Quote above is actually pointing out next very important issue - there's pretty many people stating that they preserv, admire, worship (whatever) culture actually doing nothing. I'm not judgeing, just saying that if one likes few "viking" movies and have key ring with little "Thors hammare" it does not mean that he tries to keep alive viking culture. Kind of, what we call them in my homeland, "academic fuckers" - they talk much, seems like they even know much about it but actually they never try:) Slava!
If you try hard enough, charcoal can be relit, and it burns hotter than before. Tradition is only lost if we forget it, and there is no evidence of it's existence.
I’m an African American female who really loves learning about history and different cultures and it sickens me how people attack European culture and history. Yes, there were bad moments but Europeans aren’t the only ones to do bad things. Every group of people should be proud of their heritage and every group of people shouldn’t be forced to apologize for something that their ancestors did. Nice work, Peace.
When I was in the Canadian Army, I had a couple of opportunities working with our NATO allies. I found that the Norwegian Soldiers were quite proud of their Viking heritage. They were top notch soldiers, and I would gladly stand beside them any day. Every culture has had evil things done to them, and had perpetrated evil upon others so none of us are innocent. What we need to do is learn from it and move on. Cancelling it will lead to forgetting it, and a people who do not know where they came from are lost.
My three grates grandparents came from Germany and didn't really past down much of the culture and we all know Germany messed up but I also know that isn't the real caricature of that group of people so I can proudly say I'm part German.
Same thing is happening here in America anybody that self-sufficient the authorities somehow wind up shooting as a threat to everybody else or as an example to everybody else to stay in line I refuse I'd rather be shot too
@Alt Voices Portal One of the best examples I've seen of this happened in Finland around 1000AD. Finland had, or has, a rich cultural history that dates back to the end of the ice age, or over 10k years... but good luck finding it after an attempt at genocide occurred around 900 to 1100AD, destroying records of history, disbanding their way of government, destroying their written word, and even some forms of architecture, but ultimately forcing their society fall under Vatican rule. Never heard of this before? I wonder why? Robert Sephur is an anthropologist who has done extensive research on the forced amnesia of many cultures, and his channel is worth listening to also. I know we sometimes disregard oral history over written text, but sometimes that's the only way to preserve it. I hope Bjorn keeps the channel going, he has my support, and my encouragement to keep the faith... we are listening.
@Alt Voices Portal I appreciate the information. I do need to make a correction... the anthropologist I referred to spells his last name Sepehr, not Sephur... my bad .
I would not say cant, but instead.... Wont. Arrogance towards a belief system and lifestyle is damaging no matter what side of the fence you are on. Our culture, beliefs and choices work with nature which ultimately cannot be tested by the new way of thinking you can discredit or disprove anything you dont like. Anyone, regardless of racial bearing or cultural bearing can embrace the things that are good and is not a sole proprietorship of any people.
I am native indigenous from Alaska, my ancestors were semi-nomadic hunter/gatherers, and we were (and still are) people of the land. I love how you said at the beginning of the video that we belong to the land. You've spoken in your video of how your culture is being taken from you, we've seen it happen to us as well. We speak mainly English and we have faith brought from "white man" (I was raised by faith of the church and raised a part of the land as well). I feel saddened to see a lot of my people lose their connection to the land. When I tell stories of myself going off to walk on my own that gives rise to a spook feeling in others and I just tell them "you don't need to be afraid of the country, of the land. Just believe that you are a part of it, that you have a right to be there just like the animals do (and have respect for the land of course), you've nothing to fear". I love going off to walk in the wilderness on my own as well. Cheers, brother from another land and another ethnicity. Your land looks like it would be enchanting to walk amongst.

