"Weapon burials!"
"Germanic thing that went for hundreds of years prior."
"The sagas?"
"Yeah, okay."
"Yay, sagas!"
I guess that's how it'd go
vikings are cool, but the passion for them gets ridiculous - there really wasn't a lot going on back then because their population was never huge, you know?
like, it's up there with greeks and egyptians when I dunno if it deserves it... it's pop history and capitalism to blame
which is why I think we should have socialism.... JK
*Therefore, the European Union must be destroyed*

if sargon wants to help turn scotland into pro brexit

think going in to a store believing your nation is the greatest in the world and then you find out that some random corner store in bumfuck nowhere not only have more food but more choices then what you find in your nations best stores.

@Nordhand It's difficult to implement distribution networks in just 10 years, after half a century of communism
I think you mean a white barter economy

It was pretty bad. Went there when I was a kid. The commies had this thing called a 'Beriozka' store which took every currency *except* the ruble because they did not want to taint the people with the lavish capitalist lifestyle. It mostly sold crap and cheap beer. On the Airoflot from Stockholm to Moscba we were the only foreigners. The Nomenclatura were stuffing overhead and underseat piles of shit they bought in Sweeden. Once we settled in we found some black market guys. I traded my old gym shoes for a Soviet Cornel dress uniform fur hat. The central bank paid 70 Kopek to the dollar but on the street you could get 3-5 Rubles. Little kids took English in school but they didn't learn capitalist words like 'trade' so they would mob you holding up medals they won at school saying "change?" as in 'change this into something good' We all got piles of little soviet metals in exchange for gum because the kids thought chewing gun was an awesome treat.
