“Sons of Odin” ? Is this a white supremacist gang like KKK, Nazis, etc or your own word choice?
Sons of Odin are a Canadian white supremacist movement with Viking inspired iconography and a stated mission to "stop the spread of Shariah Law". They were started in 2018 and started with a very media-savvy push as a "service organization" doing park clean ups and handing out water and granola bars to homeless people. Their intent was to grow to spread their Xenophobia and anti-islamic rhetoric.
They aren't a large group, maybe 15k members coast to coast and that's spread pretty thinly. As for why I picked them? I dunno- memorable name and more "Canadian" than name dropping the Klan.
Thanks for clarification. It's sad they try to ruin mythos that we should be able to embrace as unifying, within ourselves and with each other, by using it to divide.
Despite every horrible thing they stand for - it is completely reasonable to me if the thing you're most pissed at them for is cultural appropriation of Norse Mythology. I know when people use my country's flag in their hate-fests, it angers me almost as much as the hate itself.
It's not the most anything to me, I just think it's sad along with other things. A sad sad situation, all around.