Its like an abusive relationship. In order to exploit you, they keep you down, make you feel shitty, dont give you credit for anything, blame you for everything. F*ck that. Be proud! 💪🏻
And honestly, can we all not acknowledge that pillaging, raiding, war, etc were bad things and are good to be left in the past and at the same time appreciate what is the culture in itself ( the myths, the festivities, the symbols, the clothes,the food, art, etc)? People tend to mix bad things that were done in the past with actual culture, like, murder was never cultural you can still do the rituals that included a sacrifice changing the sacrifice for something symbolic, a change that was already done centuries ago because at some point they realized killing healthy people in rituals was not very productive and was bad.
I wouldnt say they were the BEST. Other cultures before or after the Norse were incredible raiders/military tacticians. However this isnt to discredit vikingrs in any way. They were largely a rural society but their warriors' way of life and cunning drove them to successfully invade new lands. They did however have the luck of attacking during the dark ages, where their adversaries were weakened from civil war, intellectual decline, and illness. I have a newfound respect and love for Norse/vikingr culture but we have to acknowledge that the heathen army wouldve never made the ground they did in England if the romans had never left. If they had landed in a unified England(suppose England never fell apart during the dark ages), I doubt they wouldve gained anything but a homefront invasion and a Christian king.
@@thegardenofeve it's going on because many sheeple accept this. If we do not accept it, it will not happen. Its actually quite simple. People have forgotten the power they actually have.
This is a fight everyone of European heritage is waking up to. Each nation, state, county, and town is going to have to have this battle. I hope it goes well for all of us.
There is no hope to doin well with, a fight such as this. We either win or keep our sheepish heads in the sand. Our "leaders" need us we dont need them. Long over due that societal structure is revamped. "It is what it is!" Only because we allow "it"!
Culture and tribalism is natural and healthy and the one thing under constant threat of attack if not full on assault, because without it, you are easier to enslave and control.
My parents immigrated to 🇨🇦 With my 4 older siblings , I was born in 🇨🇦, my nephew who is 1/2 European 1/4 indigenous 1/4 native Hawaiian , hates white people, period we are a disease on the world , when we bring up that his grandmother is straight off the boat from Scotland and that I’m white as well does he hates us ? We’re told that we’re stupid and making no sense , since that’s not the same 🤷♀️ my daughter is a police officer and he has stated that ALL police and their families should be killed , and we point out that that means we , his cousins , mother , and even himself, were all stupid and not making a good argument,🤷♀️🤔
I’m an African American Christian myself and I want to say I’m glad you have found peace in your faith as that’s what I believe. Your a very soft spoken person and seem like a genuine good person, I have no idea why people today will try to destroy peoples cultures and faiths only to satisfy their own messed up agenda. I am a history buff and learned about many cultures. Everyone has their dark moments and great triumphs and it would be ridiculous to to pretend otherwise. You keep being you man, and I’ll be praying for all this negativity to cool down.
First of all, you don´t need to appologies for beeing a Norse. Me, I was a member of the german navy and we often sailed to northern shores. When ever we sailed into one of your fjords, may it be in Sweden or Norway. For me it was kind of comming home. It´s like the lands welcome a lost son. ( I can´t really explain that feeling. But it touches me deeply. Even now, when I see pictures or videos from this great landscapes it brings me to tears. Makes me kind of homesick.) These vikings, the Norse culture, had done a deep impact on Europe for hundreds of years. If your rejecting this facts you just reject your ancestry. They founded many cities, like Dublin f.e. settled around the world, they build more then they destroyed. Driven by honour, bravery and worship of their Gods. So this "vikings" and me got some things in common. We both were sailors and warriors ;-) (Me I´m a Larper now, sounds crazy. But it´s the only way allowed to become what I really am, just a Norseman.) So stay safe and healthy and be proud of what you are.
By definition you area viking. Viking was more of an adjective or verb. Vinkingr was the noun. To viking was to explore, or fight. So you are both my brother. Not everyone has it genetically but you would've been welcomed then as I welcome you now
@@usa1492djt it is large groups of people who go through a war scenario. There are different versions; some have magic and elves roleplay, some are much more realistic. Its a way to enjoy the feeling of a battle without anyone trying to actually physically hurt you
Nice comment! I think it perfectly reasonable that you may have been a viking brother in an earlier life.. and that you were coming home in a sense. What we are drawn towards, usually has an explanation rooted in former experience. Skål frende! PS: Sweden have no "true" fjords, with mountains perched high above them, so you must have been a Norwegian 👍
“ They “ don’t matter, nor does their opinion. I’m not Scandinavian at all but have huge respect for your culture. I recognize it’s value and appreciate it. Much love from the U.S. Bjorn. Praying that you get relief from the migraines brother. Keep up the good work 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Not his culture, to be precise. But the culture and what remains of it. The Norse have been keen to keep such a thing close and I admire it. Remember the lessons our grandfathers taught.
@@niallebhann3631 I understand. My thinking is that 14th century was different from 11th too... so when we're talking about traditional culture it's the stuff that continues on through the generations in spite of the centuries giving way to more centuries. This is also why I think the 13th Century sagas are perfectly legitimate records of Viking culture, since the people _were still vikings_! :) Some people don't trust the 13th Century sagas, but I think they are going too far. For example, the 20th Century English author Tolkien I think did a pretty good job of writing his sagas in the Old Anglo-Saxon tradition. It's not "the same" but it's definitely within the tradition, and does a good job of presenting it for a modern audience. I'll add that Bjorn too is a perfectly legitimate representative of Viking culture for the modern age. He speaks the same language as the Vikings (it has changed but it is still fundamentally the same language), he lives in the same land and the same country (Norway) as his Viking ancestors. Basically, I think he's a perfectly legitimate representative of the tradition and I can't wait until his books are translated into English or French so I can read them!
I am a chicano/mutt. I stand by anyone wanting to learn, appreciate, and teach their history. I am tired of the resets, rewriting, and erasing of history. I dont even know what I am fully mixed with, besides spanish, and indigenous mexican and american. People should be able to appreciate and hold onto their cultures. The technocratic nwo doesnt want that.
Agreed. I am of Filipino decent and I've recently become curious about Norse culture as I resonate with their perception of nature and I admire their strong spirituality. I also saw the similarities in how their beliefs were deemed blasphemous in the eyes of Christianity like so many other precious beliefs in ancient times, I was sad and surprised when I discovered that Viking culture is still attacked or misinterpreted in this generation. I feel powerless at the face of hate and anger, I believe we have so much to learn from each other... The lores, tales, culture and system of the Norse inspires strength, nobility and resilience, to me. @Bjorn Andreas Bull-Hansen Thank you for expressing your thoughts, keep the discussion alive.
I m very glad that you applaud such vision of searching for native cultures. I've seen it as a human right to search for one's own roots and belonging. There are some ppl who need it more in their life and some who need it less in their life but I guess that most ppl need it one way or another. Despite that viking tribes and slavic tribes were fighting for land in early medieval age today Poles very much like vikings culture. And in the past the area of Baltic Sea was the area of our mutual contacts and trades and the settlements around Baltic Sea were mostly international with both Scandinavian and Slavic tribes in them. The warriors and tradesmen, craftsmen and sailors - Scandinavian, Slavic, even Irish - got their jobs around Baltic Sea in many fortresses and settlements.
Basically, the people behind this animosity want to erase any tradition that is a source of beliefs or values which may interfere with remaking humanity into a bunch of undifferentiated tools of the state. Hostility is directed especially to any tradition that places importance on individual initiative and resourcefulness, as people who embrace such traditions are walking examples to others that the state is NOT necessary as a source of guidance.
Don´t worry, your brothers in Iceland codefied the Viking history, culture and religion. The manuscripts are kept in fortified buildings. They can´t be changed.
Nobody wants to change them. None of the scandinavian countries are ashamed of there viking past. We are by far more proud of it than our christian past. Sure there is a few weirdos, but noone takes them seriously.
100% correct. That's why this woke business (just like communism) will never last, because it's so full of contradictions that deep down nobody really believes in the lies that are pushed anymore.
Sooo true. Wellsaid. Despite the fact that, yes, every global culture, or select members thereof, participated in some truly “barbaric/hideous acts”, we must seek to understand their actual contributions and remember to judge “barbarity’s” in the realistic context of what was “standard practice” of that time and place. We cannot childish-simply take the conditions from “isolated prosperity bubbles of modernity” and “simply transpose them by force” on preceding ages and places in our rabidly critical wackjob imaginations. “Sorry!!!”.
My grandmother was from Norway and grandfather was from Sweden. Even being removed from the Nordic countries for over 100 years, I still feel my Viking heritage. I'll never apologize for my ancestral past.
I’m in a similar situation. My family line came to America 100 years ago during the great Scandinavian migration. On my fathers side is Danish and mother’s side is Swedish. It feels amazing to realize your ancestral past. My family got pretty Americanized I had to bring back a lot of the culture to my family. I still love America but I won’t let go my ancestors where and where they came from. I have Viking Ancestors. I’m hella proud to have a legit and rich culture.
I'm mostly English in Ancestory (both Anglo-Saxon and Norman) and my feelings are basically; my ancestors kicked ass, fuck ya if you don't like it. That's how the world was then and probably will be again.
My father's grandparents were from Sweden and my mother's parents were from Russia. They all came to the US around the turn of the last century. They were hardy and hard working people, self reliant and never took a hand out..there was none to be had.
Same here , THE VIKINGS ARE THE GREATEST AND THE IRISH WHOM THEY MIXED, WE ARE A POWERFUL PEOPLE AND MAGICAL PEOPLES ! AND THE WELSH IS THE DRAGON! THE DRAGON IS THE VIKINGS! IMHO!
When you said "The forest heals" i completely agree. There was a time when i dove deep into learning Viking tradition and when I did I really absorbed the importance of nature and i took it to heart. Nature absolutely heals, its the clean energies within. It balances your energies and brings you back to equilibrium. Since then EVERY morning ive been going out barefoot on the wet grass and earth to ground myself. 1000% difference.There is without a doubt a connectedness with mother earth. Im sure youll understand. Its not just the Vikings theyre trying discredit. Its is literally every white culture around world.
@You understud a lot already. The germanic tribes had no gods like Odin, Thor, Wotan, Donar etc. These Bullshit was created by the Vatican to blame us as Barbarians. The Germanic tribes highly respected the Nature, caused they knew without the Nature the would not exist. Their Holy Tree was the: Eih = Althochdeutsch Eich = Mittelhochdeutsch Eiche = Hochdeutsch today Aig, or Aik = Indogermanic Eik = Norwegian today Oak = English The Question is why was the Oak holy? Before the Iceage (Fimbul Winters) we had in Northern- and Central Europe tropical Climate, so the Nature provided us with fruits the entire year, we was entirely fruitarians. After a huge Cataclysm for Ex a Pole Shift brought everything upside down and created the Icetime less fruits and winters came, so without the Acorn, Oaknut, Eichel we could not survive. Anyway as it got year by year colder we had to leave Northern- and Central Europe heading East and Southeast. After the Icetime we came back to our roots. Indogermanic dont exist this is all germanic aka Hyperborean. The most of the politically correct Scientists just Lying to us.
@@aguyithink4119 yup. Fortunatly a lot kept the old traditions. Like in Scandinavia our Christmas always kept a lot of pagan elements.people wouldnt let it go completly
@@TheBarser not a very pagan fella myself ( at least, compared to most Christians) but glad for that too. No culture deserves to be removed from history.
I've been interested in history of the middle ages since my childhood. And I'm soooo frustrated that ppl in Germany think you're a Nazi only because you're interested in viking and/or celtic culture :-/
I'm African-American. I find Viking culture to be absolutely fascinating. About a year ago, I got into studying the origins and evolution of the English language, and learning about the Norse influences that developed through the centuries. It's all a part of learning about and appreciating humanity, as far as I am concerned.
I'm scottish and when Bjorn speaks you really hear how similar it sounds to scots, Kald is the word for cold in Norwegian and we say it here when its Cauld or Cald also with same meaning a lot of pronunciation is the same. The scots actually are known for speaking the engish language better than the English haha old scots is like a different language but its dying unfortunately, when u go up north here its like a different language also its amazing how many dialects of scots alone for such a small place.:)
@@kali4027 And in the Netherlands we say 'Koud' when it's cold. Germans, Scandinavians, and the people living in the whole of England are connected like far off cousins.
We are All apart of the Human Family, and each culture has something beautiful and wise to teach us all, in appreciation of our different ways and the similarities we will always have as one Human family on Earth
@@dougburton27 Even some of Slavic mythology has echoes of norse mythology in them. Greek mythology too. It's all connected and it's so beautiful. It's why it's such a misunderstanding for people to talk about what thing belongs where. It belongs to all of us because it came from all of us and we all influenced each other in different ways and we continue to do so
I'm Indian American (parents origin northern India), and I LOVE learning about other cultures and history and particularly fascinated with the old Norse/Viking culture. People should be free to explore their own culture and be proud of who they are. This whole woke mentality is the most unconscious mentality. I have no idea how they took this term woke which is meant for someone self aware and compassionate and not a victim mindset. And they are the most aggressive, intolerant, victim minded people. You are not alone in how you feel, many of us stand with you.
Actually, if we are being prudent, "Woke" is just another way of saying "Awake". In sentence form one could say, "I woke up early this morning" or "I woke to the sound of a loud noise", or "My sibling woke me up on Christmas morning to open gifts". Its only recently been used out of context to explain someone who is brainwashed or indoctrinated by Globalist Socialist Collectivist ideals such as Marxism and Fascism. They believe they have awakened to truths, but have only been mentally enslaved to propaganda. Other than that you are correct about how aggressive, intolerant, and victim minded etc, these rage mobs of lunatics are.
The evil ones always hi-jack good words and symbols. They twist all of that good energy into something corrupt that they can use for their own agendas.
“In the last days, good shall be called evil and evil good...” Of course they use woke for describing unconscious, unlistening victims. And of course likewise, they use awful, derogatory terms to describe the compassionate, strong, sensitive, successful people who would liberate others from their victim mindset.

