I don't agree with people who say that you shouldn't be friends with people with whom you disagree.

But seriously, these people just sound pathetic.

Also, who tells strangers on the internet that he is a 'Viking'? Viking is an occupation, namely a part-time robber and pirate. It's like Falstaff saying that highway robbery is his vocation.

with whom you disagree.

You left out "about your own continued existence". Because the disagreement is about whether white skin deserves to be around in forty years.

Living alongside an existential threat is an act of unfathomable stupidity. Living alongside a threat to your progeny is unthinkable.

Viking is an occupation, namely a part-time robber and pirate.

Wrong. It's a verb, like cycling or walking. To vyke was to raid. To put the dragon head on your boat to signal aggressive intent. The part time thing is vaguely correct, insomuch as raiding is one of the basic periodic duties of being a man. But that's like saying that everyone was a farmer. Doesn't tell the whole story at all.

The pirate part was particularly wrong. Ship to ship clashes back then were rare because they were effectively suicide. The art of naval warfare(and most land warfare) had been lost with the Romans and wouldn't emerge on a wide scale for centuries.

No, the disagreement is whether they should be blindly believing what the media says. Because I know leftists who don't like immigration, but are still leftists for other reasons. They are hardly people who think that white people should not be around.

The part time thing is vaguely correct, insomuch as raiding is one of the basic periodic duties of being a man.

I assume you mean 'at the time'. Still, I'm not sure how much stealing and taking other people as slaves was a good thing, even at the time. It always struck me as rather unreasonable how much Muslims think that jihad and raiding infidels is a good thing.

But that's like saying that everyone was a farmer. Doesn't tell the whole story at all.

It's like calling yourself Agricultist in honor of agricultural forefathers and then saying that being a farmer is not all you did. Of course not.

I thought pirate means sea-based raiding on land as well, but I'm not sure I used the term correctly.

Did you bother reading the OP?

Then you know leftists who love immigration. It's a package deal. If you vote for it, you vote for all of it, you don't get to pick and chose.

I assume you mean 'at the time'.

No, not really. We still do it nowadays we just call it different things and tend to spend more blood than strictly necessary.

It always struck me as rather unreasonable how much Muslims think that jihad and raiding infidels is a good thing.

Doing so as part of the normal human cycle of warfare, as opposed to doing so because muslims want to make everyone else worship the devil too?

There's a significant moral difference between the two.

Not in English, no. Piracy is ship to ship, and typically involves selling captured cargo and prize vessels. The correct term is sea raiders, or strangely enough, Vikings.

Typically the best defense that could be mustered is to prevent easy landings, but that was not particularly easy at the time given that professional armies basically did not exist and the bulk of most forces were seasonal peasant fyrds, who might as well have just been fodder.

That is in fact why the Danes had such an easy time conquering England at first, because shit-kicking peasants make shittier troops and that was the style of warfare the Saxons used at the time whereas every single Danish man who wasn't a cripple was a seasoned warrior(precisely because they raided all the time to get combat experience).

All too well.

You do know that nearly all American right-wingers who voted, voted for George W. Bush? I guess they also love immigration.

Either. I'm not that fond of robbing people and taking them as slaves.

Not in English, no. Piracy is ship to ship, and typically involves selling captured cargo and prize vessels. The correct term is sea raiders, or strangely enough, Vikings.

Not that strange. Makes sense that it would be named after its best practitioners. Maybe Corsairs?

I guess that would also be why all civilized lands fell so easily to the Mongols, whose hunting experience was great for fighting humans as well.

This is one of those situations about "giving an inch."

I also find almost all people in today's world who harp on and on about being a "Viking" to be cringe and pathetic. Its a fatbellied man with a beard, that often barely has any Scandanavian heritage, trying to larp as a warrior and a badass.

But the Lefties posting shit like this are attacking it both to destroy the cultural legacy of a white nation and/or to tear down men enjoying something that isn't Feminist approved beta male activity.

The Larpers are rarely hurting anyone but their own reputation (and it can work for some men regardless) so I'll still stand by their right to be loudly cringe in this manner.
