Interesting that Viking battle-axes used to rape and pillage defenceless seaside villages are fetishised by some Scandanavians/Europeans/Americans today as “rad” and “totally awesome as fuck” – that’s truly sick.

And, it is probably part of the broader psychological denial of the gruesome history of bloody violence, on which modern Western capitalist hegemony is founded. a-little-trolling
