Why do people glorify Vikangz when they were such shit tier dishonorable warriors who could only rape and pillage small villages and monasteries?

Who glorifies Vikings?

"Vikings" weren't one group of people.
Try actually reading sources instead of posting a bullshit image. Some Viking raiders were so fast and brutal that they terrified a whole countryside. The nights were frightening for two reasons: wolves and vikings.
Most of what they did, despite your trolling, wasn't raping, or pillaging. They were simple farmers and fisherman.
>b-b-but these fisherman got killed by a disciplined army holding ranks
>whites BTFO!

This. They're part of our history but I don't think anyone is necessarily proud of that.

Who gloifies the Vikings?

The Vikangz also sold fellow Europeans as slaves to mudslimes. Are you going to try to defend that too? Scandinavians were always cucks: secularafrican.wordpress.com/2013/08/22/islamic-complicity-in-the-viking-atlantic-slave-trades/

Sweden has been full of cucks for most of modern history. Norwegians made it a sport to invade Sweden and take slaves.
That has nothing to do with your weak fallacious premise. They were farmers and fisherman who only engaged in small conflicts periodically. Despite their humble roots many of them managed to successfully sail incredible distances which is something you can't say about your monkey amazon ancestors. You don't even have a point to make.

>Norse defeated by Catholic Irish

That battle was 500 years before the Reformation, whether you were Catholic or not matter a whole lot less then not just in Ireland but in Europe generally.

And anyway, it's the Battle of Clontarf, not the Battle of Cathair Cuan, that's considered the ultimate defeat for the Norse in Ireland.

Whoever wrote this crap is talking shite.

You know very well that nobodies glorifies Vikangz because they were "explorers and merchants", it's because they were "badass warriors". That couldn't be further from the truth, they were terrible warriors who only had some irrelevant kingdoms here and there. The real badass warriors of history are Mongol and Turkic people.

You know who no one on the face of the earth glorifies?
Brazilians.

They're pretty good at football.

Actually we do glorify them for explorers and merchant, and for being warriors.
I mean OP can cherrypick all he wants but if you think they were dirty stupid barbarians only pillaging and raping you know less about them than the idiots that think they were the greatest warriors and perfect.

At least Brazil didn't destroy Western culture with cancerous globalism.

>Actually we do glorify them for explorers and merchant

Never seen anyone do that in popular media.

They were cool. Easy material for "badass" stuff.

They were shit fighters. Shit in general, really. Terrible example of civilisation, Vikings pre-Catholicism were by and large just snow-africans.

no, it was the Battle of Tara that is considered the killing blow. Clontarf was a mop-up by Boru and pals, but the Battle of Tara under Máel Sechnaill Mac Domnaill is what put the norse faggots into a position to have their ass pilfered by Boru's troops.

About half of those are pure bullshit

People don't seem to understand that the vikings weren't one proper army, but usually just small bands of raiders who will obviously lose to an actual military force
When they did form an army shit was pushed in left and right
The great heathen/danish army conquered half on England for fucks sake

"Ultimate" means last, not decisive.

It's usually cultureless yanks who put this headcanon together for muh heritagefaggotry anyway.

...

Oh, fair enough. Yeah, Clontarf is what did it then.

to be fair though, even actual armies weren't "formidable" in the true sense.

The Great Heathen army was a ruthless bastard, but their conquering of England was less a "we have a superior fielded army" and more of a "England is in absolutely no place to defend against an attack so sudden and strong."

There is a clear turning point where """england""" brings their collective shit together and the Vikings get bullied off the island.

They weren't as bad as some people make them out to be, but I don't think they were ever going to be a true force to be reckoned with until they started copying half competent kingdoms.

Fuck off, Yank.

You are Ireland-tier in terms of global relevance; your biggest achievement was chucking the british off your rock.
Except at least the bogniggers provided the world with competent warriors pre-WW1.
Considering your size and strength it's humiliating that you are what you've become.

>The great heathen/danish army conquered half on England for fucks sake

Yeah, they can win against another backwater barbarian tribe. Congrats. They were btfo later anyway.

>Except at least the bogniggers provided the world with competent warriors pre-WW1.

B-but what about the Spanish Civil War and the Congo...

And our special forces and, unsurprisingly, our bomb disposal experts are world class.

You spelt IRA bomb creation specialists wrong

and your country is still somehow a shithole compared to the rest of europe.

The Vikings did fucked up shit , just like everybody else.

"Let him who is without sin cast the first stone"

Porqué no los dos?

Oh, my point wasn't that Ireland was shit until WW1. Ireland have always had great fighters, from celtic faggots to Michael Collins memeraiding to the congo superstars

My point was more that America, all things considered, doesn't have nearly as much military prowess or infamy as they should have.
But they can't be blamed, since competent and relevant america is a new nation.

