listened to an audiobook that puts the mythology from the epic poems into regular prose and it was awesome. like straight-up lord of the rings but the original. i had heard that tolkein took stuff from norse mythology but i didn't realize that he pretty much just jacked it entirely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole origin of Yggdrasil and the rainbow road is wild shit. Unlike many other religions. I guess it's probably what happens when a culture evolves seeing the northern lights often.

Very true though interestingly enough he (although he denies it now) first came out as an anti-Islamist, anti-globalist and anti-leftist which is why he targeted political youth. I don't say this as an "acshully" point but a remember that there's far-right wing in-fighting as well. I remember Varg / Burzum writing about how this guy was Christian traitor and a slew of other anti-Semitic bullshit and wrong for targeting white Norwegians and how he (Varg) - a misanthropic violent piece of shit himself - was appalled he'd kill children. The shitty thing about fascist in-fighting is it often doesn't split groups. Nazis had both devout Christian conservatives and esoteric Pagans in their ranks.

dingformung Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 It's a mistake of the left to let the right occupy old symbols and mythology. Celtic and Norse art is pretty, why let them use these aesthetics for their hate? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TubularCorporation Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 38 minutes ago, chenGOD said: that book looks really interesting! Yeah, it's kind of amazing, especially since it was written and published in the early 70s while a lot of the groups it was talking about hand run their whole course yet, so it has a different perspective. I don't even remember how I first learned about it, I think it was cited in something else. This one's seems like a more sort of academic, comprehensive take on a lot of the same stuff, but I have to admit I haven't read much of it yet (and my old copy doesn't have the sort of self-helpy vibe that the Amazon description gives off): https://www.amazon.com/Guru-Papers-Masks-Authoritarian-Power/dp/1883319005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jules Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 2 hours ago, Rubin Farr said: Senate Sergeant at Arms told to resign by Jan. 21, or he will be fired. Also this: also: A second suspect, Lonnie Coffman – whom AL.com identified as being 70 years old – is accused of having two handguns, an assault rifle, and 11 Molotov cocktails that included gasoline and apparent homemade napalm, the official said. Coffman, from Falkville, Ala., was identified after police linked him to a suspicious red GMC pick-up truck with Alabama plates. Mark Leffingwell was also charged, accused of knowingly entering restricted ground and assaulting an officer after he entered the Capitol. Court papers released Thursday in connection with his U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) arrest show Leffingwell repeatedly punched a USCP officer in the helmet and chest. The fourth man is Christopher Michael Alberts, of Maryland, accused of illegally entering the Capitol while in possession of a loaded Taurus 9mm handgun, as well as a separate magazine filled with ammunition. USCP said Alberts, who was wearing a bulletproof vest, "immediately tried to flee" before police detained him, court papers show. He is accused of also having a pocketknife at the time.
