Þið sem eruð á FB og/eða voruð of hrædd til að mæta. Þið þurfið að toga í fólkið í kringum ykkur út á göturnar næst þegar eitthvað svona gerist, til að slá ótta í hjörtu þessara smásála. Fjölbreytileikinn er í húfi. Þið hafið tækifæri til að vera hluti af því að stöðva ris fasisma heima hjá ykkur.

When former Norwegian PM announced the "longship" carbon capture project, she said the name came from the Viking ship, then paused for a few seconds, and then highlighted that she didn't agree with everything the Vikings did

The big political parties, big media institutions are all getting chewed up and disappearing fast, and small parties and small media are like "great, now we can move towards the centre and become more big and bland like those guys."

Related to this: I don't think it's useful to use the terms 'pagan' and certainly not 'heathen' because these all centre an assumed Christian normality, just like our understanding of 'a religion' as an institution does.

We'll be ok as long as Javier Milei doesn't see this.

My answer to this used to be "there's no such thing as human nature" but then I realised a relative lack of an inborn nature is probably exactly what does define the nature of humans as compared to other animals.

One text: it is incorrect to see forn sed as a religion Another text: "the pre-Christian religion, called forn siðr,"

The whole internet loves Old Norse Beliefs, a lovely traditional culture from the Viking Age! *5 seconds later* We regret to inform you the Old Norse Beliefs included the practice of child sacrifice.

Wait, is this paper in German? Today I've read about Norse religion in Norwegian (fagfeltet Norrøn religion) but I have to draw the line somewhere!
