Today while reading about rapes and crimes by middle eastern immigrants in Sweden it hit me that it might be carma - in early middle ages vikings were going on tours around europe raping and murdering and a lot of them stayed in the invaded territories just like middle eastern invaders now.

Myth.

that's a strange way to look at things

The word raping doesn't mean the same as what we see it as now, well, the older meaning still exists but the older one is closer to pillaging. Vikings 'raping' was more taking the resources of a place they are invading as part of war.

Yeah, but if you look at the rhetorics of the regressive/alt/green left, that's what they are actually using to justify everything the immigrants/immigration tourists are doing. I'm not sure if they've used rapes as an excuse, but if they haven't, that's only because they haven't figured it out yet.

have you thought for a moment before hitting post on this OP? cause if you did, maybe this thread wouldn't exist

Vikings or IKEA, either of them.

You sure? I mean when you're already pillaging a village why pass on the raping? Those were men a long time alone on sea and the road.

Even ignoring the fact that there are other nations that deserve that more (*cough* Belgian colonial rule *cough* Armenian genocide by the Turks *cough* Germany 7-1 Brazil *cough*), this doesn't make sense.

The Swedes went east, instead of west, into Russian and Finnish lands. It was only a relatively recent development that they were forced west, and they only went as far as to take some clay from Denmark and swallow Norway entirely. Not something I'd wish for the annihilation of a people for, unless the Finns managed to somehow meme this storm up.

I have, I looked at forum hot topics and decided that it needed spicing up. Nintendo Switch topics are zzzzzzzzzz
