Because else they were shun by society.

That poem is like the self help woo section in the book store today

And with Christianity, killed maybe

when a book says be mindful, they are saying you aren't mindful enough now

Else who was shunned by society?

likewise that poem is trying to tell people 'love your relatives, because you arent doing it enough now'

This poem does not coincide with Christianity in low Germany

You dont have to tell peolpe to do things they are already doing

if ayn rand wrote a norse poem, maybe they were being too pastoral and family-loving

but she came centuries later

The norse were great traders as well

they were the jews of europe before the real jews

They even had a merchant marine!

Are you talking about the hanseatic league, or earlier?

What’s supremely funny to me

Is that there were tons of ascetic religious sects in ancient times

```Haavamal, 9th century, Origin Norway/ Iceland.```

But he idolized Nazis, so he had to pick a Norse pagan example

Which is a culture we all know for a fact revered wealth as literally evidence of the god’s favor

poor Germans, nobody knows any of their history but the nazis

Yeah it was written down 9th century, but I think the belief is the oral tradition predates it

RIP Goethe

Haha

no doubt, but that's my point, these guys were traders

norway has a few ships today too

Lol

funny how the jews and norse are so similar that way, as international traders

```Hanse, later spelled as Hansa,[3] was the Old High German word for a convoy, and this word was applied to bands of merchants traveling between the Hanseatic cities — whether by land or by sea.[4]

```

OH SHIT

they did not just say thi
