And also, many of these groups believe that only people with Scandinavian genes are allowed to partake in the celebration of this rich and wondrous ancient culture.

I come from a similar background- born 1974 American. Wow- back in the 80s, mythology, knight, and barbarian based fantasy shows were all the rage and are making a comeback. I was fascinated beyond belief. You may or may not be interested in a show that puts its own fictional spin on yesteryears' myths and religions rearing their heads in America , and it's called American Gods. Neil Gaiman wrote the original novel (which is very good) and he worked closely with the producers of the cable series. Of course Odin is in it, but also Anansi, Thot, Anubis, Mad Sweeny (leprechaun like none you've ever stereotyped), Kali, Czernobog, Astora, and others make appearances. It's a fascinating modern take on pagan old world gods of the past trying to stay alive in 2000s America.

Thanks. A lot. You have no idea how much voices against the appropriation of Nordic history and culture by bigots are important. I feared, for almost a decade, exploring my interset in Norse history, mythology and paganism. It was all because racist remarks I have read online, written by antisemitic folkists. As someone who has been raised as an Orthodox Jew, it had scared me in a way that words can't even describe. Only after I met my fiancé (and after that - the local pagan community) I gathered the courage to explore and eventually realize that I feel at home when I worship Heimdall or Freya other than any other religious path. This resistance to bigotry matters, don't ever forget that. For me, it means my personal safety and my ability to grow spiritually without being judged for my origins. Who knows how many people with a similar story to mine are out there.

There is not a sacrosanct position which excludes one from "intolerance". So instead of content creators morally patronizing their audience with their opinion on a subject which defames others who are "intolerant" from their vantage, maybe they themselves should look in the mirror, honestly, and see that their egalitarianism is intolerance of native essentialism.

This is my first video of yours I have seen and I thoroughly enjoyed this. (Subscribed!) You gave me a lot to think about as an American. When you spoke about the globalization of culture exploration causing humans to appreciate and appropriate other cultures is fascinating. I can’t speak of other countries peoples but I feel some Americans (I speak for Caucasians) might look for and identify with other cultures out of a lack of understanding their own roots and ancestry. Many of our ancestries were lost because of bad record keeping in the beginning of our nation. We originate from so many places. But we live in a time so close to the countries origins that even if we are “Americans” we know this is not where the large majority of us came from. My lineage for example is lost by missing records during the first 100 years of America on either side. My family are mutts and there are only family rumors of origins that are vague. “We may be part Irish, part English, part Cherokee, part Blackfoot and part German.” This is a simplified version of what I’ve been told. Often it’s more like you get this “physical feature” from this lineage kind of thing or there is rumor that we had this cultural relative. But no evidence or validity. And my surname is Holland but that’s just my fathers side. There is a loss of ancestral identity for us. I can’t help but wonder if this, along with our lack of community (belonging), feeds into any of our right wing extremists issues at all or at minimum contributes to the appropriation of cultures we want to identify with to give ourselves this need to know where we come from. I must admit that I have always felt drawn towards Nordic countries and Viking history but I have no knowledge if I have any ancestry. But perhaps I do identify specifically with the Nordic because I have blonde hair (with random red hairs) and blue eyes. So aside from being short, I feel like maybe that’s part of where I come from. 🤷‍♀️😂 But it seems to come from a place of wanting to belong and know my actual “culture” or “motherland/fatherland” (these words first appeared in the American English dictionary in 1847.) I sure know that I don’t like identifying with my American culture which is wrought with chaos from its beginning and lacks a cohesive sense of belonging for anyone because we have always been such a divisive country. Not to mention that I’m ashamed of my known American ancestors being from the south. This makes me want to find an ancestry further back that I can feel connected to and be proud of. Anyways, thank you for the informative video and good for thought! 🙏Would love to hear your thoughts on this and I wonder if this topic has been discussed by anyone. I will have to Google it now. 😁

@willmosse3684

Holland is certainly a relatively common surname in England, so you could well have some English ancestry? But to be honest, if your heritage is from anywhere in North West Europe, you probably would have at least some Norse ancestry, because in the Viking age, people from Scandinavia settled all over the place - England, Ireland, Scotland, France and elsewhere. So you likely would have at least some ancestry from there, even if only in small percentage.

