> so a far left fool, wearing rainbow hat What about wanting to make people feel safe when they are around me makes me "far left"? I'd like to think that it makes me considerate. I'm not particularly happy that far right have made it so I may come off scary to some people, but it is what it is. > and speaks for all danes? I think I can officially tell you that I am in fact speaking on behalf of every non-nazi danish person when I tell you that we collectively hate the fact that the far right in so many places has adopted our cultural heritage. > Also, I wonder what your danish ancestors would think if you could speak old norse and explain them your 'inclusiveness' and culture appropriation to them They would likely be fine with them. We have both historical and archeological sources to show us that vikings weren't really very judgemental in the sense that traditional monotheistic religions are today. We also know that things like "nationality" weren't even concepts at the time. They'd quite simply mingle with the cultures they encountered and you'd even have things like homosexuality being rather accepted in parts of society and not in others. Though obviously not in a way that is comparable with society today as you can see in the "law texts" we have from the period. For men the "acting party" wouldn't be considered to be different from a heterosexual man, while the "receiving party" would be anything from poorly treated to considered to be breaking the law depending on which specific city/area they lived in. Similarly women's rights were a thing, with them being better than they are for many women today in some parts and worse in others, though over all rather good for any period in human history. It's sort of silly to compare our society with society 1200 years ago though. A huge amount of the concepts we've build our civilizations upon simply didn't exist in "Norse culture". A lot of our modern cultural, like the Scandinavian work ethics and our morals are hugely inspired by Lutheranism as an example.
