Panel 1: The Vikings didn’t have WHITE or NORDIC pride.They didn’t know what the Hel those things were. Image: ‘Trade negotiations in the country of Eastern Slavs.’ (1909) By Sergei Vasilyevich Ivanov.
Panel 2: Racism is the belief that humans are or should be classified into “races”, with criteria usually based on political motives, not reliable scientific data. Race =/= Ethnicity Image: Phrenology Booth, Ohio 1938
Panel 3: This nonsense started in the 1600s, in the American colonies to divide and alienate poor “white” people, indentured servants and African slaves. #GloucesterCountyConspiracy Image: A depiction of the Gloucester County conspiracy
Panel 4: Nordicism, an ideology of racial separatism which viewed Nordics* as an endangered racial group was created much later.In the late 19th century.*Joseph Deniker coined this name for an ethnic group. And also, the term, “ethnic group.” Image: Sigurd and Fafnir (1906)
Panel 5: Such ideas from“racial science”grew in popularity and acceptance throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. Image: Cartoon of Hitler with his trousers pulled down to reveal swastika boxers with the caption: LET’S CATCH HIM WITH HIS “PANZERS” down!
Panel 6: So remember; White Pride has nothing to do with Heathenry or Asatru. You’re just an asshole. Image: Solid black background]
If you ever feel bad about taking a longer time than someone else to accomplish the same things, just remember that during the 1912 Stockholm Olympics Japanese marathon runner Shizo Kanakuri passed out in a garden party along the marathon route and, instead of notifying race officials of his inability to finish the race, he went back to Japan without telling anyone and was considered a missing person by the Swedish authorities for 50 years.
He didn’t finish the race until 1967 when a Swedish television station offered to help him complete the run, and he finished with a final time of 54 years, 8 months, 6 days, 5 hours, 32 minutes and 20.379 seconds.
This post needs the picture of the man finally crossing the finish line.
really the fact of the matter is a gun is the worst defensive weapon. the gun has zero defensive capacity. the gun is utterly minmaxed to offend.
you can block a sword with another sword.you cannot block a bullet with another bullet. that is not a real thing. the only way to ‘protect yourself’ using a gun from another person with a gun is to kill them faster.
which means if the other guy isn’t gentlemanly enough to challenge you to a formal duel, or else to miss the first several times he tries to murder you, it doesn’t matter how many guns you have. you’re dead. you can’t use them.
a much more effective defense strategy against random spree
shooters would be to wear body armor, including a visored helmet, at all times, but that doesn’t
sound nearly as fun as having a death wand in your pocket.
and if you did that people
might think you were crazy.
seriously, this.
i keep saying a gun is just a power tool. it’s not the fucking One Ring. it’s a device for throwing a little pellet very fast, that’s all it is.
and when you think about it like a tool, it’s obvious there are a lot of things it’s absolutely terrible at. defense is definitely one of these. certainly there are situations where throwing a little pellet very fast at someone will stop them attacking you. but that’s not most of the situations. and even in the cases where it could theoretically work you have to do it exactly right, and be lucky, and of course the attacker gets killed. which is terrible in many ways, for you, them, your community, and so forth.
consider other dangerous power tools. a chainsaw, say. a chainsaw is very good at cutting down trees. it is, arguably, the best tool for this. it could also theoretically stop a charging moose, if one came at you while you were cutting down trees. but you could miss the moose, or the process of hitting the moose could kick the chainsaw back at your head and kill you, or you could just feel awful and have nightmares about fountains of moose meat. the chainsaw is not a moose hunting implement. it is for trees.
the firearm is not a defensive implement. it is for offense.

I hear plenty of people wanting to give teachers guns, but not one have I heard who wants to give them body armor.
It’s just almost like the entire argument isn’t actually about protecting people
Even that horrible story about the armed guard(s?) lingering outside during the most recent school shooting. Because they knew a gun would not keep them alive, and we hadn’t provided any of the actual defensive equipment (or gun policies) that might.
I’d also like to add that David Ogden Stiers was closeted until he was 66 years old. He came out in 2009 in the hope that he could have a public relationship with a romantic partner and finally felt it was safe to do so. Fear of professional repercussions made him hide his true self for nearly the whole of his life. It’s rather heart breaking when you consider that he had less than a decade to live his truth.
It’s okay to start feeling better on a day you’ve called out sick.
You might be in a cycle of guilts, telling yourself it obviously wasn’t that bad if you’re doing better. That you could have gone in after all. That you were blowing it out of proportion.
No. Stop.
If you’re feeling better, it’s not because you made the wrong choice. It’s because you stayed home and rested.
That’s what the sick day is for. That means it’s working.