"This is my church - nature" is a message that should be spread around the world:) Respect for all traditional and old cultures, and the people that were more connected to nature
As long as you respect my desire to stay as far away from nature as I can get, I am all for respecting other people's desire to get as close to it as they can.
I am from Mexico and I adore the Viking culture, my beliefs are guided by that too. what one believes has no limit, man is the one who sets borders and distances us more and more.

In other words, I feel many people do respect your culture much.
This actually arrived at the right time. We did a dna test because we've always been one to try and unravel all our history. Me especially. Turns out we have a lot of Norse, Swedish, Celt, etc. And when I saw my eyes were pretty common too - I nearly cried. I have green green eyes with black rings around the iris and I've been told they're scary sometimes. And my mother and her mother said that yes, we come from a line of Vikings. And I started tearing up listening to this.

I'm an American now but as far as I can tell, my ancestors were British and prior to that, either Scottish or German. So I guess that means in order to celebrate my heritage, I have to get pissed and fight you all! Just kidding, I love the various cultures, from Viking to Mayan, to British and Aboriginal Australians. Such rich stories and traditions, all worth keeping alive and celebrating.
As an Iraqi living in Sweden, I couldn't agree more with you. If us Iraqis didn't let our country and culture go to shit, we wouldn't be where we are today - in the toilet. And what troubles me is, when I say the thing you say, here in politically correct Sweden, I get called a nazi. By Swedes. Swedes call me, an arab, a nazi, for supporting the idea of loving your country along with its culture, history and pedigree. It's terrifying. Truly terrifying.

The Norse culture is really a Germanic culture too.

It is quite terrible that some people go out of their way to make others lives miserable. We should help uplift each other. Thank you for taking the time to speak up about this.
Neo paganism is not a religion, it’s just a reconstructionist LARP. Why do so many neopagans also outright ignore and disregard the fact that the Vikings converted to Christianity? Many of the most well known and famous Vikings were Christians; quite a few are also holy saints. “We honour ancestors…” Yeah, all except your Christian ones. Who cares about them, right? Those you mock and degrade and piss upon their legacies…amirite?
Genuinely curious on how you feel connected without those ties to the people and their lands? I'm not being mean, I do have those ties,but I've been shunned before.
You were just speaking it as I was about to type it. Lol. Its mainly because we're white, and also because the viking culture teaches responsibility and ownership .

the way Bjorn describes being almost able to hear the whispers in the trees telling him he belongs to this land was incredibly powerful. I don't have this attachment to any particular place, but often have the same feeling when I'm out in the natural world. Eloquently put, Bjorn. Thank you for sharing.
I admire and appreciate many different and beautiful environments, both in the UK and abroad, but I only get "that" feeling on the chalk downlands that my family (both sides) have lived on for centuries.
I can seriously understand and relate to what you're saying, Bjorn. Speaking as an African-American, I hate when people (especially other African-Americans) try to limit and stereotype me by saying things like "If you take up any other interest other that Basketball or listen to any other types of music other that Hip Hop and R & B, then you're trying to be White." Famous African-Americans including Dr. Don Shirley (A Pianist), Tennis legend, Arthur Ashe (who I've met in person) and Golf Pro, Tiger Woods have put up with that same nonsense. Speaking for myself, I'm a well cultured person, who enjoys learning about different cultures and languages. In fact, I've recently gained an interest in learning about the Norse/Viking culture after watching some of your videos and the first season of the TV series, "Vikings." I wouldn't let the "Woke Sheep" upset you, Bjorn. A wise man once said, "You can't cure the Ignorant."

I feel you, my surname is Nel from an old Norse word Njal. Living in South-Africa as an European African. We even have our own Language called Afrikaans, people said it will die out, but I am telling you it will never happen, its the youngest language and still has a bright future, our Norse blood will never fade, we will go on and on our pride is born into us! We are one of 11 official languages in South-Africa and if we can survive as a nation you will definitely make it and its nice to see that you keep your culture going, we all need to do the same.

@@peterpoulsen1210 conquered you mean, and let's be honest they weren't the first or the last. Also important to keep in mind that by the standards of the time and measuring them against some of their successors the Romans were a troop of Boy Scouts. For example the Mughal Empire in India slaughtered people on a scale rivaled only by the dictatorships of the 20th century and they did so with medieval technology. Sure the Romans were bastards but would you rather be a Roman peasant or a Spartan helot? Would you prefer your city be captured by Roman legionaries or Mongols? Would you be better off in Gaul under Julius Caesar? Or in the Levant under Muhammad?

