I love how white people bring up being Vikings but they were considered a joke for the longest time. Mainly because they lost against the Mongols in the East. Its why the Ukrainian worshipping of their Viking roots is more modern and tied to white supremacy rather than some thing traditional and historical.

I mean of course Vikings are going to lose to fucking mongols, you've got, you've got one set of guys whose whole thing is fucking around on little boats doing hit and run raids, you've got another set of guys whose whole thing is massive armies of cavalry, unless the Vikings are tricking them into a naval battle or like guerrilla warring them in some swamp somewhere they're fucked I'm sorry

The vikings also specialized in hitting areas with litteral no defensive fortifications. The english had placed their monasteries on the rocky eastern shores to prevent them from being overrun by the locals, as the local population would occasionally attack them, but since monks generally did not fight back, attacking them was sort of like attacking a university, whose students are armed with sticks, while the vikings had axes and swords. An axe typically beats a stick, particularly if the stick is wielded by a guy who mainly does yard-work for a living.
