The reason he's always in those faux military outfits is because zelensky has more sponsorships than a formula 1 driver, and rumours are a neo-Nazi clothing company (CW: lots of Nazi imagery in that article, obviously) set him up with a deal to wear them.
Have to admit, if these weren't fash I'd say some of these patches go hard (CW: Nazi shit)
It sucks that viking iconography looks sick
Sucks that vikings are a fash thing now
From my understanding, viking (as a verb) was when Norse fail-second-sons slaughtered, raped, looted, and enslaved coastal villages in order to establish their own fortune back home. That sucks.
Pretty much every ancient society had fail-son bands going around raiding shit, idk why the Norse get singled out for it any more than Gaels or Lakota or Scythians.
Is it because they did it to the British and the French who were literate enough to write about it and ended up becoming powerful enough for their historical beefs to matter?
Sure, but pop culture has confounded going viking with Norse culture at large.
True. But like with most ancient cultures, most were just fucking goat farmers or whatever. Their mythology is cool tho.
It bugs me that we only know the post-Christianization version of their religion. Hence Odin getting hung on a not-cross
I was really sad when I learned that the story about a crossdressing Thor pretending to marry a Jotun is possibly a Christian parody made to ridicule and insult their competition.
The history of religion is basically every religion accusing every other religion of gay orgies and eating babies
The same way Slavic anti-communists begged daddy Germany to come protec them from da evil commies, modern Slavic pagan Nazi nerds worship the gods of Germanic slavers.
