We need a total and complete shutdown of all Ivy League anthropology departments until we can figure out what the hell is going on.

Interesting that Viking battle-axes used to rape and pillage defenceless seaside villages are fetishised by some Scandanavians/Europeans/Americans today as "rad" and "totally awesome as fuck" -- that's truly sick.

And, it is probably part of the broader psychological denial of the gruesome history of bloody violence, on which modern Western capitalist hegemony is founded. a-little-trolling

    Damn, imagine living in a country that values its violent history. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to play my favorite video game, Red Dead Redemption 2.

      That game is actually good for a western because it acknowledges that westward expansion is genocidal. And it shows that escalating brutality is directly correlated with escalating presence of Pinkertons and cops.

      It's still a mass murder simulator though. Like spray painting "this is critical satire" on the side of my killdozer
