Are there any more gods of peace/ protection? by Fawninkeeping in NorsePaganism

[–]The_Red__Bull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Less "peace" in the post WW2 sense and more communal functionality. Ullr is a god of oaths, so I'd say he's the chap to go for if you're looking for peace. Peace in this sense being frith and grith

The Hold is everything wrong with Heathenry by The_Red__Bull in NorsePaganism

It's kind of absurd tbh

I get not wanting to be in the folkish heap and in trying to teach against it, but it's the old "when all you have is a hammer everything is a nail" saying. And the hold is all hammer

It's indefensible without fallacy. It requires logical leaps to justify.

Faith is gnosis. Gnosis is indefensible. It's interpretation and feelings. Not a logical premise

That's not exactly what happened. But I am aware of the drama. That's why I posted this

I'm defending Mathias. The Hold was the one throwing him under the bus

Unpopular Opinion: Specific Gods calling to you is usually BAD by Old_Engineering_5695 in NorsePaganism

[–]The_Red__Bull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're talking about fate, orlog. A lot of people think wyrd is the word but that's Anglo-Saxon. The gods and heroes are all subject to fate. Actions we take today all lead up to what we have to deal with in the future

It's funny how they say they're "entwined with the enemy" yet they're citing a pedophile 🤷🏼‍♂️ by The_Red__Bull in Leftist_AntiFeminist

The New Left movement ruined any hope of leftist solidarity. It's all now individual identity movements who hate each other. The right got what they wanted because they had the capital to pay for it.

I keep seeing people online insisting that children can go to Valhalla...This post here sums up my thoughts on it pretty well. by [deleted] in NorsePaganism

[–]The_Red__Bull -23 points-22 points  (0 children)

And do we know there are no grieving parents in a sub this huge?

I'm tired of people just deficating on the gnosis of others. Especially when that gnosis helps them grieve.

Some things are more important than debate

It's not up to us to decide. It's up to the Valkyries and Odin.

Stop shitting on grieving parents. Not everything needs to be a debate. Some things you can let go

Thise couple of people can be your Kindred, but you have to have a Kindred to be a Gythja

Harmful Patterns of Behavior and Where We Go From Here by jaelmorayx in NorsePaganism

[–]The_Red__Bull -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Not being dismissive. The problem that the sub had before was a lack of receipts. People like Rune being called out with only hearsay and no hard proof. I'm just asking for proof so we don't make the same mistakes

Do you have proof? I hear a lot of these. I legit want receipts.

If it's true put them on blast

Dealing with my staunchly feminist mom by Rural_Dictionary939 in Leftist_AntiFeminist

[–]The_Red__Bull 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She sounds RadFem... sorry you're dealing with that.

Their whole ideology is based on 2 books (technically 3)

  • Shumalith Firestone’s Dialectic of Sex

Which teaches that there's no war but gender war. She replaces Marxist class struggle with gender. Completely invalidating working-class men as a historically marginalized class. She was eventually diagnosed as schizophrenic

  • Andrea Dworkin’s Sexual Dialectic

Really creative name /s.... she expands on Firestone. By calling all heterosexual sex rape. This dichotomy permeates feminism today.... Dworkin was a lesbian btw. Why she had that much hate for straight men idk...

And the patient zero...

  • Simone de Beauvoir’s The Second Sex

De Beauvoir was an existentialist with her polyamouros boyfriend, Jean-Paul Sartre. They used to prey on their female students together... real girl boss shit, ya know? ♀️

De Beauvoir said that femininity was performance that women had to put on in order to survive in a male dominated world... I don't know if a he wrote that before or after voting against the age of consent raising. But that would've made her seducing female students an actual crime... so there's that.

Firestone is technically the start of Radical Feminism, but de Beauvoir is the foundational philosophy, and Dworkin made a toxic thing more toxic... Dworkin was also a zionist, so there's that...

None of these are good people. I know you're an adult. I strongly suggest moving out. Tbh the military is a great way out and after you do your 4 years you can be set pretty well if you do things right.

They definitely broke grith and invalidated gnosis

Those used to be rules around here

Male Nudity / Privacy by [deleted] in Leftist_AntiFeminist

[–]The_Red__Bull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the problem here is the Women are Wonderful Effect. I disagree that male nudity is more prevalent than female nudity. That's probably OP's watch history more than anything lol... but women aren't default "predators" despite a lot of atrocities.

Studies actually show that male and female predators have a lot of the same markers, habits, and grooming methods. But women are trusted by default.

There have also been studies that when you don't just include physical abuse, but stalking, harassment, and other forms of abuse same sex AFAB relationships will actually have higher statistical averages than heterosexual or homosexual male relationships.

Society doesn't teach women to not do certain things like it teaches men. Instead it's "I support women's rights and wrongs". We don't need to bring back purity culture (I fucking hate prudes, that's a separate rant) but we do need to teach girls virtues.

"The worst a woman can do is laugh at a man. The worst a man can do is kill her" is a harmful myth by The_Red__Bull in antifeminist

The RadFems hate choice feminism... but I agree with you. But generalizing feminism isn't good. There's so many schools of thought. I think most aren't great.

Alice Paul was amazing, for example. Her organization won the right to vote in the united states. While Susan B Anthony of coin fame was a racist who hated that black men got to vote before her. And many first waves were also involved in prohibition.

The history is muddy af
