I don’t know if anyone here ever had a taste for sci-fi gun porn, but the first person to introduce me to the idea of Germanic neo-paganism was a fellow named John Ringo, pulp fiction writer.
You’ve actually seen his effects on the world, he’s often credited with coining the phrase “Go Woke Go Broke.”
Anyways, he’s literally a Nazi pretending to be American libertarian. Once you get clued in to the dogwhistles they’re just… just fuckin everywhere.
Rape fetish, sexualization of minors, blatant racism, thinly veiled Wehraboo shit, he had aliens genocide everyone not white at one point while also making blonde women go into heats, like you do not understand, this is just the surface. He practically dedicated one book to explaining how “machismo culture” is why Hispanics will never amount to anything, this is not a joke.
Anyways, any one ever tells you they’re Asartu, they’re either the dumbest person on the planet or a Nazi, there are no exceptions. There simply is no value to Norse neo-paganism because the original sucked fucking ass too.
Not getting into its explicit endorsement of chattel slavery and might makes right rules of conquest, or even the human sacrifice, the only credible source we have of a “Viking funeral,” witnessed and recorded by an Arabic traveler, recounts the gang rape and murder of a slave woman as part of the ritual, and ends with a naked, presumably expendable Kievan Rus man running from the pyre covering his ass so spirits don’t get in it.
The Germanic religion is historically interesting, had a great myth cycle, one of my favorite versions of a “zombie,” and has some interesting tenets regarding things like a hereditary matriarchal spirit passed to all descendants, even the men, but it still belongs in the past, dead. There is no value in its resurrection for anyone not a Nazi.
Go be a druid or a witch or something, damn, at least when they make shit up about dead religions with no actual surviving belief structure it’s not always a cover for white supremacy.
Watch On the Rhine and Troy Rising are generally considered his biggest “mask off” moments. I gave up on him after Troy so I can’t speak for his zombie series but I must assume the evidence keeps piling up.
The thing with Ringo is there’s never one moment where he lays it all out, it’s weird little moments over his entire bibliography that turn little dogwhistles into a bullhorn.
He’ll never say he’s a Nazi, but it sure is weird how he hates all the things Nazis do and loves all the things they love.
Which is honestly a shame, he has the occasional cool idea, and I don’t mind saying I’d still read an actual ending to the Posleen War or the Looking Glass series. I think the Looking Glass actually predicted WFH and the backlash to it pretty well.
What might be interesting about him is that I’m pretty sure you could map out the “libertarian”- Tea Party - “far right” pipeline if you read him in order, he definitely gets worse over time.
I just ready a synopsis for Watch on the Rhine. That’s batshit crazy lol. That’s as clear as it gets.
And it’s a shame, I really would have liked an ending to the council wars.

John Ringo like the sci-fi author? Got any examples? I devoured his books as a teen but I never knew he was a nut.

Or maybe he just got bolder…
