  • This might be too late since it circulated a lot, but the ‘Hanga Dýra Mingja’ part isn’t actually ‘Hanga Dýra Mingja’. It supposedly was old Icelandic but it makes no sense grammatically and the word Mingja does not exist in Old Icelandic. It’s more likely to be 'Hangatýr Hamingja´ and then after chanting that a couple of times they say ‘Ramr’. It makes more sense since it is a healing song, Hangatýr is Óðinn who is mentioned in the Merseburg incantations, Hamingja is Luck and Good Fortune in Old Norse, as well as a sort of guardian spirit, kind of. Ramr is strength in Old Norse. So really they are chanting ‘‘Hanging God, Spirit of Fortune (bring) Strength’’ Makes sense calling on them for healing, rather than hanging animals, I guess

    Goes kind of like this

    Hangatýr Hamingja
    Hangatýr Hamingja
    Hangatýr Hamingja
    Hangatýr Hamingja
    Hangatýr Hamingja Raaaaaaaaammmmmmmmrrrr!

  • I’d rather not have an internet argument, but I’ll give you a pointer that you can use to google for more information of the issue is of actual interest to you:

    • Mao, Stalin and Hitler were tyrants that forced their way to leadership and killed everyone who opposed them. Kissinger was the advisor of a terrorist government that existed long before him and will continue to exist.

    • “just said no, and killed that person” is a naive Disney fantasy. In actual reality people that “just say no” get vanished, tortured and killed. And their neighbours suddenly turn reaaally quiet after that. However, there is always a certain joint guitl and complicity, I agree with that. And it weighs especially heavy if “the people” are very free to protest their nation’s terrorism but don’t do so.

    There is a big difference between a single dictator being a plague upon the world for the 10-50 years he’s in power, and an nation with constently changing leadership being a permanent plague upon this world for 100+ years.

    That’s the reason why Kissinger sticks out of the list: Mao, Stalin, Hitler, Kissinger*.
