The Wild Hunt (https://wildhunt.org/tag/elon-musk)
TWH reports from yesterday’s Hands Off protest in Washington, D.C., where organizers say that over 100,000 attendees gathered to protest the Trump administration’s attempts to slash federal programs – some of whom were wearing pentacles and Mjolnir pendents.
Just as sane people don’t need to embrace the insanity of the Trumpies, Heathens of positive intent don’t need to take on any of the awfulness of the neo-völkisch haters and their ilk. We can make empathy a central point of what we believe and what we practice.
There are plenty of options for pushing back on this culture of weak man-children using anger to puff themselves up. One of them is to turn to myths of mighty Thor.
One Halloween, when I was young enough to still go trick-or-treating with my parents, a pair of boys from my school ran around my block chanting “Nazi! Nazi! Nazi!” while I stood there in my out-of-the-box Darth Vader or Spider-Man costume. When my dad was the age that I was then, he was in an extermination camp.
Like the followers of Odin in the long-ago time, we must be strategic. We must form the wedge that can break through the shield-wall that the richest of the rich have trumped up for themselves, a barricade built with filthy lucre and made of men willing to be bought.
