Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

I often see that norse paganism is often espouted by neofascists. I also notice stuff about how reactionaries have co-opted slavic paganism with this whole kolovrat stuff. Is this just a result of reactionaries being the loud minority and drowning out any left-wing pagan voices or do reactionaries actually have a monopoly on paganism?

from personal expierence, yes 100%

I live in the UK and i've interacted with about 10 different pagans, sometimes one on one, sometimes as part of a larger pagan group.

At the best its been full of reactoids who fetishize violence against outsiders and are openly racist.

At the worst they have literal pagan fash tattoo's and attend neo-nazi rallies in Ukraine....

The pagan-fascist-folk music link is well established, look up 'death in june'

These guys where literally going over to Ukraine during euromaiden and stoking tensions, they have an active role in the Ukraine war... not pacified pagans but active war dogs...
