I read this because of the stunning and provocative title, somehow it was even dumber than I expected.

>this guy doesn't get Valhalla or even the concept of afterlife more broadly, actually

>"the number nine symbolises pregnancy" (what?)

>lots of poor attempts at comparison of symbols

>written in the stream of consciousness style, attempts no systematic analysis, just sticks to abusing elements of Norse myth in order to push bizarre and ridiculous interpretations of it

>some of it is literally just incoherent ramblings, like the parts on Dwarves

>he doesn't even attempt to define or engage with the overarching worldview of Norse myth, instead contents himself with deriding honour culture for some reason? I can't tell if he's trying to promote extreme cynicism or just being edgy or whatever

The text reads like something written with the express purpose of discrediting every form of actual myth analysis by association. To list all necessary criticisms would be a huge challenge, I've only bothered to address what I found most relevant. The whole article is just a big mess. If you're interested in myths and symbols, try looking into someone qualified instead. "The Myth of the Grail" by Evola can offer some contrast on Arthurian myth, for example.

He also simps for a French prostitute turned based E-girl who recently turned out to be a zionist honeypot

It doesn't get much worse than this if I have to be honest. Everything from the perspective he adopts to the analysis is just awful. I am surprised these people even find an audience, it's probably due to the difficulty in finding a good examination of the topic.

Yeah seems like agitprop.

Probably exactly the opposite. Norse mythology is a continuation of the indo european mythology that reigned throughout Europe and eurasia. Norse (and deutsch) influence throughout our european history is not taught enough. How many people know that the Norse ruled greece, rome, spain and eurasia? I guess very few.

    If there's anything I think our movement needs to avoid it's this type of ridiculous hobby obscurantism.

    Who cares about this rubbish? Who would be convinced to help the European race after reading this tripe?

      Pluto is no longer considered a planet, but it had been for quite some centuries.

      Pluto was discovered in 1930 and Uranus and Neptune weren't known until the 1750's and 1850's.so I don't think this is your answer

      The jewish tree of life is a copy of yggdrasil.
      Persians still celebrate the norse tradition Yule (Christmas).
      The norse mythology is interlinked to the middle east (midgård) and the æsir (asians). But one has to understand that the Norse and germanic people were widespread everywhere in Europe & Eurasia through the use of horse chariots & superior ships.
      The dwarfs, giants, elves and so on were actual people.