Vikings at one time had conquered most of the known world. And really it was all about trading rights and not as violent as you'd think. They were essentially travelling merchants. Mix of Celtic and traditional people of Scandinavia. Pretty interesting history really.
These people bring nothing of benefit to society, they merely attempt to denigrate the achievements of others. Let them rant impotently into their empty world, they are nothing.
"They" are trying to destroy anything with European/Norse heritage. And I don't know why. They are trying to steal our way of life from us. Be proud of your heritage, Be proud of your ancestors. Make your ancestors proud! Love your channel Bjorn
The reason why is for control. So, if you can make people feel ashamed of what their ancestors did, they will maybe be easier to control. It is pretty hard to control a proud, self reliant person.
Mostly what you speak of as British, Germanic and Danes is cultural and not racial, we're the same race/Subspecies which is why we can work together and get along!
Currently binge watching anything I can find on the Vikings as my family came over from Norway and we keep discovering more and more heritage from the there abd the surrounding areas. I have such a string calling to places over there I’ve never been. Certain songs in the language will bring me to tears and I’m not even sure why. But what saddens me the most is that my parents never had any traditions to pass down and now as the mother of two boys with Scandinavian/viking heritage, it makes me so sad I have nothing to pass down to them about it. Every time i try to dig more into it or express how proud I am of my heritage, people always try and make me feel bad or just say to forget it. But I can’t. It calls to me all the time even tho my family seems to have stopped all gm traditions when there came to America. I don’t feel at home here at all :(
I am Latin but I am infatuated with Norse ways! To me it is the best way to make your life fully functional and honorable! I value the Norse values to my core!
They also constantly attack Hungarian culture, and probably all other traditional European cultures too. If they destroy our past, we will be like trees without roots, and it will be easier to make us disappear. Don't let yourselves to be demoralized, the European Civilization is our heritage.

Hi, this is strange... I've had the same thought for years "You belong to this land" although I'm mostly Scots but was not brought up on the Scots patch but I know it's in my DNA. My Dad's father had reddish colour hair. Same thing, people, mountains and trees are the pull I think. Scots people are definitely different to the English in the south. I think there is something to it and these hidden "elites" know that and try to sever it, like you said Mr H. For decades, in my mind's eye looked over the water towards Scandinavia for some reason but never knew why. These "elites" behind it are envious, I agree and they always go after folk who are close to their ancestral lands still. Look at the Native Americans. Some Scots were moved as well about 150 years ago, in the land clearance so the rich could get richer. All for a quick cash in. I despise them all, all they have done is try to remove us from ourselves, bit by bit. They use that old tactic of saying we are migrants and not the original people. They are sharks. I appreciate the Norse folk and culture, they added their own to other lands as well, like Scotland and east Anglia in England. We have an east coast county called Norfolk (Nor-folk). Lots of towns and villages on the east coast with names that end with "ick" or "wich" like Harwich, Norwich, Walberswick. There's the Jorvik Viking museum in York as well. Look at Iceland. Tough, hardy folk.
Gaelic Scott's has some Norse words in it and I noticed you still call a shop buth a word I found in a 100 year Old Norse Dictionary. I discovered I have DNA from the Lowlands and Ulster Scott's. I hate it how they are targeting the young to disconnect them from the past. Slán 👍🇮🇪
I just don't get it man. People mix race with culture, they believe that because you are white you have no culture. That somehow being white means that you share the same bloodline, same beliefs, same culture as other white people. By that same logic could I say that all Black people are of the same culture? That someone from South Africa is exactly like someone from Michigan. Or that a Korean person is the exact same as a Japanese person? They aren't alike, they are very much different and distinct from one another and to even say they are the same would be a disservice to their entire culture. The Norse culture has always interested me, and while I don't know my exact lineage or what I consist of culturally I still very much love the Norse Culture. Anyone who tries to rewrite history, discredit a culture or just try to obliterate it is evil. To deny our roots, our heritage, our forefathers is to spit in their face. Period.
Marxist will never see reality or admit, that there are many different cultures for very different people who have white skin. Marxist dogmatism, hatred, and racism, is there virtue.
@@VentureHolly What do you mean their race is their culture? That's prejudice at best and racist at worst. That's what my whole argument was dismantling. Race DOES NOT equal culture. Culture is the beliefs and actions of a large social group or just a group of people in general. That doesn't limit it to only someone of a certain race, you don't have to be white to be Swedish, German or Norwegian. Would you tell a black person born and raised in Sweden that culturally he is the same as someone from South Africa? If race did equal culture then all Asians would be the same, all white people would be the same and all black people would be the same. It may be true that people can have similar roots, that does not mean they are similar in any other way. Libyans are not the same as Angolans and Nigerians are not the same as Zambians. Again, to say otherwise is a disservice to everything they believe in.
I am unsure of my ancestry. My last name was changed a few generations ago. I’m not sure is I am German, Polish, Russian, Prussian, Finnish, or Scandinavian, but I really appreciate that you said you can connect to this even without this ancestry. I have come to find a strong connection to Norse, Viking, and Scandinavian history, culture, roots, etc. I feel called to it in many ways… I am on your side. Viking culture is incredibly important to many people. It’s important to me. Thank you for this video. It means a lot to me.
Has to do with the brutality of the vikings during the ancient and middle ages. Unfortunately everyone forgets that the rest of the world was just as, if not more barbaric.
They were barbaric...depends with what other culture you compare them to in their same time. At least the allowed women to divorce their husband while in most other cultures that only happened if the husband decided it, the woman could not. They were also very clean and hygienic compared to other cultures of their same time.
@@anonymousmobster2444 Life is brutality, we need to aknowledge the violence that is life. Its that soft feminine culture that wants to get rid of masculinity itself which is the problem here. Dont you see the pattern in culture? Everything remotely masculine gets banned, laughed at, mocked or like in this case here eradicated from the history books. They are teaching young men to be soft and caring, basicly stripping them from their masculinity, just look at all the young boys who cannot even look women into the eyes! Men have the need to fight and protect, that is violent, but that is what makes them feel alive. Take that away and they lack purpose, get depressed and kill themselfs or others (in case of these school shooters)!
I was not even aware these people exist, That sounds utterly horrible, as a person from eastern european country(baltic), I respect my brothers from north a lot and it makes me mad to think that people even have balls to make such claims! History must be studied, analyzed, preserved and remembered!! These "woke" ( not even correct word) people seem so ignorant and this is happens when stupid people are allowed to express their silly ideas loudly! I always felt so inspired by the amount of travels Norse people did, from Mediterranean to North America! A true embodiment of human spirit!
Oh yea they exist. This book "True Myth: Black Vikings of Themiddle Ages" is a book that tries to say that there were black people in Scandinavia who were vikings. I am Swedish and this deeply offends me. I cant explain it to you in words, If you have been offended in a cultural manor then you will know.
I'm Caucasian and from Texas and all they've ever told us our whole life is we stole everything from other people we have no culture we are the devils and we have never created anything ourselves that's all that was preached to me my entire life and I have always known it was a lie the rest of the world doesn't understand what America is really like...they act like minorities are under fire here but that's not true, and you can believe my word my wife is actually African-American my children are mixed so I have no hatred towards anyone I'm just speaking facts I was taught by the culture here in America not to love myself because of my skin color and they'll tell the rest of the world that's what happens here to black people but that's not true white people are taught to hate themselves here and that they come from nowhere but a land called White basically every white person is the same in everyone's eyes here.... Like as if we're all from one place with no culture. It's a shame and my wife supports my beliefs we've talked many times about moving due to the way things are here

It's almost interdicted to be proud of our roots, or any positive aspect of our history. Anyone mentioning them is labeled 'dacopat' like a pathological stupidity. It is ridiculed with a surprising intensity, agressivity and obvious effort of denigration. We too are told nothing we had was original, our nation is a mix of hundreds of populations, nothing to be proud of, we are not the descendants of daci.. etc. Seems the tactic is similar

