Vikings are shit, whenever they came up against a trained and organised force they got btfo.

>>480844
Is that why they were hired as the Roman Emperor's personal bodyguard?
>>480851
To prevent a uprising from his guard.
>>480835
That shit image is still going around?
It's almost as bad as the one about monks and classical literature.
>>480858
It's factual.
>>480900
even their gods were fucking faggots
>>480900
>It's factual
Misleading statements can easily be factual.
>>480909
What is misleading about highlighting Viking inferiority when faced with organized resistance?
>>480920
Raiding forces are necessarily inferior to organized resistence of the kind they encountered in those battles, that says nothing about the competence of the warriors in fighting in general or their abilities as raiders.
Also, I've never heard anyone say that vikings were great conquerors in the same sense romans, macedonians, mongols or so on were.
So it's misleading because it's fighting against a strawman, using slimey tacticts while pretending to be informative.
>>480929
Well I must say I do appreciate this tone much more than
>vikings were unstoppable force and the best warriors of their time prove me wrong
Yes the Norsemen were accomplished warriors, no one disputes that. However to say that they were obviously superior to everyone else is utter nonsense.
>>480929
Raiding is not fighting unless killing unarmed people can be considered a ''fight''. The farmers didn't have any weapons did they?
>>480943
>However to say that they were obviously superior to everyone else is utter nonsense.
I've never heard anyone seriously saying that. Muh-samurai-type guys excluded.
>>480950
>Muh-samurai-type guys excluded.
Well OP fits that description rather nicely.
>>480949
Raiding often entails fighting small size battles against armed opponents, just not against armies.
>buttblasted christcuks
>any moment in time
Pick two
>>480956
He's not being serious. Making outrageous claims is a good way to have people discuss a certain issue.
Just saying "well what about vikings guyz" will earn you a lot less replies than stating the vikings were the best thing since sliced bread.

If I had to wager, I'd say 75% of the neo-pagan commuinty are furries.
>>480851
You mean the guard full of Anglo-Saxons
>>480957
raiding opponents in fishing villages?
>raided and traded from North America to Persia
>conquered England twice, occupied North England for two centuries, having a considerable effect on the English language

>Byzantines recognized their prowess and formed the Varangian guard
Vikings literally were the best warriors of their time
>>480980
varangian guard got their ass kicked as well
>>480980
>North America
they didn't raid NA but they run away from native americans
such fierce warriors
>>480973
look at their papasmurf (picrelated), the guy was a known cocktaker since his early days. started with "muh ancestors" in prison because he was repeatedly raped by somalis. trying to reasure his manliness, got fanatic about it, betafags and robots all over the world started following him.
>>481000
>started with "muh ancestors" in prison because he was repeatedly raped by somalis.
sick part about that shit is, that it is true
>>481000
How revolting.
Wow there seems to be a lot of hate directed at a subset of people in northern Europe during the late 1000's, not to mention people that are pagans.
>>481011
That explains why the Germanic population is full of furries.
>>481033
Yeah it's really sick.
>>481000
This is some stellar bullshit without a citation.
>>480828
>Beat Irish
Who is Brian Beru?
>>481235
Someone that was slain by vikings?
>>480828
Saxons pretty much were the vikings
>>481239
Slain while kicking their ass out of the country.
>>480849
>literally beaten by a Christian bookworm that had just gotten out of a swamp
Shameful.
>>481250
God forgive your ignorance.
>>480920
Ayyyyyy M&B mod

This guy is clearly false-flagging and you all are retarded for believing it
>>481250
>Slain
>Fleeing Viking stumbles into tent of an elderly Brian Boru praying
>Hacks him to death
>Promptly gets taken to a hill where his intestines are tied around a tree so he can be ravaged by ravens for two days
All awhile given a great view of his fellow norsemen drowning in in the Irish sea
>>480858
You mean this one?
Why do we still have these fucking threads?
>>480974
Anglo-Saxons didn't join until after the Norman conquest of England.
>>480828
What a lot of people forget is that vikings were not soldiers, they were largely normal farmers, workers etc who had little training and experience. Obviously if you put an army like that against a trained Anglo-Saxon force they're gonna loose.
