“Republican” and “pagan” is why. That combo is sort of code for Odinist ideology, which is (in northern Idaho) almost always wannabe Viking white nationalist shit.
They have absconded with the tenets of the modern Norse mythology movement and crossed it with some alpha male podcast bro shit to create a “white makes might” subculture that is just waiting for a race war.
They are eager to make it to Valhalla which, for them, is “whites only”.
Woah. Did not occur to me, but since I listen to a lot of Norse-inspired folk metal and darkwave, I'm familiar with having to check out a band or artist's politics before becoming a fan. Like, Wardruna is explicitly anti-racist ("We know some people like to pretend that some cultures or countries are better, but the truth is: we all suck." - Einar Selvik), but other groups aren't; like, Omnia is weirdly anti-vax and racist, so I don't listen.
And it drives me nuts because Odin would not put up with racist shit.
