Yeah I'm not here for this. I just felt this massive wave of fatigue wash over me as I read it.

Like it or not you're going to run into weirdos in just about every hobby. All preemptively judging people does is teach people to keep to themselves. We're already building up a society of loners where people struggle to connect to each other with various other causes(loss of third places for example). We don't really need something like this pushing people further apart, especially when that ultimately drives peoples empathy for each other down too.

Yeah, I have a fondness for Norse history but mostly from a sustainability perspective. The people who settled Iceland were incredibly efficient with their resources and I think we could learn a lot from the turf houses they built... But I am about as far left as a person can get. I want open boarders, worker co-ops, the abolishment of billionaires, free college / healthcare, and a slow and steady attempt to pursue communist goals.
