    Man this fucking sucks for people who really dig Nordic esthetics without being a fucking nazi.

        Tfw you look better bald but regularly let shitty patchy hair grow out because I’d rather look dumpy than like a skinhead

        But it’s great camo if you want to see what it looks like from within the hatemob.

        Surprising Conclusion: A lot more sparse than you think. I’m considering just doing hidden cam stuff as I can blend in crazy good.

      hard right can’t create anything so they adopt, subvert, and corrupt whatever tickles their tendencies.

      They really have no idea what the Nordic peoples live/d like, and their conception comes from comic books and movies.

      I used to study Norse esoterica since the early 90s, love the Eddas, but none of my runestone rubbings are going on my cubicle wall because fashie bois see “Lief carved these” and think I’m one of them.

            I heard from a tattoo artist that the Triforce is one of the most popular tattoos. It’s like the vanilla ice cream of tattoos.

              I haven’t been on 4chan in over a decade, but I don’t remember that crowd being anywhere close to right wing.

                It depends on what boards you frequented. There was also a big influx a few years ago, especially following the closure of places like TheDonald. There are 100% right wing extremists on 4chan, if you know the dog whistles to look for.

                  That actually makes a lot of sense. 4chan is where people go when the mainstream is rejecting them. Turns out we’re the mainstream now!

                Then you don’t remember 4chan or stayed off the main boards. I haven’t been on in close to a decade and they were unironically Nazi post well before I bailed.

            The ADL is not a serious organization but just a lobbyist for an anti-semitic, genocidal cult (aka zionism).

              What do you think happened to the Irish monks?

              They also had a slave economy like every other Norse/Whatever civilization. That’s just how the culture was set up, war, trade, and raid for slaves and pillage to work your fields.

          Rune staves can be free form, that collection is just Icelandic ‘approved’ historical staves which is funny af because they are only about 400 years old at most.

      If this was just some random dude who had no sketchy imagery then yeah I’d be willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. IMO this tattoo doesn’t solely mark the wearer a Nazi.

      However, this man is a cop who, seconds later, murdered pulled his gun on the unarmed black woman in the picture, who was subsequently murdered by his partner for hurting his feelings. He’s a Nazi for sure, he’s probably associated with a Nazi group (besides the cops lol), and he acted out his Nazi power fantasy.

          He also seemed to warn the murderer that his body cam was on (“I’m on, I’m on!!), although too late obviously. He was probably freaked out about that too.

          seemed pretty fucked up about it.

          So did Heinrich Himmler when he personally witnessed one of his self-created mass-murders at Babi Yar in 1941 - not coincidentally, a mass-murder that was mostly perpetrated by bog-standard German police.

          It’s almost like the institution of police was invented from the ground up to act as a kind of filter to concentrate the most venal and vile humanity has to offer and then arm and train them to carry out atrocity after atrocity at the beck and call of whoever is in power.

          So I don’t care if they are “pretty fucked up about it” - the only good pig is a dead one.

          Good catch! Sorry, but I kinda had to psych myself up to really watch this video carefully. But also, fuck him for not de-escalating the situation. He pulled his gun on Massey too, reinforcing his partner’s belief that she was a threat.

          And also just generally fuck him for being a cop and showing up to work that day. IMO the rest of my comment stands.

          the guy who’s arm is in the pic seemed pretty fucked up about it.

          Good. Hope this moment lives with him the rest of his life.

      Eh, I’d argue 17th century but certainly fan art. Those staves are basically the Icelandic version of modern Wicca being related in any way to actual Celt religion.

      But they look cool, and if the function of a symbol is to focus attention and direct thought, then they will probably work as well as any other legitimately ancient symbol system.

      That said, I don’t think this pig was looking for safety while traveling.

      This wasn’t the proven murderer, it’s his partner.

      They’re not going to stop it till they get smacked again, we all know this. Their politicians are literally calling for civil war on live television. I don’t imagine many cops NOT being white nationalists at this point.
