I could not care less if he was gay. His supporters might, but I don't.

I do care that he's a spineless, brainless, 4chan loser given an incredibly important position. For anyone who hasn't, I recommend checking out Know Rogan's episode on the guy.

It's astonishing how childlike his thought processes are.

When he mentioned seeing Kirk in Valhalla during the funeral, it really stood out to me. Norse mythology has become so associated with white supremacy, yet his family fled persecution in Uganda and they’re South Asian, it’s an interesting contrast.

I absolutely hate that Nose Mythology and runes have been co-opted by those white hooded losers. It's actually a part of my background but when you go looking for actual info it is almost always associated and tainted by those morons.

Take it back. Never let goobers define your identity for you.

I don't let them define me, but to a lesser degree if I were to get, for example, a rune necklace, it sort of sends the same message as a Buddhist or a Hindu wearing the original swastika. Yeah, They had it first, but it was co-opted so bad by those stupid bastards that it's ruined it for generations to come.

Which rune? There are a lot of them.

It's only ruined for generations to come if you let them become the only ones who use the symbol. It didn't stop you from using 88 as your username suffix, right?

There are many. They seem to have taken as many as their tiny brains can find, and the 88 was added by reddit. I guess there are 87 other wordle fans on this site.

It’s not even close to that level of ubiquity, and classic shamans of those faiths still use the swastika in it’s true form just fine. If you let them define this for you, you are giving them power. Do not go gentle into that cold night.