35 years ago when I started my genealogy research I referred to myself as Native American Indian, Irish and German. Not necessarily % in that order. Now I've learned I am SOOOOOOOO much more. Native American Indian became Choctaw, Seminole and possibly Nansemond. Irish became Scottish, Irish, English, French... and German became German, Dutch, Polish/Russian... This is where I started realizing I'm a HUMAN, I'm a Mutt, a Heinz 57, a MIX. Hell now I refer to myself as SE Native American and Northern European. I'm not naive enough to think that my ancestry originated in the 1500's, the earliest person I have ID'd as an ancestor. That is just a start. I DON'T know where they migrated too and from over the years hence some speculation on Nansemond, Polish, Russian...etc. Place reference is all I have in some aspects but what society held that land at that moment of time I'm not certain. Looking at me genetically, I'm one of the largest members in my family at 6' 260#. Dad was 5'9" 240, barrel chested and his dad slightly smaller, caucasian by the way. All clear indicators of the Northern region of Europe. Mom's dad was red faced, south eastern USA and struggled to grow a hair on his face. ANYONE can see he is CLEARLY Native American. My point is each of us are a genealogical cocktail that is solely unique to ourselves. Even our own siblings have a variation that is dominant. Only possibility would be the result of a 3rd + generation of a twin twin parent. Closest I have is my grandmothers double first cousin. Sisters married brothers thus as close to siblings without being siblings that you can biologically get. Accept your uniqueness, your history, your heritage. Without ANY one member you would cease to exist and have NOTHING to grow off of!

When I was in the Canadian Army, I had a couple of opportunities working with our NATO allies. I found that the Norwegian Soldiers were quite proud of their Viking heritage. They were top notch soldiers, and I would gladly stand beside them any day. Every culture has had evil things done to them, and had perpetrated evil upon others so none of us are innocent. What we need to do is learn from it and move on. Cancelling it will lead to forgetting it, and a people who do not know where they came from are lost.

@Alt Voices Portal One of the best examples I've seen of this happened in Finland around 1000AD. Finland had, or has, a rich cultural history that dates back to the end of the ice age, or over 10k years... but good luck finding it after an attempt at genocide occurred around 900 to 1100AD, destroying records of history, disbanding their way of government, destroying their written word, and even some forms of architecture, but ultimately forcing their society fall under Vatican rule. Never heard of this before? I wonder why? Robert Sephur is an anthropologist who has done extensive research on the forced amnesia of many cultures, and his channel is worth listening to also. I know we sometimes disregard oral history over written text, but sometimes that's the only way to preserve it. I hope Bjorn keeps the channel going, he has my support, and my encouragement to keep the faith... we are listening.
@Alt Voices Portal I appreciate the information. I do need to make a correction... the anthropologist I referred to spells his last name Sepehr, not Sephur... my bad .

I love how you said at the beginning of the video that we belong to the land. You've spoken in your video of how your culture is being taken from you, we've seen it happen to us as well. We speak mainly English and we have faith brought from "white man" (I was raised by faith of the church and raised a part of the land as well). I feel saddened to see a lot of my people lose their connection to the land. When I tell stories of myself going off to walk on my own that gives rise to a spook feeling in others and I just tell them "you don't need to be afraid of the country, of the land. Just believe that you are a part of it, that you have a right to be there just like the animals do (and have respect for the land of course), you've nothing to fear". I love going off to walk in the wilderness on my own as well. Cheers, brother from another land and another ethnicity. Your land looks like it would be enchanting to walk amongst.

Everybody pillaged and raided. Vikings were just the best at it.
And honestly, can we all not acknowledge that pillaging, raiding, war, etc were bad things and are good to be left in the past and at the same time appreciate what is the culture in itself ( the myths, the festivities, the symbols, the clothes,the food, art, etc)? People tend to mix bad things that were done in the past with actual culture, like, murder was never cultural you can still do the rituals that included a sacrifice changing the sacrifice for something symbolic, a change that was already done centuries ago because at some point they realized killing healthy people in rituals was not very productive and was bad.
That is the truth and it's a hard truth for people to understand.
I wouldnt say they were the BEST. Other cultures before or after the Norse were incredible raiders/military tacticians. However this isnt to discredit vikingrs in any way. They were largely a rural society but their warriors' way of life and cunning drove them to successfully invade new lands. They did however have the luck of attacking during the dark ages, where their adversaries were weakened from civil war, intellectual decline, and illness. I have a newfound respect and love for Norse/vikingr culture but we have to acknowledge that the heathen army wouldve never made the ground they did in England if the romans had never left. If they had landed in a unified England(suppose England never fell apart during the dark ages), I doubt they wouldve gained anything but a homefront invasion and a Christian king.

First of all, you don´t need to appologies for beeing a Norse. Me, I was a member of the german navy and we often sailed to northern shores. When ever we sailed into one of your fjords, may it be in Sweden or Norway. For me it was kind of comming home. It´s like the lands welcome a lost son. ( I can´t really explain that feeling. But it touches me deeply. Even now, when I see pictures or videos from this great landscapes it brings me to tears. Makes me kind of homesick.) These vikings, the Norse culture, had done a deep impact on Europe for hundreds of years. If your rejecting this facts you just reject your ancestry. They founded many cities, like Dublin f.e. settled around the world, they build more then they destroyed. Driven by honour, bravery and worship of their Gods. So this "vikings" and me got some things in common. We both were sailors and warriors ;-) (Me I´m a Larper now, sounds crazy. But it´s the only way allowed to become what I really am, just a Norseman.) So stay safe and healthy and be proud of what you are.
By definition you area viking. Viking was more of an adjective or verb. Vinkingr was the noun. To viking was to explore, or fight. So you are both my brother. Not everyone has it genetically but you would've been welcomed then as I welcome you now

Nice comment! I think it perfectly reasonable that you may have been a viking brother in an earlier life.. and that you were coming home in a sense. What we are drawn towards, usually has an explanation rooted in former experience. Skål frende!

