You Become What You Hate
Interesting look at the cultural lack of a White culture like Norway; leading to arson, suicide and murder.
Whites here create cultural artifacts like Black Metal whose sheer awfulness perfectly-exemplifies a cultural decline into superficiality. Art, here, becomes not a celebration of life - good and bad - but a self-indulgent celebration of death and destruction.
The subjects here speak for themselves (& are very forthcoming), yet the obvious dissatisfaction of these neo-Vikings with their present-day culture remains unchallenged, like Hippies, they proffer no workable alternatives; veering toward criminality, instead. An example of the extreme boredom, ennui, self-destruction & malaise that can occur in any extremely-homogeneous (ie, meaningless) culture created by the White supremacist tendencies of the Christian Church and its knee-jerk assessment that all its enemies are Satanists; ie, anything non-Christian is Devil worship.
But rather than celebrate Paganism, the White whining here comes from a sense of a loss of culture and its replacement by something non-autochthonous is childishly-retrospective; thereby, focusing on something that cannot be changed without the invention of a time machine. But this entails becoming an exact mirror of the things they hate by trying to destroy Christian churches.
It is peculiar that Whites, for centuries, can only seem to celebrate their cultures as a necessary part of destroying others. No wonder Whites have the highest suicide rates.
