Sunday Summary. Conor McGregor’s vs Jose Aldo. Lucia, the Swedish Tradition

Usually I wait a few days before talking about a fight, this is in order to avoid spoilers, in case people haven’t been able to see the fight live (I for one didn’t want to wait up until 5 in the morning as would have been the case last night). However, due to the fact that the fight was over in a mere 13 seconds and most of you have probably already seen it I think it is safe to talk about it. The match can be summarized in a sentence: Jose Aldo goes in and drops his guard, McGregor knocks him out with one punch. Even though I have great respect for Aldo I was rather surprised at how badly he defended himself in that single exchange, especially seeing it being so early in the fight. In my view, the beautiful things with the lighter weight-classes (featherweight is -66 kg in the UFC) are the speed, technique and endurance of the athletes. Not having a close to perfect technique as the world champion in the 66 kg weight-class is rather strange in my view. Alas such things happen and Aldo still has a great career behind him which speaks to his merit! Although it is still important to learn from this; always keep your guard up!
The interesting thing now is which path McGregor takes next. I wholeheartedly hope he jumps up a weight-class, to lightweight, which is only 4 kg’s more at 70 kg. I have always appreciated the lightweight division because of the sheer amount of competitors there in addition to the aforementioned speed and crisp technique. It would be awesome to see McGregor enter that arena and begin a glorious reign of terror in the name of Cu Chulainn.
Furthermore it is worth noting that the lightweight belt holds more prestige, not only because it is a heavier weight-class, but also because it has been in the UFC for longer than the featherweight (i.e. a more established belt)!

Lucia2

The Swedish tradition of Lucia takes place in December in remembrance of a Christian saint, alas as with all religious holy days in Sweden it is to a large degree intermingled with Paganism. A bit of Christian and a bit of Pagan, and fully Swedish. This combination, in addition to its tradition (a beautiful woman), is a nightmare given form to the Cultural Marxists, and it has been targeted by these forces during the last decade. The most notable example is putting a boy as Lucia instead of said traditional beautiful woman. This is another attack in the war on natural gender roles, and also another attack on Swedish culture (one among many).
Alas, we should not despair at such blasphemies by the Cultural Marxist establishment. Because love kills hate, and we love our Sweden more than they hate it. Christ and Thor will grace our lands once again and bring back our traditions. The only thing I lament is the generation who are now growing up without a sense of tradition in these things. To give an example, I am not even baptised, and thus not Christian per se, but I have really fond memories of our school ceremonies that took place in the local church (primarily around Yule/Christmas time). School ceremonies that takes place in churches are now beginning to become more rare due to not wanting to offend non-Europeans (primarily Muslims). This however, is unacceptable and something we will change in the coming decade!

Lastly, instead of a weekly beard update I will leave you all with a picture of some deer that we saw upon a hike a few weeks back (I might add the video sequence into a coming video). Speaking of videos I have a good few really interesting topics to share on my channel in the coming week.

 

Sunday Summary. Finland’s Independence Day and Swedish Heroism. Islamist Attack in California. Assassin’s Creed Rouge Review

Today is Finland’s independence day and as such we should commemorate those who fought in the Winter War (part of the Second World War). I would say that not only the Finnish people have cause for remembrance but also the Swedish people, and in particular Swedish men. I am not saying this in any attempt to acquire additional glory for myself but rather in the sense that it should serve as an inspiration for myself and for other Swedish men. For those who are unaware almost 9000 Swedish men decided to go over to Finland in order to fight. Now these men were obviously not the only ones who volunteered to fight Communism in the Second World War (large numbers from all over Europe joined the German effort in fighting the Bolsheviks). However, why I mention the Swedish volunteers in particular is because of the foolish notion harboured by lesser men that Sweden’s role in the war was in some way not glorious. Although one should be kind and understanding to these people who just do not know any better it is important to not let their misguided views stand unopposed. The Swedish response then was one I am genuinely proud of (just as I am ashamed of Sweden today), the Swedish state did not order its men to die in a war that wasn’t theirs and yet the opportunity was there for those who wanted to aid against the invasion of Finland, and aid against the greater threat of Communism. Thanks to their bravery and skill Finland remained free from Soviet oppression. That willingness to fight against an anti-European force and to fight for one’s brothers is something that must inspire European men today.

Moreover an attack by Islamists occurred in California during the past week, which sparked discussions regarding gun control. I am personally very pro-guns in the American case, this is due to the fact that the United States is founded upon a principle of liberty (and the right to bear arms is the second amendment in their constitution). This is also a topic which I probably will cover in a coming video as it is an interesting one to discuss. Alas I think it is in order to share one of the most profound arguments for an armed citizenry here as well, and that argument is quite simple in its nature: criminals and terrorists will have the ability to acquire arms regardless of regulations which puts regular citizens at a severe disadvantage.
And for all Americans who are reading these words: Never give up your arms.