Not his culture, to be precise. But the culture and what remains of it. The Norse have been keen to keep such a thing close and I admire it.
Remember the lessons our grandfathers taught.
@Chris Miller I mean in the way that the 11th to 14th century Viking culture does not exist in that form.
@@niallebhann3631 I understand. My thinking is that 14th century was different from 11th too... so when we're talking about traditional culture it's the stuff that continues on through the generations in spite of the centuries giving way to more centuries. This is also why I think the 13th Century sagas are perfectly legitimate records of Viking culture, since the people _were still vikings_! :) Some people don't trust the 13th Century sagas, but I think they are going too far. For example, the 20th Century English author Tolkien I think did a pretty good job of writing his sagas in the Old Anglo-Saxon tradition. It's not "the same" but it's definitely within the tradition, and does a good job of presenting it for a modern audience.
I'll add that Bjorn too is a perfectly legitimate representative of Viking culture for the modern age. He speaks the same language as the Vikings (it has changed but it is still fundamentally the same language), he lives in the same land and the same country (Norway) as his Viking ancestors. Basically, I think he's a perfectly legitimate representative of the tradition and I can't wait until his books are translated into English or French so I can read them!
I am a chicano/mutt. I stand by anyone wanting to learn, appreciate, and teach their history. I am tired of the resets, rewriting, and erasing of history. I dont even know what I am fully mixed with, besides spanish, and indigenous mexican and american. People should be able to appreciate and hold onto their cultures. The technocratic nwo doesnt want that.
Agreed. I am of Filipino decent and I've recently become curious about Norse culture as I resonate with their perception of nature and I admire their strong spirituality. I also saw the similarities in how their beliefs were deemed blasphemous in the eyes of Christianity like so many other precious beliefs in ancient times, I was sad and surprised when I discovered that Viking culture is still attacked or misinterpreted in this generation. I feel powerless at the face of hate and anger, I believe we have so much to learn from each other... The lores, tales, culture and system of the Norse inspires strength, nobility and resilience, to me. @Bjorn Andreas Bull-Hansen Thank you for expressing your thoughts, keep the discussion alive.
@@melissabanoengarde it's interesting how any culture that has that connection to nature and spirituality gets scrubbed in one form, or another.
Don't call yourself a mutt, please. You are a human being who deserves love and respect. All cultures and peoples have beauty and value.
I m very glad that you applaud such vision of searching for native cultures. I've seen it as a human right to search for one's own roots and belonging. There are some ppl who need it more in their life and some who need it less in their life but I guess that most ppl need it one way or another. Despite that viking tribes and slavic tribes were fighting for land in early medieval age today Poles very much like vikings culture. And in the past the area of Baltic Sea was the area of our mutual contacts and trades and the settlements around Baltic Sea were mostly international with both Scandinavian and Slavic tribes in them. The warriors and tradesmen, craftsmen and sailors - Scandinavian, Slavic, even Irish - got their jobs around Baltic Sea in many fortresses and settlements.
Basically, the people behind this animosity want to erase any tradition that is a source of beliefs or values which may interfere with remaking humanity into a bunch of undifferentiated tools of the state. Hostility is directed especially to any tradition that places importance on individual initiative and resourcefulness, as people who embrace such traditions are walking examples to others that the state is NOT necessary as a source of guidance.
As a person with Sikh roots with myself, I would say that you should be proud of your ancestors and not be sorry.
Sikhs have such a bad ass history that nobody knows about. Especially when the Khalsa army nearly wiped the British empire from India.
Don´t worry, your brothers in Iceland codefied the Viking history, culture and religion. The manuscripts are kept in fortified buildings. They can´t be changed.

It’s so sad to hear about this. Everyone should be proud of their culture and their ancestry. Every culture added something great to the world.
Totally agree with you.
Sooo true. Wellsaid. Despite the fact that, yes, every global culture, or select members thereof, participated in some truly “barbaric/hideous acts”, we must seek to understand their actual contributions and remember to judge “barbarity’s” in the realistic context of what was “standard practice” of that time and place. We cannot childish-simply take the conditions from “isolated prosperity bubbles of modernity” and “simply transpose them by force” on preceding ages and places in our rabidly critical wackjob imaginations. “Sorry!!!”.
Some less than others
My grandmother was from Norway and grandfather was from Sweden.
Even being removed from the Nordic countries for over 100 years, I still feel my Viking heritage.
I'll never apologize for my ancestral past.
I’m in a similar situation. My family line came to America 100 years ago during the great Scandinavian migration. On my fathers side is Danish and mother’s side is Swedish.
It feels amazing to realize your ancestral past. My family got pretty Americanized I had to bring back a lot of the culture to my family. I still love America but I won’t let go my ancestors where and where they came from. I have Viking Ancestors. I’m hella proud to have a legit and rich culture.
Skål💀🍻
I'm mostly English in Ancestory (both Anglo-Saxon and Norman) and my feelings are basically; my ancestors kicked ass, fuck ya if you don't like it. That's how the world was then and probably will be again.
My father's grandparents were from Sweden and my mother's parents were from Russia. They all came to the US around the turn of the last century. They were hardy and hard working people, self reliant and never took a hand out..there was none to be had.
Same here , THE VIKINGS ARE THE GREATEST AND THE IRISH WHOM THEY MIXED, WE ARE A POWERFUL PEOPLE AND MAGICAL PEOPLES ! AND THE WELSH IS THE DRAGON! THE DRAGON IS THE VIKINGS! IMHO!

When you said "The forest heals" i completely agree. There was a time when i dove deep into learning Viking tradition and when I did I really absorbed the importance of nature and i took it to heart. Nature absolutely heals, its the clean energies within. It balances your energies and brings you back to equilibrium. Since then EVERY morning ive been going out barefoot on the wet grass and earth to ground myself. 1000% difference.There is without a doubt a connectedness with mother earth. Im sure youll understand.
Its not just the Vikings theyre trying discredit. Its is literally every white culture around world.
@You understud a lot already.
The germanic tribes had no gods like Odin, Thor, Wotan, Donar etc.
These Bullshit was created by the Vatican to blame us as Barbarians.
The Germanic tribes highly respected the Nature, caused they knew without the Nature the would not exist.
Their Holy Tree was the:
Eih = Althochdeutsch
Eich = Mittelhochdeutsch
Eiche = Hochdeutsch today
Aig, or Aik = Indogermanic
Eik = Norwegian today
Oak = English
The Question is why was the Oak holy?
Before the Iceage (Fimbul Winters) we had in Northern- and Central Europe tropical Climate, so the Nature provided us with fruits the entire year, we was entirely fruitarians.
After a huge Cataclysm for Ex a Pole Shift brought everything upside down and created the Icetime less fruits and winters came, so without the Acorn, Oaknut, Eichel we could not survive.
Anyway as it got year by year colder we had to leave Northern- and Central Europe heading East and Southeast.
After the Icetime we came back to our roots.
Indogermanic dont exist this is all germanic aka Hyperborean.
The most of the politically correct Scientists just Lying to us.

I'm African-American. I find Viking culture to be absolutely fascinating. About a year ago, I got into studying the origins and evolution of the English language, and learning about the Norse influences that developed through the centuries. It's all a part of learning about and appreciating humanity, as far as I am concerned.
I'm scottish and when Bjorn speaks you really hear how similar it sounds to scots, Kald is the word for cold in Norwegian and we say it here when its Cauld or Cald also with same meaning a lot of pronunciation is the same.

I'm Indian American (parents origin northern India), and I LOVE learning about other cultures and history and particularly fascinated with the old Norse/Viking culture. People should be free to explore their own culture and be proud of who they are. This whole woke mentality is the most unconscious mentality. I have no idea how they took this term woke which is meant for someone self aware and compassionate and not a victim mindset. And they are the most aggressive, intolerant, victim minded people. You are not alone in how you feel, many of us stand with you.
So true
Actually, if we are being prudent, "Woke" is just another way of saying "Awake". In sentence form one could say, "I woke up early this morning" or "I woke to the sound of a loud noise", or "My sibling woke me up on Christmas morning to open gifts". Its only recently been used out of context to explain someone who is brainwashed or indoctrinated by Globalist Socialist Collectivist ideals such as Marxism and Fascism. They believe they have awakened to truths, but have only been mentally enslaved to propaganda.
Other than that you are correct about how aggressive, intolerant, and victim minded etc, these rage mobs of lunatics are.
The evil ones always hi-jack good words and symbols. They twist all of that good energy into something corrupt that they can use for their own agendas.
Pagans of the world, unite!
“In the last days, good shall be called evil and evil good...” Of course they use woke for describing unconscious, unlistening victims. And of course likewise, they use awful, derogatory terms to describe the compassionate, strong, sensitive, successful people who would liberate others from their victim mindset.
A tradition of free people's? They can't be having that around...

