I don't know if anyone here ever had a taste for sci-fi gun porn, but the first person to introduce me to the idea of Germanic neo-paganism was a fellow named John Ringo, pulp fiction writer.

You've actually seen his effects on the world, he's often credited with coining the phrase "Go Woke Go Broke."

Anyways, he's literally a Nazi pretending to be American libertarian. Once you get clued in to the dogwhistles they're just... just fuckin everywhere.

Rape fetish, sexualization of minors, blatant racism, thinly veiled Wehraboo shit, he had aliens genocide everyone not white at one point while also making blonde women go into heats, like you do not understand, this is just the surface. He practically dedicated one book to explaining how "machismo culture" is why Hispanics will never amount to anything, this is not a joke.

Anyways, any one ever tells you they're Asartu, they're either the dumbest person on the planet or a Nazi, there are no exceptions. There simply is no value to Norse neo-paganism because the original sucked fucking ass too.

Not getting into its explicit endorsement of chattel slavery and might makes right rules of conquest, or even the human sacrifice, the only credible source we have of a "Viking funeral," witnessed and recorded by an Arabic traveler, recounts the gang rape and murder of a slave woman as part of the ritual, and ends with a naked, presumably expendable Kievan Rus man running from the pyre covering his ass so spirits don't get in it.

The Germanic religion is historically interesting, had a great myth cycle, one of my favorite versions of a "zombie," and has some interesting tenets regarding things like a hereditary matriarchal spirit passed to all descendants, even the men, but it still belongs in the past, dead. There is no value in its resurrection for anyone not a Nazi.

Go be a druid or a witch or something, damn, at least when they make shit up about dead religions with no actual surviving belief structure it's not always a cover for white supremacy.

When I read the headline first thing I thought about was the CSU.
