black and asian vikings 100% definitely existed (also, saami vikings)

you know how far you can get into eurasia and africa by sailing up rivers from the baltic and mediterranean seas? pretty fucking far, and that’s what vikings liked to do to trade

then, you know, people are people, so love happens, business happens, and so ppl get married and take spouses back home to the frozen hellscape that is scandinavia (upon which i’m guessing the horrorstruck new spouses went “WHAT THE FUCK??? FUCKING GIVE ME YOUR JACKET???????”)

and sometimes vikings bought thralls and brought them home as well, and i mean, when your indentured service is up after however many years and you’re a free person again, maaaaaaaaaaaaybe it’s a bit hard to get all the way home across the continent, so you make the best out of the situation and you probably get married and raise a gaggle kids

so yeah

viking kingdoms/communities were not uniformly pure white aryan fantasy paradises, so pls stop using my cultural history and ethnic background to excuse your racist discomfort with black ppl playing heimdall and valkyrie

[shrewreadings]

Also we KNOW they got to Asia and Africa. 

Why?

Because Asians, Africans, and Vikings TOLD US SO. 

[note-a-bear]

Also, we know there was significant mercantile trade between Scandinavia and parts of Pakistan, Afghanistan, Northern India, Kashmir, North and Eastern Africa because there is evidence in burial sites.

Check that out: the goods Vikings and Scandinavians were getting from their trade with the rest of the world was so important they buried themselves with it, as part of their treasure hordes.

We KNOW this.

There’s a reason you can still see many of the trade routes from the ancient world etched into the very earth.

[prokopetz]

Plus, we know that some Scandinavian cultures that participated in Viking raids had established minority communities of ethnically Mongolian folks living among them during the periods when such raids were common, and it’s difficult to credit that none of them would have signed on.

[queer-wizard-dad]

Yet another on the pile of reasons why it monumentally honks me off when pusillanimous, pseudointellectual white supremacist scum try to use Scandinavian culture as a crutch for their arguments and act like Norse mythology agrees with their biases. No it fucking doesn’t, bitch. Odin would personally kick you in the dick for being a witless coward and then send your ass to the Realm of the Dishonored Dead.

[armory-rasa]

I don’t usually reblog stuff, but this thread makes me so happy. See, I love the Viking aesthetic – I love the fusion of organic and geometric in its designs, I love the natural colors, the complexity of textures you get from juxtaposing metal/leather/cloth/fur–

–and I hate how the entire subculture has been so thoroughly co-opted by white supremacists. To the point where I, a person who likes viking stuff, am deeply and immediately suspect of anyone else who likes viking stuff, guilty until proven innocent, cuz that’s what the odds are these days.

Anyway.

As far as I’m concerned, anyone can be a viking, and thus I am so, so pleased to find that the historical record backs me up.

(And amused that Arab intellectual Ahmad ibn Fadlan was so thirsty for vikings.)

[coolmariadotcom]

Thank, I thought I was gonna have to add some things, but I’m pretty satisfied. Atleast one Roman dude I know of has been dug out of a viking grave being buried with stuff that both labelled him clearly as of roman ancestry, aswell as integrated into viking life. Muslim coins were found in Sweden. Just. Lots. There’s so much proof of actual logical and interesting stuff. Imagine a society that shut out every other cultural infuence and remain uhhh… “pure”? How boring?? How unrealistic??

God forbid someone try to engage someone they think is attractive.  I guess uggos like us are the only one who can be approached. This post is fucking retarded.

[painfulreal]

This actually makes a lot of sense.  This would allow us to charge higher rates to people who choose to be stupid jackasses and lower rates to people who choose not to be stupid. Insurance shouldn’t care about preexisting conditions. it should care about how you manage your health.  Its insurance for the unfortunate situations that can happen not a guarantee of protection from stupidity. Granted I still think a lot of insurance companies are corrupt as fuck and just out to steal from people with false promises and decption.

[i-hate-chick-fil-a]

Love this thread.

[painfulreal]

I completely disagree. It doesn’t matter if it works.  70% is unjust, unfair, and extortion.  I don’t earn enough to qualify for this 70% tax bracket.  But I have enough sense to know it is stupid.  What would be better is to fix the system, I am for fair taxes and the fairest tax is not taxing income (punishing people work earning) but taxing waste and resource use.  That would be a sales tax, property tax, and corporate tax. 

I am wholeheartedly against income tax.  It hurts people on social welfare programs and we spend more money on managing how taxes relate to these systems and the individuals using them.  It would be cheaper and easier to just not have income tax and instead use a corporate taxes.

That way the more you spend the more you pay.  No one is forcing the rich to spend a lot, but they do.  This way it is their choice and they can’t complain. I am a big believer in increasing the minimum wage to a livable wage that keeps pace with inflation and local cost of living (cause different areas would require a different minimum wage).  The more people on the bottom spending the better the flow of products, work, and resources.

I support capitalism but this statement is still 100% inline with my view of the current socioeconomic environment

[millennial-review-deactivated20]

[painfulreal]

That is all dependent on which state.  In some states you don’t have a choice and have to get coverage in other states you can go without coverage.  Its all about the choice of paying and having coverage or choosing to screw yourself over.  It is not that hard a concept.  As an American I can spell it out pretty simply.  We hate not having the ability to make a choice.  Why do you think we have so many soda sizes, so many fast food joints, so many hate groups?  We want to choose how we fuck ourselves over.

Please help my friend.

My close friend @knox is in a toxic living situation that has boiled over– his house keys have been taken from him by an abusive family member and he is being cut from resources. He needs someplace to go, but he has had the majority of his funds taken away. It’s an emergency situation– if you can donate, please do so now rather than later. Donate at [email protected] on paypal!! Please, he’s one of my closest friends and I just want him to have a home and income again so that we can stay in touch. Thank you!!

this is happening on december 1, it came to a peak around 7 pm est.

my aunt basically has had it with me for buying my friends holiday gifts with my work bonus, claiming that i should be using it to pay for the roof over our head when ive been paying bills and for food, essentially. shes been very volatile for the past year or so and is prone to fits like this, but each one shes eventually backtracked on.

this is the worst its gotten given she actually took my keys away.

im qualified for a web development job paying at least 50k a year, as i recently graduated a very intensive bootcamp, and have been looking for work in this field, but its been difficult as she tends to throw roadblocks in my way - cutting off the internet that i pay for at home and so on and so forth. if i can just find a job, ill be home free, but until then, im basically at her mercy.

im sorry for this.
