Even vodka you're better off getting from poland or Ukraine since its not as likely to get you methanol poisoning.

At the grocery store I worked at I noticed none of our vodka was made in Russia so I asked if we should put up a sign. Now, I don't want to dredge up stuff but I've wondered if all Odinists are also white supremacists. I mean it America it's especially awkward because more American's exposure to Nordic myth is Marvel so it was created by Jews.

Most of the white-supremacist types back their way into it - they're fans of the Nazis, the Nazis adopted a fair bit of Norse symbology, so they get into it that way.


There's plenty of honest heathens (and other varieties of neo-pagan) that don't buy into white supremacy in the slightest. They generally got into the faith because they found more mainstream religions lacking in some way, but needed another way to meet needs for spirituality or community or a host of other elements of the human animal.

There is a growing contingent of Odinists, Nordic inspired and Nordic heathens who loudly reject right wing appropriation of their beliefs. Are there nazis? Yes, but there are people fighting back.

I still wouldn’t advertise that it’s not from Russia, however I would denote origin as if you would denote the origin for every other liquor. You can get the point across without singling anything out or generating some smoothbrained tantrum from some chud.

Being originally German there is a 100% chance that Nazis were actually hardcore catholics. My guess is that the nordic symbology is more of a tie to celtic symbology of old since germanic peoples were celts (and by proxy roman such as the eagle).

Half of Germany is Protestant, including the militaristic Prussians that were such a basis for the unified German state the Nazis took over. And the Germanic people were not Celts, they were Germanic. Celts were Celts. These are two completely different linguistic groups.

Goodness knows folk have already tackled the latter point, but when it comes to the former, the Nazis worked to limit the powers of the Catholic church in Germany while they were in power. There was a distinct anti-Catholic movement within the Nazis (admittedly, nowhere near as strongly as other enacted policies, but still).

Now, I'm not going to say NO Catholics were Nazis, that's stupid. But I wouldn't think a 'hardcore' Catholic would be a Nazi.

...not that that means they would have been a nice person either.

US speeds up Abrams tank delivery to Ukraine war zone

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon is speeding up its delivery of Abrams tanks to Ukraine, opting to send a refurbished older model that can be ready faster, with the aim of getting the 70-ton battle powerhouses to the war zone by the fall, the Pentagon said Tuesday.

The original plan was to send Ukraine 31 of the newer M1A2 Abrams, which could have taken a year or two to build and ship. But officials said the decision was made to send the older M1A1 version, which can be taken from Army stocks. Officials said the M1A1 also will be easier for Ukrainian forces to learn to use and maintain as they fight the invading Russian forces.

“This is about getting this important combat capability into the hands of the Ukrainians sooner rather than later,” said Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder, the Pentagon press secretary.


Possibly completely coincidental... Tonight I was driving across southern AZ and stopped at a rest area along I-8. Noticed a train coming so since I was stretching my legs I wandered over where I could watch it go by... Was surprised to see that it wasn't a typical freight train, rather it was all flatbeds carrying various military vehicles, including at least 28 Abrams (was dark and I may have missed some). Also on the train, a bunch of Humvee's, M113's, Bradley's, and some sort of self propelled artillery (Paladin's?). Also lots of support type vehicles.

Train was headed east.

Now with less breakage.

I sporadically do viking reenactment, and one of the arrangements is a folk metal festival + viking handicrafts market mashup. I can only imagine the amount of background checks and monitoring they do on both the booked bands, the vikings, and the visitors, because I haven't seen anything obviously right wing there (fortunately).

It may help that the vikings tend more "high school history teacher lady nearing retirement age" [literally my mom] and less "angry young man looking for a support group".

I do wonder if we have any actual believing heathens. Probably, but it seems impolite to ask.
