    Your name is “Viking_Hippie”. I assume you’re embracing a Scandinavian heritage of some kind.

    Vikings committed atrocities all over Europe. Genetic studies of Icelandic people indicate that their Y chromosomes are from Scandinavia and their mitochondrial DNA is from Ireland. Mitochondrial DNA only comes from your mother (from the egg).

    Why do you think Iceland was settled by mainly Viking men and Irish women? Do you think those women willingly left their homes or did they leave at the point of a sword?

      I’m embracing the modern colloquial meaning of “lives in Scandinavia” (which I have since my birth 40 years ago), not the historical “commits atrocities” meaning.

      You’d think that people would come to that conclusion by doing just a minimum of research into colloquial uses of regional terms before accusing me of embracing the worst acts of my ancestors.

      If that’s too difficult, then maybe the second half, which is much more descriptive about how I am when not discussing politics with idiots online, would be a bit of a clue 🤦