I have played through Assassin’s Creed: Rogue and my verdict is the same as with Black Flag: A brilliant game. The only downside is that it was a bit too short, which I suppose in a way speaks well of the game. It takes place during the French and Indian War in the Americas. What makes this game more interesting in my view than any of the others is that you for the first time join the Templars and fight against the Assassins. I suppose most of you who are reading this (and have played any AC game) will agree that the Templars are a bit more righteous than the sometimes SJW-like Assassins, and thus it felt good to fight against them in the game! Another thing I really liked with the game is that the main character is Irish and the name of your ship is (as the picture below reveals) The Morrigan. Morrigan is a figure in Irish mythology. Lastly, Haytham Kenway (pictured above) is present in the game, definitely one of the most glorious characters in the series, you actually play as him in the beginning of Assassin’s Creed 3. And also playing through this game I am glad that I decided to play through Assassin’s Creed 3 to get the whole story as there are a lot of references to AC3 in Rogue.

Lastly I would come with a beard update but since it still hasn’t reached the stage of gloriousness I will leave you with a picture of the beard of Charlemange. Speaking of which I am looking forward to the release of this game very much (it is a DLC to Attila) which will be out in a few days. I will also make a few let’s plays of the game, playing as the Danes (the only Viking faction present) in order to raid England!

Sunday Summary. Turkish-Russian Tensions. Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Review.

The breaking news of this week has been the Turkish attack upon a Russian fighter jet, I covered this topic in this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vpAlvD9_bU). As five days has passed since I, and many with me, have been made aware of some of the ongoings of the Turkish state. Given deeper scrutiny it is obvious that Turkey is a rather corrupt nation, especially in regards to its friends. For anyone who has followed the geopolitical scene of the region for some time you will know that the Kurds have had a long conflict with the state of Turkey. The Kurds are now fighting the Islamic State. Following the reasoning of the enemy of my enemy is my friend it is easy to see why Turkey would take offence towards Russia destroying ISIS. Furthermore it is interesting to note how Turkey have been buying oil from the Islamic State; a partner in crime against the Kurds as well as a lucrative trading partner!

Now, onto the relationship between Turkey and Russia. Given the information above it is easy to understand why Turkey would be hostile towards Russian interference in the region. Moreover it is interesting to take into account the history between the two powerful nations. The featured picture of this article is one from the Crimean War, in which the Turkish side triumphed over the Russian side. The Ottoman Empire did not manage to defeat the Tzar by themselves however, but was supported by an alliance consisting of France, Great Britain and Sardinia. Now, almost 200 years later, Turkey is yet again in a military alliance with France and Great Britain. However the question remains how willing France is to co-operate with Turkey considering its ally (ISIS) committed a horrendous attack in Paris itself just a few weeks back. Should Turkey continue its aggression towards Russia, and continue to deal with ISIS, it will be interesting to see how NATO responds to that, especially France. A final note on ISIS, which may be the cause for some disagreement; even though ISIS was created by NATO as a means to topple Assad it is not the case that USA necessarily must support the terror organisation as it stands at the moment. Seeing it in the long-term, Donald Trump has voiced his support for what Putin is doing in the region, i.e., demolishing ISIS.

Now, onto something less dramatic! I just finished Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag. And to summarise the game in one single word: Brilliant. Much better than the third (which I wrote about in last week’s summary). And when comparing the two I understand a bit better why AC3 got a bad reputation.
I really liked the scenery and environment in the game, one tend to miss the warmth of the sun and clear blue waters when in Northern Europe in November, so it was nice to get a dose of that via the game at least! Although perhaps not as satisfying for the lover of history and architecture (in comparison toward’s when you are in Italy and Constantinople), the overall feel of the game was one of the age of exploration, although set a bit later than the hey-day of the Conquistadors you still get to explore ancient Mayan temples etc. which I found very glorious!
A feature which is quite prominent in this title as opposed to previous ones is the many missions involving ship battles, which was a nice addition even though I prefer the regular game-play.
Now onto Assassin’s Creed: Rogue, which I’ve also heard a lot of positive things about!

Lastly I would like to encourage you to head over to RightOn.net for some quality reading by my friend Anton Stigermark. I assume that most of you reading this are also fans of Game of Thrones, if you for some reason have not seen the series I highly suggest that you do so, you are definitely in for a treat! In this highly interesting essay Anton discusses the political (leftist) radicalism of Daenerys Targaryen, the Mother of Dragons. https://www.righton.net/2015/11/29/enter-the-dragon/
Furthermore available on RightOn is my 5 Steps for a Glorious Physique, which proved to be quite popular: https://www.righton.net/2015/10/11/5-steps-for-a-glorious-physique/

Lastly, as per weekly basis, a beard update is due. Unfortunately the beard has not attained optimal glory yet so I will leave you with an epic screenshot of Edward Kenway (and his beard) above instead!