>he falls for the memes

Shithole how? What part of Europe do you compare is to? England is lovely. Wales is even nicer.
Ulster is a bit shit but it's very white, I'll give them that.

Everyone has been btfo'd at one point or another
Barbarians btfo the roman empire
And you're literally a monkey who thinks that just because your great great great great great grandmother was Italian that you're basically a modern day Roman

They don't really have a rival nation though. There's no one that could go toe to toe with them and not get absolutely obliterated.

The only options for fighting them is terrorism and guerrilla warfare - and as you'd know from the Irish War of Independence and the Troubles, that's an absolute bitch to fight against with a regular army.

>Barbarians btfo the roman empire

Through mass immigration, not through real conquest. It was Attila who brought all the snowniggers there. They were just his toys.

Also, hahahaha, look at this, they were literally ethnically cleansed out of Britain: oxfordtimes.co.uk/news/8496707.Experts_reveal_brutal_Viking_massacre/

The nordic vikings greatest architectural achievement was the mud hut, they were truly nigger tier.

>This picture again
>full of shitty wikipedia articles
>most of the sources are angry christian monks

You probably haven't even read them.

>Mentions the "great heathen army" which was probably only 500 people and outnumbered like in most battles.

Of course vikings would retreat in most cases when they were outnumbered. That's pretty fucking normal even for knights.

Also funny how a lot of those battles had christians fighting on the viking side and vice versa.


Vikings left only a small DNA inprint on the peoples of britian since they didn't invade with their whole people like most hordes did at the time and a few centuries before. This means they had to be pretty good warriors to conquer most of britain with their smaller numbers.

Vikings were pretty good warriors. The thing is, that is not really special. Centuries before you have the germanic tribal warriors and gallic tribal warriors who were just as good(if not better). The traditional viking glorfication is a bit silly, but this new anti-viking revisionism is getting out of hand(with these shitty fucking sources and what not)

...

>Saxon culture was just a bastardised version of Norse/Germanic influence. Odin is Woden in Saxon etc.

>Norman culture evolved from Norse raiders & settlers

>Normans ruled England & France for hundreds of years ingraining themselves in the cultures.

Tfw modern Europe wouldn't exist as we know it without "Vikangz"

American conservatives/nationalists were against the British, so they larped as Vikings, they would like to create a completely false history were Vikings colonized America and populated it, the British came later and conquered them temporarily before they liberated themselves from Tranny.

Christian vikings were stronger than non-christian vikings it seems, even if the christian vikings basically lost every battle while spearheading the conversion.

Because WE WUZ

Vikings were the dindus of Europe. Come in and squat in a nice area, act tough in front of women and children, can only fight in numbers and run at the sight of authority.

>can only fight in numbers

Their problem was that they didn't have the numbers.

>christian vikings

What kind of oxymoron is this?

Probably the same reason why you tards glorify Nazis despite the Wehrmacht being the successful professional military that fought for their country and the nigger tier SS being the true believers that are only remembered for executing surrendering opponents and massacring civilians.

>Secularafrican
>Wordpress
Well excuse me if I assume your point is already moot.

>what is the Varangian guard
>what is the Kingdom of Rus
>what is the Danelaw

>what is the Varangian guard

Composed of various Christianized Germanic warriors, not Vikangz.

>what is the Kingdom of Rus

Irrelevant and btfo by Mongols.

>what is the Danelaw

Vikangz were ethnically cleansed out of Britain:

The Christian converts in nordic countries, you moron.
If you actually knew anything about the topic you'd know where the fear mongering image of Vikings came from. Nordic people were taller and more handsome than all the manlet olive skinned missionaries. These Norsemen would bath regularly, and would groom themselves every day, they kept their beards neat. The church was worried that tall attractive men would sway good christian women into relationships outside of marriage, so the image of them being horrible demons in horned helmets was created.

The average Norsemen was taller and stronger than any of the Mediterraneans or Semites.

>Why do people glorify Vikangz

because it's the most iconic military happening that nordics ever managed to create
>spain had its massive colonial empire
>brits had their british empire
>french had napoleons conquest
>germans had hitlers conquest
>italians had roman empire
>greeks had byzantine empire
>slavs had russian empire

the closest thing to that is probably sweden under gustav adolf II, but it pales in comparison, so instead they refer back to the old days where nordics terrorized the north sea and the baltic sea as fearsome raiders. not exactly a time of imperial glory, but hey, it's better than nothing..

They were mostly opportunistic raiders, but they did band together and rekt shit with the great heathen army.

