It is me who connects Norse mythology to the white power movement uh?
|
It is Norse mythology which has been abused on some occasions up through history, but this obviously doesn't allow anyone to make bona fide claims of racism or hate.

Again, I just find it more than a little mildly ironic that out of all the other possible expressions of European cultural traditions you could have chosen, you latch onto the one traditionally embraced by nationalists and neonazis around the globe.

My business partner is from Norway, and Odin is one of the most powerful figures in Norse Mythology.
http://www.ancient-mythology.com/norse/odin.php
Odin is the chef god of Germanic mythology. Son of Bor and Bestla, Odin was risen to favor mostly by the Vikings, and became known as the supreme god in the eighth and ninth centuries. The Vikings admired Odin's love for the battle, as he was known as the "father of the slain". Odin's prominence demonstrates the importance of warfare to Germanic traditions.
Odin loved to cause conflicts and shifts of power. He once aided Harald, a Danish King, instructing him in tactics and granting him victories for years. In the king's final battle, however, Odin took the place of Harald's charioteer and drove the king to his demise.
Although Odin embodied deceit, violence and war, he also embodied many admirable qualities. He was the most knowledgeable god, with a great love for wisdom. He would willingly sacrifice himself for it.
With the threat of Ragnarok, the death of all gods, Odin built the Valhalla, a great hall of the "heroic dead". Odin would then gather heroes and warriors who were slain in battle, and bring them to Valhalla so they would fight alongside the gods on the Vigrid plain, in an attempt to strengthen and save the gods in the final battle against the frost giants at the time of Ragnarok.
Odin was killed by a wolf, Fenrir, a monstrous offspring of the fire god Loki and the frost giantess Angrboda.

It sickens you? What sickens me is you dont have the balls to stand up and yell white power.

White Power is a term I don't use, though depending on the context I may support it. If by White Power you mean European control over non-Whites, I do not support it. However, if by White Power you mean the Nationalism of European people within their own lands, and the right to have control over them, I would.
Anyone else hungry...