@@peterpoulsen1210 conquered you mean, and let's be honest they weren't the first or the last. Also important to keep in mind that by the standards of the time and measuring them against some of their successors the Romans were a troop of Boy Scouts. For example the Mughal Empire in India slaughtered people on a scale rivaled only by the dictatorships of the 20th century and they did so with medieval technology. Sure the Romans were bastards but would you rather be a Roman peasant or a Spartan helot? Would you prefer your city be captured by Roman legionaries or Mongols? Would you be better off in Gaul under Julius Caesar? Or in the Levant under Muhammad?
This is so inspiring Björn. I’m from a grandparent of Norway and all I get ever get told now, is how cruel they apparently were. Where is the credit for shipbuilding and many more achievements in-line with nature?. Am proud to be of that origin. !

They believe themselves to be the most accepting people but are in fact the most narrow minded as they want everyone to follow their beliefs and only their beliefs.

Vikings at one time had conquered most of the known world. And really it was all about trading rights and not as violent as you'd think. They were essentially travelling merchants. Mix of Celtic and traditional people of Scandinavia.
Pretty interesting history really.

self hatred is a result of narcissism. sounds counter-intuitive but its true
I'm Irish, my ancestors were Norse. Subscribed and liked
These people bring nothing of benefit to society, they merely attempt to denigrate the achievements of others.
Let them rant impotently into their empty world, they are nothing.
"They" are trying to destroy anything with European/Norse heritage. And I don't know why. They are trying to steal our way of life from us. Be proud of your heritage, Be proud of your ancestors. Make your ancestors proud! Love your channel Bjorn
Thank you!
It's been since world war 2 and even before that with the Roman empire
" And I don't know why."
You do, just ask the unconfortable questions :)
The reason why is for control. So, if you can make people feel ashamed of what their ancestors did, they will maybe be easier to control. It is pretty hard to control a proud, self reliant person.
Because "they" and ethnic Europeans have been in conflict for most of known history. They simply despise White people.
I’m an American with mostly British Ancestry, but this includes Vikings of the Danelaw. Proud of all of it.
With you 100%, as an Australian my ancestry is much the same.
Right with you. Danish, but set up shop in Scotland and now the US. Not ashamed of a second of it. Proud to be who I am
Alright geezers. 👍
What about anglo saxon a and other germanic tribes?
Mostly what you speak of as British, Germanic and Danes is cultural and not racial, we're the same race/Subspecies which is why we can work together and get along!
Currently binge watching anything I can find on the Vikings as my family came over from Norway and we keep discovering more and more heritage from the there abd the surrounding areas. I have such a string calling to places over there I’ve never been. Certain songs in the language will bring me to tears and I’m not even sure why. But what saddens me the most is that my parents never had any traditions to pass down and now as the mother of two boys with Scandinavian/viking heritage, it makes me so sad I have nothing to pass down to them about it. Every time i try to dig more into it or express how proud I am of my heritage, people always try and make me feel bad or just say to forget it. But I can’t. It calls to me all the time even tho my family seems to have stopped all gm traditions when there came to America. I don’t feel at home here at all :(
I am Latin but I am infatuated with Norse ways! To me it is the best way to make your life fully functional and honorable! I value the Norse values to my core!
They also constantly attack Hungarian culture, and probably all other traditional European cultures too. If they destroy our past, we will be like trees without roots, and it will be easier to make us disappear. Don't let yourselves to be demoralized, the European Civilization is our heritage.
I am 1/2 Norwegian and 1/2 Danish... Raised to be proud of our heritage... our culture my ancestors. Our roots run deep. I am sick of the discredit also they try to put our culture down. We are still here... Thank you for the video!
I too have Dane, I'm from Danelaw, County Durham, England.
Time for another invasion to prove them wrong. The last time anyone messed with a Norwegian he was strung from a tree and lost his Kingdom. Remarkable people Norwegians. Deep respect. From a Celtic descendant. 👍Gach dùrachd (All the best)🏴
Hi, this is strange... I've had the same thought for years "You belong to this land" although I'm mostly Scots but was not brought up on the Scots patch but I know it's in my DNA. My Dad's father had reddish colour hair. Same thing, people, mountains and trees are the pull I think. Scots people are definitely different to the English in the south. I think there is something to it and these hidden "elites" know that and try to sever it, like you said Mr H. For decades, in my mind's eye looked over the water towards Scandinavia for some reason but never knew why. These "elites" behind it are envious, I agree and they always go after folk who are close to their ancestral lands still. Look at the Native Americans. Some Scots were moved as well about 150 years ago, in the land clearance so the rich could get richer. All for a quick cash in.
I despise them all, all they have done is try to remove us from ourselves, bit by bit. They use that old tactic of saying we are migrants and not the original people. They are sharks. I appreciate the Norse folk and culture, they added their own to other lands as well, like Scotland and east Anglia in England. We have an east coast county called Norfolk (Nor-folk). Lots of towns and villages on the east coast with names that end with "ick" or "wich" like Harwich, Norwich, Walberswick. There's the Jorvik Viking museum in York as well. Look at Iceland. Tough, hardy folk.
Gaelic Scott's has some Norse words in it and I noticed you still call a shop buth a word I found in a 100 year Old Norse Dictionary. I discovered I have DNA from the Lowlands and Ulster Scott's.
I hate it how they are targeting the young to disconnect them from the past. Slán 👍🇮🇪
I just don't get it man. People mix race with culture, they believe that because you are white you have no culture. That somehow being white means that you share the same bloodline, same beliefs, same culture as other white people. By that same logic could I say that all Black people are of the same culture? That someone from South Africa is exactly like someone from Michigan. Or that a Korean person is the exact same as a Japanese person? They aren't alike, they are very much different and distinct from one another and to even say they are the same would be a disservice to their entire culture. The Norse culture has always interested me, and while I don't know my exact lineage or what I consist of culturally I still very much love the Norse Culture. Anyone who tries to rewrite history, discredit a culture or just try to obliterate it is evil. To deny our roots, our heritage, our forefathers is to spit in their face. Period.
When I watch american movies i become angry. Too much ignorance.
Came to the comment section to make a similar statement. You have it covered though. You are very much correct.
Marxist will never see reality or admit, that there are many different cultures for very different people who have white skin. Marxist dogmatism, hatred, and racism, is there virtue.
Even native American tribes were wildly different... Nobody were alike..
@@VentureHolly What do you mean their race is their culture? That's prejudice at best and racist at worst. That's what my whole argument was dismantling. Race DOES NOT equal culture. Culture is the beliefs and actions of a large social group or just a group of people in general. That doesn't limit it to only someone of a certain race, you don't have to be white to be Swedish, German or Norwegian. Would you tell a black person born and raised in Sweden that culturally he is the same as someone from South Africa? If race did equal culture then all Asians would be the same, all white people would be the same and all black people would be the same. It may be true that people can have similar roots, that does not mean they are similar in any other way. Libyans are not the same as Angolans and Nigerians are not the same as Zambians. Again, to say otherwise is a disservice to everything they believe in.
I think most of us in Northern Europe have a little bit of Viking in us.
Even most of Slavic countries come from the Vikings but then created their own cultures over time
Exactly, otherwise York would still be called Eoferwic
Just look at what happened recently to the viking historian Sturla (YT channel: Viking stories)... it's absolutely madness.
I am unsure of my ancestry.
My last name was changed a few generations ago. I’m not sure is I am German, Polish, Russian, Prussian, Finnish, or Scandinavian, but I really appreciate that you said you can connect to this even without this ancestry.
I have come to find a strong connection to Norse, Viking, and Scandinavian history, culture, roots, etc.
I feel called to it in many ways…
I am on your side. Viking culture is incredibly important to many people. It’s important to me. Thank you for this video. It means a lot to me.
Has to do with the brutality of the vikings during the ancient and middle ages. Unfortunately everyone forgets that the rest of the world was just as, if not more barbaric.
They were barbaric...depends with what other culture you compare them to in their same time. At least the allowed women to divorce their husband while in most other cultures that only happened if the husband decided it, the woman could not. They were also very clean and hygienic compared to other cultures of their same time.
@@nessyness5447 This is correct. Most of it is related to a *false* mental image that most people make when they hear about vikings.
@@anonymousmobster2444 Life is brutality, we need to aknowledge the violence that is life. Its that soft feminine culture that wants to get rid of masculinity itself which is the problem here. Dont you see the pattern in culture? Everything remotely masculine gets banned, laughed at, mocked or like in this case here eradicated from the history books. They are teaching young men to be soft and caring, basicly stripping them from their masculinity, just look at all the young boys who cannot even look women into the eyes! Men have the need to fight and protect, that is violent, but that is what makes them feel alive. Take that away and they lack purpose, get depressed and kill themselfs or others (in case of these school shooters)!
their brutaltiy was what made them famous, norse and dane vikings went into battle with 101 percent fearlessness ,
the vikings were just better at it tbh. they shit on a lot of other people so those people got mad and wrote shit about them
I was not even aware these people exist, That sounds utterly horrible, as a person from eastern european country(baltic), I respect my brothers from north a lot and it makes me mad to think that people even have balls to make such claims! History must be studied, analyzed, preserved and remembered!! These "woke" ( not even correct word) people seem so ignorant and this is happens when stupid people are allowed to express their silly ideas loudly!
I always felt so inspired by the amount of travels Norse people did, from Mediterranean to North America! A true embodiment of human spirit!
Oh yea they exist. This book "True Myth: Black Vikings of Themiddle Ages" is a book that tries to say that there were black people in Scandinavia who were vikings. I am Swedish and this deeply offends me. I cant explain it to you in words, If you have been offended in a cultural manor then you will know.
I envy the fact that you didn’t even know they exist lol
I'm Caucasian and from Texas and all they've ever told us our whole life is we stole everything from other people we have no culture we are the devils and we have never created anything ourselves that's all that was preached to me my entire life and I have always known it was a lie the rest of the world doesn't understand what America is really like...they act like minorities are under fire here but that's not true, and you can believe my word my wife is actually African-American my children are mixed so I have no hatred towards anyone I'm just speaking facts I was taught by the culture here in America not to love myself because of my skin color and they'll tell the rest of the world that's what happens here to black people but that's not true white people are taught to hate themselves here and that they come from nowhere but a land called White basically every white person is the same in everyone's eyes here.... Like as if we're all from one place with no culture. It's a shame and my wife supports my beliefs we've talked many times about moving due to the way things are here
Yup. The zionists have devised anti white propaganda and now there’s a white genocide happening

