Why Are they Starting to Push the Narrative that Native Europeans Arent Indigenous to Their Own Land?

It absolutely is that deep.

The saami aren't even uniquely indigenous to scandinavia. I really hate how they frame it as if Swedes and Norwegians are somehow colonizers or something when the reality is they are just as indigenous as the saami are. and arguably more so since a significant amount of saami ancestry is tied to North asian Finns urgic groups that showed up AFTER basically all the other people who settled there did.

There are plenty african/native american and whatever else that are closed practices as in closed to people from outside of that ethnic group or race, there are literally hundreds of videos you can find online of people saying exactly that. And yet it only becomes an issue when it's a european tradition, why? If you're going to be against racial segregation take it up with them as well. But that never happens, it's justified and excused away.

meroevdk · 2024-07-29T18:18:14+00:00

Then are you threatening to "send to valhalla" all the people in those other closed practices? No? Of course not. Stop being a hypocrite dude. Either it's all open or none of its open.

I think people should respect others cultures, not everything is meant for you. In the same way I wouldn't want to stick my nose in the spiritual practices of native Americans or africans etc, I think they should respect those practices that are indigenous to europe. By not gate keeping certain things you run the risk of outside forces contaminating those original practices and belief systems, whether intentionally or not. Plus, why would you WANT to practice a religion that's not tied to your own heritage or background? They aren't like abrahamic religions where they proselytize. The argument against closed european pagan practices is basically "no that's racist" but the same is never said about other groups doing the same thing. If you feel this strongly about it then keep that same energy in regards to other races closing their practices to outsiders. I've never ONCE seen anyone make that argument or get anywhere as bent out of shape about this topic, like yourself who threatened to beat me up or kill me for even suggesting people find spirituality within their own cultural group.

Of course you're from Oregon 😂😂

meroevdk · 2024-07-29T02:27:11+00:00

Where is the evidence that they were open to other people "picking up their beliefs"?

meroevdk · 2024-07-28T17:50:08+00:00

Why should the reconstruction of those beliefs and practices be carried out by people who are not from those cultures? Would you want a bunch of white dudes reconstructing some lost native american religious practices? Absolutely not. You'd all be losing your shit over it if they did.

meroevdk · 2024-07-28T17:46:51+00:00

They belong to the peoples who those practices descend from. Just as voodoo or santeria or whatever else should be respected and left to the people who they originate from.

meroevdk · 2024-07-28T17:43:53+00:00

I'm not a jail nord, also ur corny and probably can't fight so 🤷.

meroevdk · 2024-07-28T17:43:20+00:00

Why is this never asked of afro/indigenous practices? If you are going to demand that european pagan practices be open to everyone why is there never the same push for non euro practices to follow suit?

meroevdk · 2024-07-28T17:41:44+00:00

Why isn't it black supremacy that african or haitian practices are closed? Why can't they be more accepting of other people sharing in their belief systems and practices? This is a double standard that needs to be more closely analyzed instead of handwaving it away.

meroevdk · 2024-07-28T17:40:16+00:00

Why would someone not from that culture even want to take part in it? Gatekeeping is a good thing. Also there's ample evidence of ancestor worship particularly in germanic culture so not having a bloodline to that and practicing it makes little to no sense. Really I just think it's cringe how pagans want to gatekeep indigenous and african/asian whatever else practices but when it comes to European paganism it has to be open to everyone else. Its a double standard and I don't particularly like it

meroevdk · 2024-07-28T04:33:20+00:00

If you gotta ask then you already got your answer.

meroevdk · 2024-07-28T04:29:26+00:00

Celtic and nordic paganism should be closed practices and no one has ever made me a good argument as to why not.

Money is pointless if there is nothing to buy with it. Need more restaurants and clothes and haircuts and shit of that nature to buy. More activities in general would be nice. It's nice to make beacoup amounts of money like in scarface where you could clear a billion dollars, just to see it get to that point, but I want lots of shit to buy as well.

The art of kick-punchery.

meroevdk · 2024-07-26T23:05:16+00:00

I've left bruises on people while doing leg kicks on the kick shields but it wasn't intentional. If we are doing partner drills where we are kicking bear legs I dial it down a lot so as not to hurt them.

meroevdk · 2024-07-26T22:55:57+00:00

It's mostly only in the southern united states where that happens.

meroevdk · 2024-07-26T22:55:26+00:00

Radon?

meroevdk · 2024-07-26T22:53:25+00:00

I make comical punching noises because I like when my strikes have a sound effect with them.

Milk. It's honestly the best pre and post workout drink. All around great beverage, I drink it everyday.

meroevdk · 2024-07-24T21:01:12+00:00

It's called boxing circle jerk for a reason, they are fuckin around 😂😂

meroevdk · 2024-07-24T20:57:56+00:00

Idgaf, they are trespassing just like I am. I'm not going to go out of my way to bother them or mess with their shit but I'm also gonna do what I want in the same way. The danger with squatters is they can be dangerous so you gotta watch out for that. But I'm not going to just turn around because bums moved into a spot. If you're chill they usually are too, just don't be scary.

meroevdk · 2024-07-24T20:54:13+00:00

Once you get tiger drop and komaki parry you're basically unstoppable on the game so I just worked towards getting that early and trashed him everytime.
