this world cup the norwegians are larping as vikings rowing a boatbut according to historians the norwegian vikings did not row much, instead they sailedit is actually swedish vikings who rowed>Norwegian Vikings made their way across the open sea to the British Isles, to Iceland, Greenland and Vinland (North America), and in such waters oars can't match up to sails.>It was different for Vikings on the Swedish east coast. The Baltic Sea is not very large and Swedish Vikings who wanted to move further had to do so on rivers such as the Dnieper and the Danube. By rowing on these rivers they reached all the way to Gårdarike (Kiev) and (via the Black Sea) to Miklagård (Istanbul).>In the Kiev region they founded a princely dynasty called Rus , which became the origin of the name Russia. I remember a book I read on the subject and finally found historian Mats G Larsson's "The Kingdom of the Rus" on the bookshelf. It says that the Rus people , according to one theory, can be connected to Roslagen in easternmost Central Sweden and that this region in ancient times was called "Roden, a name that has to do with 'rowing'". Those who traveled east across the sea are said to have been called rowers .>In short: the Vikings who set sail from the coast of Norway did just that: sailed, while the Vikings who began their journey on the Swedish east coast soon had to take to the oars.this means that the norgay chant is actually a double larp and double cringethank you for your attention to this matter!

Why are the Norwegians making everyone seethe so much?
No you HAVE to respect the white people haka
>>155713296>there are no rivers in British Isles, to Iceland, Greenland and Vinland (North America)Typical OP IQ
>>155713296Every guardian writer must hang
you don't hate 'journalists' enough
>>155713314because not only are they richer than all of their neighbors, they beat them at every sport despite having a lower population and an accent that sounds silly
>>155713296Not even I am autistic enough to care about this
How can you be one of the multiple blacks in that picture wearing a Norwegian jersey and not get second hand embarrassment?
>>155713337This. The Vikings would lower their masts and rely on rowing to navigate British rivers. Sails aren't ideal for navigating narrow and winding waterways en masse.
>>155713296Same vibe. The leftist media hates nationalism and Whites and anything positive that doesn't involve POC, LGBTQ+, etc.>The Feel-Good Story of the World Cup Is Too Good to Be True>Some of the people celebrating American excess are not what they seem.https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/2026/06/world-cup-tourists-america/687572/
>>155713506Not everything is about YOUR petty culture wars dumbass
>>155713296didn't you learn anything from that 2020 SAS campaign:"NOTHING IS SWEDISH, THERE IS NO SWEDISH CULTURE, SWEDES ARE WORTHLESS"
>>155713530>Scandinavian Airlines
>>155713506paywalled, but I think by now everyone knows the Ranch Dressing thing was fake af
>>155713558uh ...that's literally SAS SAS = Scandinavian Airlines System
>>155713620The ad was about Scandinavia, not Sweden particularly
I also learned from a south korean that it wasn't vikings doing the rowing, but slaves called thralls
>>155713661Fun fact thrall only has its own name because serfs and slaves were considered the same
>>155713529You seem neither smart nor nice. Sux 4 u. Anyway, you failed to notice, as I'm sure happens often, that the left started the culture wars and the article I posted is a prime example of that. Completely law-abiding happy people are celebrating their heritage and media leaps to attack it. For your own benefit, learn something.
>>155713296Africans historically had no chairs. When they park the bus, they should be standing.
>journalist listens to history book on audible once and writes ragebait
So... It's swedish cultural appropriation?
>>155713296HOLY SEETHE
>>155713888no, both of our countries used row boats. there are multiple arcehological finds of viking age row boats from norwaythe journalist in this article seems to claim that sweden used row boats more than us, therefore they have the claim or some stupid bullshitit's nothing more than engagement bait
>>155713918cope
>>155713944>>155713918All aboard!
>>155713530How much do I have to pay for her to slap and punch me.
>>155713296who the fuck cares lmao
>>155713314Same reason the scots do every time you beat the english at something.We've been the runts of scandinavia sine the black death killed off most of us, been owned or bullied by the swedes and danes ever since.Then suddenly we pull ourselves up and start beating them at stuff and they simply cannot handle it.Like the english they see themselves as vastly superior due to history and can't handle being put in their place however occasionally it is.
>>155713296Cringe article, imagine being so butthurt your write this shit. At least Norwegians actually got some patriotism and able to act on it, even if the viking larp is a bit too much. That shit is none existant here after the 2010's and only self hatred exist.
>>155713296>UHMMM ACKSHUALLYYYYYYWhite people are reddit
>>155714919
>>155713314any form of patriotism is controversial in this retarded time
classic swedish win
>>155715096Could be worse.
>norwegians make leftist seethe>for some reason nu/sp/ hates norwayreally makes one think and wonder and ponder
>>155715204So true
>>155713296Are nordics this autistic and nitpicky over every minor rivalry?Why don't Swedes make up their own shit instead of complaining about Norwegian shit.
>>155714919know your place.
>>155715627No, its israelis ragebaiting Europeans via media. It even looks like it was published on the Guardian, a pro-jewish supremacy newspaper in the UK.
>>155713296the great mass reminding of 2026>>155713314hispanics can't self insert as nords only as meds, their whiteness makes them mad+ some scandi infighting autism
Norwegians engage in whaling, so we Japanese have a good image on Norway.
>>155713296Trying to take rowing away from us now lol.We still have a children's rhyme, essentially our version of eenie meenie miney mo that is likely from the 8th century focused on, you guessed it, rowing. This is the first part:>Elle melle deg fortelle skipet går, ut i år, rygg i rand, to i spann>Ilden melder deg at skipet går ut i år, rygg til rygg ror vi to og to.Translated to english the rhyme says that by fire(signals) we rapport that the ships will sail this year, back to back, two per row.Back to back and two per row would be the rowing arrangement on raiding ships of the time. Insane to insinuate that we were not the ones on the seas rowing, the record for rowing across the Atlantic still belong to two Norwegians who did it on a whim. While faster times have been posted in later years, the record for two people still belong to them.>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Samuelsen_and_George_Harbo
>>155713296WE WUZ ROWERS AND SHIEEET
Whaling is a culturally important industry, lineage back to the viking age. You aren't a true viking country if you don't kill whales.
>>155720946Honestly, it's weird how much burgers adore whales. It's a sea cow, yet they go insane over them.
>>155713296it's just a bit of funwho gives a shit
>>155721497it helps us feel less guilty about the way we treat other animals

>>155713296denmark are the actual 'vikings' though. also viking was a profession. like a farmer or carpenter.
>>155714789You have to find a way to insert yourself into that AI slop to make that a "reality">>155715627>Are nordics this autistic and nitpicky over every minor rivalry?Yes. Fuck Norway and most of all FUCK Denmark.
>>155713296ruotsi

>>155713296>some guy, who is a journalist and therefore a member of the most subhumanly retarded and pathetic and braindead profession, wrote a headline therefore it's automatically fact because reddit took over the worldprobably not
>>155713314>>155714919I simply don't think Norway deserves to be its own country.
Historians said that Alexander was black, so who cares