I am glad to see you make it clear that you do not want the support of the far right as they do spoil it for everyone else. Not only is it the case that there are people with extreme views drawn to the subject but it has had the effect of making some people who have a genuine interest in the subject mater overly focused on the far right to the extent that they apparently not only don't tolerate bigotry but seem to feel the need to apologise for something they are not even guilty of. Which puts the focus on the negative and almost seams to accept the concept that part of history and some symbols can be ceded to an unpleasant minority.

I see a lot of people commenting thinking this video is about politics or Arith expressing his political views. That shows how out of reality people are in relation to both historical facts of our own time and politics themselves. This video is about facts, both historical and current facts as every day history is being made. This is not a political video, this is a video of awareness concerning the history of white supremacy and the use of nordic symbols by such people in our modern days. Great video by the way, thank you Arith.

Put simply, to gain clout. The Aeneid gives Rome a glorious (if falsified) past in the burning ruins of Troy. When Rome became great and died, others did the same - magnifying their roman heritage where they could, falsifying it where they could not. A similar process happened to biblical subjects upon christianization. When archeology started coming into it's own and people started uncovering the old cultures of their ancestors, of course they were to be portrayed as another great age since passed, conveniently providing a pedigree of majesty to the nations who now inhabited the land. And just as before, what could not be proven to be great was made great by hook or by crook. The only difference this time around was that the racial tones of that greatness were emphasized because of the spirit of the age. This method of historical justification has since fallen out of fashion, restricting it's adherents to, well, rather niche communities.

I'm not sure why it is so difficult to treat people with love and kindness, no matter where they come from, or what color they are. Intolerance should only happen to people who are murderers, rapists, etc. Intolerance should only happen to those who gleefully appreciate shitting on others because of where they come from, their color, or their innocent and personal beliefs that aren't injuring others. Those instances should NOT be tolerated, and those people should be educated or corrected. Why is that hard to understand for some?

I would be very interested to hear your thoughts on the possible shared heritage of the Ancient Greek pantheon and the pantheon of the Nordic gods. To me, there appear to be striking parallels in the mythology and the gods themselves, which suggests a shared common root, which I often wonder may come from ancient trade and contact between the two peoples.

If I may offer you an excellent opportunity to have all your questions answered I will direct you to the KZread channel: Crecganford. His main object of inquiry is the effects of the Indo and Proto Indo-European influence on the language and mythology of people from Iran and Africa all the way to Siberia and North America. Fascinating and well-researched and some of the best, if not THE best channel on KZread. You can thank me later...

As a Norwegian, it is sad to see the lack of interest here in our own history, and I think you have described the reasons quite well. It is true that many scholars on Norwegian history are not Norwegian.

How does not "canceling" extremists work with the tolerance paradox? I completely agree with what you said about giving people the chance and education to change, but I also don't have the patience and sympathy to allow the intolerant to take over before their epiphany.

Chris Hedges touched on his last point perfectly. If we ostracize and marginalize these people economically, they will become enraged, not enlightened. It's by enfranchizing people into the economy that they'll more likely be won over.

Thank you, Ari. I know that had to have taken a lot out of you.

I've never understood why so many of these hate groups clinge to Mjolnir and the Black Sun , and claim Odin as the God they work most with.....of course nothing they do makes sense spiritually. I identify as a Pagan, Odin is the primary male God I work with, I think the Rune Circle is much more appropriate to connect with Odin than Mjolnir or the Black Sun.

you don't bring up any of the beliefs and where they come from and why besides saying they came from the Nazi Aryan ideology.

Then you claimed Trump showed a belief of extremely bigoted and racist views but again have no examples or proof to back up any of your claims.

