Update - The movie's score is really confusing. Throwing in bagpipes and shit.
I feel like any pre-modern place near the arctic circle without much growing land is going to need to rely on animal products to some extent, especially in winter. Fish, whale, oysters, maybe cheeses?
That makes a lot of sense. So does that technically mean that Vikings were vegan as a society since they didn't have access to other food supplies?
"Veganism" is an ideology, a product of the same capitalist mechanisms that created the global meat industry and turnrd meat and other animal products into a daily staple for much of the world. It's a reaction to that reality; a moral rejection of animal product consumption made possible by the fact that now we live in a world where you can feasibly only consume plants year-round.
The vikings couldn't be vegan, not just because their environment probably necessitated them eating some animal products, but because the very concept of veganism wouldn't be able to emerge in their world. The proper conditions didn't exist yet.
They wouldn't have sheep to raise if they were vegan though
:think-mark:
That's a first worldist isolationaist perspective. There would be no viking conflict but there is still the oppression of the dragons by the really big dragon.
Oh shit learning words and having a fun discussion from a shit post