It's a bit wrong maybe. The word "viking" doesn't have any strict connection to a religion. It either means where you are from or your "job".

Vikings would be employed by christian rulers as bodyguards(and other elite forces) and most of the time they would convert to christianity.

You also have the norwegian crusade which was basically the same as an viking expedition(the same techniques and technology).

They had to use numbers to raid defenseless villages and squat. They were the Jamals of their time.

> great heathen army.

It wasn't even great. It was pretty small. Amazing how well they did with it though.

>They had to use numbers to raid defenseless villages and squat

Even the towns outnumbered the smaller band of raiders though.

>The Christian converts in nordic countries

The Viking Age lasted from the 8th century to the 11th century. 11th century was when Scandinavia was Christianized. Rest of your post is just retarded shit that doesn't have anything to do with it.

You stopped being Vikagnz the moment you were Christianized in the 11th century, so I'd say it does have to do with religion.

Learn the English language, and basic world history, you tree monkey.

Oh, is this the glorious Irish language I have heard so much about? Lemme try

Ooga booga wherismefuckan taters at. Ogh I me taters be feckin ded like me calture.

Am I hurting the feelings of your 1/32 Nordick heritage, burger? I'm sorry.

industrious and ambitious people, discovered america before anyone else, built ships to sail the atlantics.

I AM A VIKANG

What's so special about Varangians anyway? They were just guards hired by basileus because he wanted someone from the outside, who was not corrupted by the politics. They rarely fought in actual battles, and in the end even their famous loyalty to the emperor turned out to be bullshit.

I'm not sure either. Also, they weren't all Scandinavians, but various Germanic ethnicities that had to become Christian to serve in the Byzantine army.

It has to do with exploring the New World. Using meme pop culture as a point, then refuting it, doesn't really show your point. Nobody takes that stuff seriously without proofs.

You were in the last thread about bashing Germans and Nordic people. Remember, I called you out on deliberately including Newton for the Brits but substituting people like Leibniz or Beethoven for fucking Angela Merkel.
It's the constant divide and conquer, instead of uniting as brothers, you sow dissent in the ranks and watch in unravel behind a Brazilian flag. Seriously, watch the trends for those who are lurking, it's always one flag with the same images and speech patterns.

>he thinks Spanish is Irish

Must be that wonderful English education I've heard so much about.

>he took that image I made seriously

It's just to make Nordicists butthurt. Those are the only people I have a problem with.

What of Nordicism? Look at what happened in your own image, do you think for one moment that the Roman empire could withstand a single battle with the Third Reich?
It isn't a battle from within, it is a friendly rivalry to see who will create the largest dominion. Churchill and his Jewish soviet buddies couldn't handle German autarky.
Mediterraneans, from Carthage, Rome, Persia, and Greece, founded and crafted civilization. The bulk of scientific achievements/breakthroughs have been on-par, as the Northern nations soon caught up. You deliberately downplay Swedish or German successes. You don't mention Newton but skip over Leibniz. Those people existed, you can't just write them all off.

They also sold them to Byzantium, before castrating them in Venice.
You morons need to realize that people back were overall different, not just vikings.

Why do you take everything I post at face value? Do you have autism?

factually wrong.

hundreds of millions glorify Brasilian football players

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varangians

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varangian_Guard

Vikings, the raiders who went to the British Isles and continental Europe to steal and pillage were mostly opportunistic local chiefs who rounded up some men from their villages. The rich sponsored the ships and some equipment and the men who joined the raids were promised pay and a cut of the profits. They were nothing more than greedy and bloodthirsty farmers.

The Norsemen, the kings and their armies that terrorized the Franks, the Anglos and the Saxons were the real stuff of nightmares for their enemies, not the vikings.

Russia's founding father was Rurik, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rurik_dynasty an asshole who kept raiding and stealing villages from the Dane king at the time. They got so fed up with him that he was exiled, he went east where he and his bros continued their conquering rampage and for some fucking reason the Slavs thought he was a strong, cool guy and he laid the foundations for modern Russia.

Do you admit to deliberately posting misinformation for easy replies? How intellectually honest. I blame myself for allowing nu-Sup Forums threads to mean something more than what they truly are: excrement.
You could talk about the dominion of European minds over foreign, hook-nosed charlatans, but this will suffice for those who take the bait, myself included.

Absence of evidence is not presence of evidence. Quite a simple task, all that is required is to show the logical feasibility of your assertions with concrete evidence. This is true for all claims.
Also, positing unverifiable claims is not an argument. Unless you can prove that that is me, it might as well just be another hand. You need evidence linking your claims to the logical world, otherwise they are just empty claims.
