They’re saying in the comments that his tattoos are “Nordic in nature” or “Ancient Slavic pagan symbols”.

I just can’t anymore, I thought I’d seen it all, but now the libs are worshiping literal Neo-Nazis on the frontpage of Reddit.

    Honestly, I’d be unsurprised if a lot of neofascists appropriate neopaganism simply for nationalistic reasons and not because they take it seriously.

    Unfortunately I can’t access the post now, but basically there was a neopagan on Reddit who theologically explained to me how Norse paganism actually had a neutral or positive stance on phenomena that neofascists despise, such as interracial relationships. Most (if not all) white neofascists have a piss‐poor understanding of the lore and just assume that European paganism must have been good because it was European and less Semitic than Christianity.

      Exactly. None of those “neo-pagan” nazis actually do believe, it’s all contrarianism after they read about Nietzsche shitting on christianity. A lot of them returns to “deus vult” nonsense as their herd move on through racist dogwhistles.

      Hitler himself was essentially a Neo-Pagan and wished to start a new Hitlerite religion.
