@KnightTemplar This is so gross, lol.

Dear Adi,

It was actually an atomized Nordic society, radical 'individualism' and lack of codified doctrine that did the religion in. Unfortunately, Norse pagans also weren't nationalists. They weren't even proto-nationalists and there was no sense of duty to the nation, much less any organized structure of armed forces anyway. People were obligated only to their own ambitions, family and particular war band (of which there were dozens). It's also a bit of a misnomer to say Odin or any other deity is necessarily worshipped in a manner that corresponds to Abrahamic faiths. The Æsir are overtly anthropomorphic because they are ideals we strive to achieve -- they are our spirit, they are our ancestors, they are ourselves, they are us.
 
How was this like 25 years ago already, what the fuck. Bad Blood '97. In any case, the greatest debut and entrance of all-time. And it followed as a mere cherry on top of very arguably one of the five greatest matches of all-time.

Unpopular Opinion - This debut was even better.

Adi was replying to guys like Himmler and Rosenberg who actually wanted to spend money, during war time, to create Pagan temples and other bullshit. Basically a practical man criticizing idealists.
It's also to be noted our knowledge of Nordic religion is still very sparse, we know the mythology but not much about religious practices, and it was even more so back in his day.

Hahaha, I'm always skeptical about that nazi stuff. 80 years ago and people still claim they were crazy and did this and that but in the case of Himmler I believe it.

He was kind of a fucking dork tbh. He got nauseous just from witnessing executions, Reinhard Heydrich was inevitably and rightly going to usurp him if not for the assassination (and whole losing World War 2 thing). The description of Hitler stripping Himmler of every rank and title with an order made for his arrest as one of his last acts as Führer has always made me laugh. The guy was allegedly the 2nd most powerful man in the entire Reich, reduced to nothing and nobody in an instant.
