@bonifartius I didn't, I reduced the infusing morality of Norse religion to "recruiting combatants", and I stand by my claim: Norse religion is essentially a "fork" of the Germanic pantheon (in turn a "fork" of the Slavic pantheon) and by cross-referencing them we can see that early Norse religion was more like conventional polytheistic paganism: People picked the god that best embodied their virtue or the favour they wished to curry. (Farmers may pick Thor for his fertility, tricksters may pick Loki, etc. and picking more than one never seems to be frowned upon in these pantheons.)Also regard the burial barrow: Initially left to enshrine the bodies of the dead, and for them to take their "odal" ("inherited, birthright, blood right") objects to their graves with them. These barrows were build large enough so that when you "come again in the kin" (a common European pagan idea), you can re-enter your barrow and retrieve your objects.But by the Viking era, Odin was the definitive head of the pantheon, and there was suddenly posthumous judgement - posthumous judgement that strongly incentivised dying in battle (to go to Valhalla, which does not appear in earlier Norse lore.) In short, as Norse culture adapted to seafaring technologies and poorer land yields by focusing more on raiding other peoples (for wealth, goods, slaves etc.,) dying in battle became the "only" way to achieve an honourable death (at least for men.)It got to the point where old Viking warriors sought out tougher and tougher opponents, so that they could die in battle and join Odin's feast and death-games in Valhalla, awaiting the day when Odin would call them up to fight once more as revenants. (As opposed to the "shame" of dying in your bed.)Voila: Universal morality in Norse religion is the result of the very real need to staff a fighting force.

@bonifartius I don't know why some people find it healthy or useful to parse entire demographics as a singular person for the purposes of assigning blame and responsibility (e.g. all men being responsible for historical and institutional patriarchy.)It makes no fucking sense at all. It doesn't allow for individual differences in worldview, personality, priorities, intelligence, opportunity, etc. It doesn't allow for the fact that people can and do change their minds all the time, jumping one ship for another or striking out on their own to codify a new philosophy.But honestly, I'm at the point where I just let them get on with it, lol. I once saw a top virtue signalling ancom claim that Carl Jung's work was useless based on his ethnic and cultural background, and him being a "universalist" (a gross misunderstanding of his archetypes and collective unconscious models.)It's actively funny. Again, let's bring up the Nazis: to them, psychology was a "Jew science," and even the work of Jung (a non-Jew) was "tainted" by the hand of Freud (a Jew) to them.Learning to separate my hatred of Yaldabaoth/Abrahamic religion from my feelings about the specific people who have, at times, followed that dark path (usually for reasons of having been born into a culture that did so) unlocked a lot of knowledge. If I was still put off by examining the "tainted" I never would have discovered some incredibly useful things."Knowledge hath no enemy but ignorance."

A reminder that according to Geoffrey of Monmouth, this is an illustration of a bronze age Trojan hero fighting the native giants of a wild primordial forest.

@SuricrasiaOnline Yeah well philosophers are "just out here talking about stuff" by their VERY NATURE and yet here YOU are attacking THEM!Just think of the poor philosophers. They would be so sad if they heard that your inability to understand Deleuze meant you wanted them all to work with crippled vocabulary.

@synthgal @SuricrasiaOnline Must you cluster together for comfort? Is reinforcement necessary for your kind?

@synthgal @SuricrasiaOnline I suppose I am being a little unfair by prodding unnecessarily, though.But imagine for a moment I had made a post like: "You know who really needs to have their freedoms curtailed? This [trendy minority.]" It would be Open Season, would it not? Fair game? Paint the huge target on me and throw whatever is to hand, yes?There are many people out there who make their way in the world with their words. Perhaps it was unfair to pick on this particular conversation. I am just sick of seeing people make posts where they "ironically and jokingly" rant about how they wish $SUBSET of people would get their comeuppance and then do that motte-and-bailey retreat into the "It was just a prank bro" zone.What's the point? Must we get our kicks by wishing each other's downfalls? Seems stupid to me.