Not defending imperialism, but that was the "norm" of their times, the same way tearing down European cultures is viewed as the "norm" today. Almost every culture was imperialistic in one way or another. The Bushmen about the Bantu. The Persian about the Egyptian.
Literally most of the world, from the viewpoint of Ghenghis Kahn. See?
Just remember, change starts with you. Beating yourself up isn't the way to go about things.
I know it was the norm. It shouldn’t be the future. Before this demonic Babylonian slavery there was an very ancient culture of commerce with autonomous city states. Uranus was the main vibe, not the glutenous Thor/Jupiter lowlife intellectualism. All the “pagan” tribes that fled to Europe, Turkey , Russia did so because Of the monotheism that was enforced in Parthia. It started with Zoroastrianism. A black and white world view. I’m with the dragon in the sea. My culture is Phoenician Canaanite.
I totally feel you Bjorn, the Exact same thing is happening in my country, Romania. Our historic roots are the dacians, Dacii, and I can't evan tell the amount of ridicule splashed on everything related to it.
First of all, No Pride. It's almost interdicted to be proud of our roots, or any positive aspect of our history.
Anyone mentioning them is labeled 'dacopat' like a pathological stupidity. It is ridiculed with a surprising intensity, agressivity and obvious effort of denigration.
We too are told nothing we had was original, our nation is a mix of hundreds of populations, nothing to be proud of, we are not the descendants of daci.. etc. Seems the tactic is similar
🌈🤡X✡️🥸
Stay proud of your roots alexateodor and your land. In the forest. mountains,lakes and in your heart and blood there is no computers,internet or WOKE,just the blood of your ancestors and all their knowledge passed down to you. Don't worry about others opinions because these people are completely disconnected from themselves as the Agenda had planned for them. They are too stupid to think for themselves and bow down to group pressure. They have cut themselves off from the Great Spirit and have become cyborgs, flesh and blood machines.
So stay strong by staying in touch with your ancestral roots and then you will live as a true human being.

Being proud of ancestry is ridiculous. The f* did you do to pride yourselves with their achievements?
I have 1.8% Scandinavian in my dna and know the Vikings were the first to hit the shores of America from Europe!
I have 35.6%, 1/3rd
I have 12% Scandinavian... the Wagenson side of my family... proud of every ethnic part of me... we are all an ethnic quilt of sorts. Telling the stories of our past, our ancestors past. I don't understand why people don't embrace each other and our histories no matter what the history was. Love your videos Bull! I did a cartoon portrait of you recently...how do i get it to you? 😜
I have 50 procent, and other 50 procent Iranian.
Who cares if you got 2% scandinavian in your DNA. Does it make a difference?
35 years ago when I started my genealogy research I referred to myself as Native American Indian, Irish and German. Not necessarily % in that order. Now I've learned I am SOOOOOOOO much more. Native American Indian became Choctaw, Seminole and possibly Nansemond. Irish became Scottish, Irish, English, French... and German became German, Dutch, Polish/Russian... This is where I started realizing I'm a HUMAN, I'm a Mutt, a Heinz 57, a MIX. Hell now I refer to myself as SE Native American and Northern European. I'm not naive enough to think that my ancestry originated in the 1500's, the earliest person I have ID'd as an ancestor. That is just a start. I DON'T know where they migrated too and from over the years hence some speculation on Nansemond, Polish, Russian...etc. Place reference is all I have in some aspects but what society held that land at that moment of time I'm not certain.
Looking at me genetically, I'm one of the largest members in my family at 6' 260#. Dad was 5'9" 240, barrel chested and his dad slightly smaller, caucasian by the way. All clear indicators of the Northern region of Europe. Mom's dad was red faced, south eastern USA and struggled to grow a hair on his face. ANYONE can see he is CLEARLY Native American.
My point is each of us are a genealogical cocktail that is solely unique to ourselves. Even our own siblings have a variation that is dominant. Only possibility would be the result of a 3rd + generation of a twin twin parent. Closest I have is my grandmothers double first cousin. Sisters married brothers thus as close to siblings without being siblings that you can biologically get.
Accept your uniqueness, your history, your heritage. Without ANY one member you would cease to exist and have NOTHING to grow off of!
As an English man who has traveled quite alot i can relate. The amount of hate we get is absolutely astounding.
Oddly enough most of the best places to live are former British colonies. The empire had its faults and they were many but it certain did drag the human race into the future and lead to allot of good as well.

You belong to this land. You are a native to this magnificent place. And that is how things should be. The world is changing and replacement is slowly happening unfortunately. I like other cultures exactly because they are different with each other.
Viking culture is rich. As someone outside of the culture, I'll admit that I'm a bit envious of the Scandinavian viking heritage.
I also don't necessarily lead a life that aligns to the ways of the old vikings, but that doesn't mean I need to tear the viking culture down, or that I need to force other people to live like I do.