Whether the left or the right of the political spectrum want to revision historical symbols that's on them, I've made that mistake years ago until I've come to terms that spirituality has nothing to do with politics. In the astral planes, your political beliefs and identity doesn't mean shit.

This video was really bad, unknowledgeable and came from a very extremist political view though. By today's standards our ancestors would have been both extremely n4tionalistic and patriarchal. Both which are good things. They def wouldn't have been "tolerant", that's hilarious and not based on any facts.

I saw Northman it was a Viking rehash of Hamlet without Shakespeare speeches. Only has 2 scenes of shaman rituals and Baltic folk medicine in it too for the Ophelia typed character is Slav or Baltic … I missed her characters distinction. It would be interesting if you see those scenes and interpret that. It seemed to me more a vehicle in the movie to drive a sense of ill fated destiny in the plot just like Hamlet did.

Thank you so much for this, and as a political scientist with a lot of philosophy, history, sociology, and psychology in my training, Arith's explanations of the phenomenon are on point. There seems to always be a tension between those that focus on the exoteric and those that focus on the esoteric concerning spirituality. It has always fascinated me that when I focus on the esoteric and mystical aspects of spirit, I find the forms and symbols to be near universal, if not completely universal (sorta the point I suppose). It is when the exoteric is the focus that ideas about unique cultural supremacy and fear of other emerge. I actually do tend to be an optimist however concerning the potential of global communications. Stupid can and does spread, but so does love and understanding. As long as we do not bomb ourselves back to the iron age, this unified world will only reify itself.

Primeiramente tenho agradecer por mais um vídeo incrível Pretendo deixar a minha opinião, mas devido meu inglês não ser bom, optei escrever em português, espero que entenda Existe inúmeras facetas da Extrema-direita: supremacistas raciais (com vários pensamentos diferentes entre si), neonazistas (não faz sentido ter esse grupo na America latina e no leste europeu, pois na visão do Hitler eslavos são inferiores e pessoas mestiças são impuras), Ultra-conservadores cristãos (proclamam como seguidores da religião verdadeira, todas outras crenças são falsas, são coisa do diabo), pseudo-pagãos que se comportam como cristão, só muda nome do deus, mas as regras seguem a mesma da bíblia, tratam Odin como se fosse deus cristão (ignorando qualquer estudos sério) A extrema-direita argumenta que há uma Nova Ordem Mundial (pode inserir aqui: globalistas, illuminati, maçonaria, judeus, comunistas, Vaticano, algumas denominações cristãs, satanistas, Nasa e etc), Onde esse suposto ""grupo do mal"" controla o mundo, doutrina as pessoas para abandonar as leis cristãs, querem implantar comunismo, querer esconder a "verdade" (esse argumento é bem clichê) ou seja essas pessoas são movidas na teoria da conspiração que se baseiam nessas ideias falsas e manipuladas algumas coisas que eles falam: - Illuminati/Nova Ordem Mundial/Globalistas são controlados pelos (as vezes muda um pouco a narrativa, mas a premissa é mesma): comunistas, judeus, anti-cristo ou até mesmo controlado pelo próprio diabo - Terra é plana, muitos usam a bíblia (com uma determinada tradução) que diz que terra é plana - nega qualquer coisa vinda da Ciência (homem não foi a lua, anti-vacina, dinossauros não existiam, negam a idade de bilhões de ano da terra e etc) - algumas vezes se comportam de forma racista e xenofóbica - são anti LGBT, porque a bíblia é contra - quem discorda deles é comunista, globalista e etc Sobre neopagão racistas, supremacistas brancos, como você falou, há um romantismo distorcido que os povos germânicos eram superiores, eram os certos Por isso que muitos supremacistas branco pagão argumentam que pessoas de outras origem não podem cultuar os deuses deles (racismo/racialismo) para eles, o "Homem branco é superior a negro, indígenas e asiáticos" e usam seus ancestrais (germânicos) como justificativa para argumentar a suposta superioridade.
