This July I was fortunate enough to be able to return back to the Faroe Island, where I've got many friends and where it's so jolly, tradional and great to be during the Olai - St. Olaf Day's Celebrations. I hope you'll enjoy this video, but to be frank there were so many great experiences I simply couldn't capture it all. The Faroe Islands needs to be experienced in person!

I will gladly join you there for a pint or five! We need to start awakening our People and come together in peace to fight back against this woke Agenda and "liberal world order" as they now call it. We need to wake up our friends and neighbors who are still asleep to what's been happening to our People and Land. We don't need to hate anyone or want anyone genocided. We just need to take care of our own kind, because everyone else is taking care of their own kind except us!

Reint geografisk så tipper(!) jeg at Færøyene er del av den kaledonske fjellkjeden, som går (eller gikk) helt fra Norge (hvertfall fra Jotunheimen, men også opp i Nord-Norge tror jeg) til Skottland og Irland. Mye av fjellkjeden er nå selvfølgelig under vann. Forøvrig veit jeg fint lite om kontinentalsokler og slikt :-p

Celebrations for church and holidays no longer exist here. We used to have great Feasts for our holy people and heroes. Today if I see another white person on the way to the store I am lucky.

Hei Sturla, I have had quite lot of unpleasant messages because I refuse to condemn the Islands and the faroese people, it changes nothing for me, one of the things I find very strange is that Duolingo refuse to cover the Faroese language, they cover Klingon, which is a none existant race from Star Trek, I feel that people should study the geography, geology, economy and Faroese culture before they make bad comments.

Not sure if you know the history of the Orkneys, but was there ever a "maiden king (queen!)" ruling there in the 10th century? Or was that a subtle insertion of wokeness into The Northman movie? If the Ornkeys had a queen in charge, then cool. I'm good with that. I'm not good with replacing actual history and culture with "The Message!" (hilarious Critical Drinker youtube channel reference for those not in the know!)
@victorkreig6089

Less wokeness and more for them trying to be a bit intricate in their narrative. Some liberties were taken for the movie but they tried *very* hard to keep it authentic, and honestly barring the CGI fox which for some reason they felt like they needed to do and the weird yggdrasil vision of his children he had the thing did a very good jon of mimicking old(70's/80's) scandinavian movies where the actually cared abiut relstive authenticity over style

2/3 About the pride stuff: thankfully its been kept pretty distant from the celebration (which i think sadly is mostly celebrated in trøndelag and faeroes?). The only time it was really intertwined and annoyed me was in the premier opening when the mayor began preaching about ukraine and pride ect, which was very out of place. I've talked to many of the ones who have been in the SNK community for a long time, and they are sick of this. It has nothing to do with st. Olav and the ones running the whole show is an elite group who has very little to do with the local celebration or the culturally works on stiklestad.
@SnusKing
@SnusKing 2 года назад
3/3 . Theres alot of iffy stuff going on.. one year for example a woman from oslo who'd been there for a couple of days and preaching some irrelevant shit got the stiklestad price, instead of many good candidates whose given life to this tradition for years.. this will not go another year, and if the rumored plans for spelet 2030 is correct, its going to be major backlash to say mildy. Many of these with the pride art and such uses the argument that its breaking boundaries and is brave, but its absolutely horseshit. Christianity has gone through most of it and if they really where going to be brave with the pride stuff do the same painting with islam. They would never do it because theyre som obnoxious, hypocritical to-sided with huge agendas... the real argument here though is that its out of place. i could write an essay on this. And there has also been other stuff like that spelet is problematic since st. Olav is "mansplaining" to a woman that you cant carry the child out in the forrest. Like what the actuall fuck? Its 1000 years ago, and is connected to kristenmannsretten. Why? They try to connect olav with the abortion debate in usa, like they want to know olavs opinion on abortion. What a bunch of bafoons. As i said i could write an essay, where i academicly go through this mess. Its wild to me that this is a thing.

2 weeks ago the Faroes eliminated over 100 Bottle nose dolphins, this was the highest number in 124 years. This is separate from the whales. I can understand people wanting to preserve traditions, but is this really necessary on such a scale, at a time of wildlife decline. I find it a bit selfish, as these dolphins swim throughout the North Sea, and many rural / coastal small businesses operate whale and dolphin sightseeing boats in Britain, Norway etc, so this just reduces the chances of the tourists seeing them in the wild, and it's a real shame, as for many people it might be their only chance to ever see one, if they live far from the sea, or in a big city. Also, Faroe Isles could be making a fortune from these boat trips, but instead they are destroying them, it's madness. I googled Faroes Isles whale sightseeing, and the first result was a page about coming to see them all being butchered. I really think they'd make more money showing them alive at sea, than being attacked with the sea red with blood. I read that dolphin meat is not even popular. If the Faroese are in need of protein, just send a boat south to Britain and we'll fill it up with plenty of beef, lamb and turkeys.😁
