    Aw, what’s the matter? Promoting idealist nonsense and “pride in heritage” had attracted reactionaries and outright Nazis? Who could have possibly seen it coming

      What’s wrong with nordic runes? Or nords in general? I feel like that’s pretty common to have infiltrators, conservative weridos, or fascists in any heritage group, and it’s the duty of that group to stamp them out.

      As a Slav you should be well aware that there are some really weird Neo Nazi shitheads that “””glorify””” Slavic heritage, but that won’t stop us from celebrating it.

        I’m Russian Jew. If you think I even look Slavic, I have a bridge to sell.

        As for your question:

        that’s pretty common to have infiltrators, conservative weridos, or fascists in any heritage group

        You have answered it yourself. This is what is wrong. You’re correct about Slavic neo-nazis and their apparent connection with nao-pagans. It’s the same with other “heritage groups”. If something is a common vector for reactionaries and outright Nazis, is it really “the duty of that group to stamp them out”? Or is it the growth medium?

          You don’t need to “look” Slavic to be Slavic. Slavic isn’t a “race” it’s an ethnicity and culture. You’re a Russian Jew, and unless your family materialized 20 years ago out of the blue, immigrated from somewhere else, or are from another ethnic group in Central Russia or Siberia, you’re most likely Slavic.

          Also are you really making the claim that celebrating history and culture is a “Growth Medium” for right-wing activity and because of that those celebrations should be halted? Especially if those Nazi groups have commandeered aspects of that culture against the will of those people?

          With Christianity, you have right-wing Christians (fundamentalists) and left-wing Christians (Sandanistas). Who says there can’t be left-wing pagans?
