They were dumb, dirty and their aesthetics primitive and bland as hell. I don't get it, is it just me?
>>218825710Same reason Mexico and Peru still worship Spain despite had the biggest native populations and empires in the Americas = Rape fetish, vikings raped anglos.
>>218825710i’ll see you in Valhalla bro>>218825945>Mexico and Peru still worship Spainretard they’re half breeds who pretend to be hecking zased Aztecs/Incans and pretend like Quetzalcoatl is real
>>218825710They make the best metal music tho \m/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVvRLwmm2Tg
>medchud seething over nordGODSMany such cases
>>218826045I love the modern-day Nordic countries. I just don't get the Viking hype. They are bland and smell of rotten fish in my mind.
>>218825710America is obsessed with the Old World's culture because it is a relatively new country and struggles to find a collective identity to bond people together.
>brown manlet mad about tall white people
>>218826093Germanic tribes were cool, Vikings meh just medieval pirates
>>218826263pirates are cool doe
>>218825710>They were dumb, dirty and their aesthetics primitive and bland as hell.That's Anglo propaganda and Jewish hollywood optics. Scandinavians had better hygiene and they spent more effort on aesthetics than most Europeans at the time. The actual Vikings who were out raiding of course might have been a bit smelly since they were away from home being part of raiding parties in foreign lands. You would be smelly too if you spent weeks away from home without any modern comforts.
>>218826045For me its greek russian orthodox metal https://youtu.be/79T3DUgYCMYNot metal but in terms of viking larp heilung is great, they do really sing in old norse : https://youtu.be/QRg_8NNPTD8
>>218826307>the crypto-Fennoswede to the rescue
>>218825710Those are low IQ people who dont know that Rome and Greece came up wrote laws and enforced them, with a centralized state who built great infrastructure, but many Americans and Europeans who study even a little bit of history would have more appreciation for Rome and its achievements than for the people who destroyed it.
>>218826263There is nothing cool about destroying Rome
>>218826643Rome was cooked way before that happened, the Germanic tribes were a nuisance more than anything, the Empire slowly crumbled from within due to civil wars and the ruling class becoming more and more complacent with their luxury, tons of Germani migrated within the peninsula and bolstered the armies over the centuries they weren’t seen as complete enemies, especially when the Huns came which caused the humanitarian crisis that ultimately collapsed the Empire Post-Rome Italian history wouldn’t be what it is if the Germani didn’t integrate and have a mutual dependency with the Romans
>>218825710Why a fascination with pirates? That doesn't make sense either.
>>218827272Well yes, I don't like pirates either
>>218826263Pirates are badass and are a part of our history
I worship mommies!
>>218825710But enough about americans
>>218825710We're the modern Vikings
>>218825710Americans have a obsession for one sort of ancient aesthetics every 10 to 20 years.If Odyssey goes well they'll start worshipping bronze age achaeans
>>218825986>Quetzalcoatl is realAll gods are real
>>218826307>Scandinavians had better hygiene and they spent more effort on aesthetics than most Europeans at the time.The only source for that is a arab traveller
>>218827017>tons of Germani migrated within the peninsula and bolstered the armies over the centuries they weren’t seen as complete enemies,A lot of them were actually roman (in the sense of roman citizenship)
>>218825710Because of WWII Nazis adopting the pagan Viking mythos to replace Christianity. Later, yank neonazis continued that belief.
>>218829479It became an obsolete term by the mid Late Anquitity because of how intertwined both cultures were
