They mindraped Mediterranea and everything near it.
IT SEEMS, RATHER, THAT SATAN RAPED YOU.
>>18546467I will never understand what was going through the minds of Nordics and their descendants when they embraced it. You could say it was all downstream of Charlemagne and a desire to salvage the splinters of Rome but that doesn't explain a giant hulking blonde bearded Viking Olaf rowing past icebergs towards a misty British isle eager to explain by point of sword to the other Norsemen living there that they needed to discard the gods of war and magic and mystery they'd hailed for 2000 years and instead follow this slave morality involving exultation of the weak and sick and pitiful, the tempering of pride and strength. Replace Thor with a crucified broken weakling pacifist carpenter slave. What did they think they were spreading?
>>18546484>political class wants to hobnob with the wealthier christian monarchs>drags their people along with them kicking and screamingrichfags always ruin everything
turn the other cheek goyim
Meds don't actually believe in Christianity that much, it's all performative.Anglos however genuinely embraced it and turned it into a recipe for insanity
>>18546467SO TRUE SAAR>*eats cow feces*
>>18546484>I will never understand what was going through the minds of Nordics and their descendants when they embraced it.Assuredly something along the lines of "I want greater wealth and political power."
>>18546488>>18546494My point is that the Orkneyinga saga seems to imply they didn't adopt it cynically for power and prestige. Vikings were willing to row to bumfuck island where only other Norsemen live and persuade (!) them to convert peacefully. I would kill to know how that conversation really went. Saga just says they were immediately convinced to convert.
>>18546515I think it's self-evident why bumfuck people would want to join. Some guy rolls up and tells you that you can get rid of your old pagan deities who are capricious and offer little reward, and instead worship a deity that offers you and your loved ones eternal bliss in paradise for simply believing? Who wouldn't take that deal?
We need a Socratic dialogue but it's a Norseman and a Gothic monk converted by Ulfilas and instead of arguing about analytical nonsense like whether the bread is Christ or Christ is just in the bread, they set out in clear terms how Nordics thought about the world and how it changed enough across the 4th to 12th centuries that they were willingly to sincerely embrace slave morality
>>18546520Alright I concede that for the uncritical masses It was cynical or opportunistic. Or just not a big deal, sure let's knock down the superstitious pagan nonsense about gods living in the rivers and the swans and just believe in one All Father. But say they all received a copy of Geneaology of Morals or were otherwise fed the spiel about slave morality, and the strong, hale, powerful and "evil" submitting to the weak, sick, helpless and "good". How many of them would have had second thoughts? Maybe none
