10. In what way were Socrates, Jesus and Loki trolls, and do their individual fates reveal something in common that can be equally attributed to modern-day trolls like yourself?

I’m going to focus on Loki because he is the most archetypical figure of trolls and hackers. The Loki archetype has three defining characteristics which were repeated in tales before and after the commission of his myth to prose. The comparison of the Loki myths to the Hindu goddess Kali is the most obvious, but the similarities between Loki and many other figures in both religion and history can be quite revealing.

* Unusual level of access to all available tools/weapons. Loki was the sole innovator of the norse pantheon. Any time the Gods had a special implement Loki was the source. Thor’s hammer, the flying ships and whatnot, Loki either made it or designed it and tricked the dwarves into making it. In the case of Odin’s eight-legged horse Sleipnir, Loki birthed it. According to the Norse he was the creator of the fishing net, which had a critical role to play in mankind’s development. There is a strong mystical connection between tricksters and innovation. Similarly Kali is given all the magical weapons of the Hindu pantheon before she transforms into Mahakali, her grandest form. Throughout the gospels you can find Jesus being given gifts of tools, culminating with the two swords he receives in Luke.

* Destroys a force of greed. According to myth, Loki disguised himself to arrange the murder to Baldr. According to certain Norse prose, Baldr had commissioned the largest ship and the most beautiful hall of the times. Baldr was the Paris Hilton of his age. The son of Odin, he was never known to do anything but spend money and look good. His accomplishments are nil, but you find many mentions of his wealth and physical beauty. Baldr was decadent and without inner value, and thus Loki selected him to be destroyed. You can find this in the Kali myth as well; Mahakali annhiliates a “great beast” which threatens all of society. The rhetoric of this myth in Hinduism is very similar to that of Revelations.

* Banished or imprisoned by forces friendly to the tyrant, only to be reborn again during a time of crisis. After the death of his son Baldr, Odin became greatly angered. He rounded up a posse of the Gods and had Loki put in a prison, from which he will be released at the time of Ragnarok, which is the norse concept of apocalypse. Kali’s supposed “impurity” got banished by Vishnu, the Hindu analogue to Odin. Jesus dies and rises again to hedge against man’s exposure to the wrath of the apocalypse.

@James Bowery

Ran it through the TinEye image search engine http://www.tineye.com/ and found it posted on 10 websites/blogs.

This website http://www.joshualandis.com/blog/?p=6501 credits the picture as being taken by Ahmad Gharabli for Agence France-Presse.

He sneaks in several good points amidst the intense resentment, despair, and anger. Highlights:

Part 1: invest in weapons, food, and pussy, not plastic consumer junk
Part 2: prudence isn’t so much saving money as setting things right

Don’t white mojahedeens @ Majorityrights have any interest or desire to opine about the arrest of the prominent White Nationalist Edgar Steele on murder-for-hire plot charge?

http://www.spokesman.com/blogs/sirens/2010/jun/16/steele-very-emotional-situation/

Is that kind of event too insignificant to be even mentioned in passing here at Majorityrights?

He did have decent points, in addition to his entertaining delivery. I think he might be off about his claim that the gospels were written by people who knew Jesus, though. To my knowledge, mainstream biblical scholars think that the earliest gospel, possibly that of Mark, was probably written around 70AD, since he mentions that Jesus had prophecised the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem. Lifespans being what they were in the ancient world, they believe it unlikely that a person writing in 70CE could have lived and been an apostle of Jesus in 33CE. Christian apologists argue the opposite- that Mark only mentions the prophecy, but does not mention the fulfillment of it, signifying that it had not yet come to pass.

Excuse me, but are you the same Ivan who was placed in the tard corral today at VNN by Alex Linder?

Misguided Youth!

That should be the title of this thread.

The poor kid has a difficult life in front of him if he keeps veering off on the weird tangents he’s on.

Possibly like Soren Renner?

Do not envy us, Thorn, for ours is a high and lonely destiny.
