If you aren't reading Gates of Vienna at least several times a week, you really are missing out. Its authors, fellows of some vaguely Norse provenance as far as I can tell, wander about in a sort of Parsifalian head trip, forever seeking to reclaim the lost, ahem, spear of Western cultural virility, as it were. This is plainly the target audience for a film like Beowulf, although their principle enemy, something called "PC Multiculturalism," has munched on a few fewer Danes or Geats or whatever than old Grendel. GoV's offerings combine all the best elements of race-paranoia, sexual inadequacy (fertility and birth rates are favorite themes), and English-as-a-second-language prose. For instance:
Thinking about this news report [that a Dutch warship will participate in anti-piracy activities around the Horn of Africa], it seems to me that Denmark is evolving into part of the Anglosphere. It must be all that Danish DNA that was inserted into the English gene pool before there ever was an England. So Australia is overtaken by the greenies for the moment, but Denmark is leaving the port to take care of the pirates, just as the U.S. did in her very beginnings.Perhaps you're thinking that's awfully bad geography. You're missing the point, gentlemen. The grail isn't a thing, man, it's, like, a state of mind.
The shores of Tripoli beckon once more and good strong men answer the call.

Where DO you find these things, IOZ?
Holy Morris Ankrum!
The Shores of Tripoli? Good strong men. Grendel? SPARTA!
To echo Ellen, where do you find these things?
You really don't wanna fuck with any country that has Greenland all locked up.

I remember finding it odd that Mencius Moldbug spoke highly of one of their white-nationalist screeds, and then I remembered his just as nonsensical admiration for Lawrence Auster. I've tried talking to Auster and he told me our epistemological differences prevent any productive discussion (he believes in "spiritual essences", damn data and Bayesian probability theory).
Worth noting that the Dutch did in fact conquer, and presumably inseminate, a pretty good chunk of England before it was England -- that is, back when it was Celtic, which was after it was Pictish, around the time the Danes were Angles but definitely before they were Christian.
Also worth noting that those miscegenetic mongrels are the same people who've been telling the English crown to go fuck itself since back before it was a Saxon occupation -- that is the French before they were French, but after they were Roman, which was after they were Gauls, which was before the Romans invaded, and presumably inseminated, a pretty good chunk of France before it was Saxon and England before it was Danish.
That said, a few Scots, Welsh and other "English", who were god knows what before the Picts, the Celts, the Romans, the Angles, the Saxons, and the bloody useless English fucking Crown got to them, were sufficiently happy with the Danelaw that they still determine coastal borders by the distance you can throw a stone from shore. That the "English" Crown allows these "Anglish" laws to interfere with "English" drilling rights just shows you how useless the "English" are, as a racial or ethnic category, and as a "Government".
Gene Expression presents some of the data from "Blood of the Isles" here. Goes well with Albion's Seed.
Whoops, that's actually from "Saxons, Vikings and Celts" by the same author as Albion's Seed.
Crap, right the first time. It's just published under different names.
So "Denmark is leaving port?" Why am I reminded of SNL? "Port of call - Key West!" Yep, those Viennese Gaters got theyselves some manly men, that's for sure.

Dude. That is wrong in almost every specific detail. They weren't "Dutch", they didn't exactly "conquer", the whole British / Celtic / Pictish thing is really extremely complicated and nobody can really agree on which was which, when or where, but there definitely isn't a nice linear progression, and certainly not in the way you describe. I'm not going to argue about the precise date of the Christianisation of the Angles because to even ask the question in those terms is to completely miss the point - which is that the inter-tribal politics of early Britain and Northern Europe make modern Middle East politics look neat and straightforward. As far as we can tell, anyway...
And don't even get me started on the Franks and the Gauls. Did you learn your "history" from reading Asterix comics, by any chance?

Actually, that was precisely my point. And the cartoonish presentation was an intentional, if apparently failed, attempt at humor: I found the speculation that "It must be all that Danish DNA that was inserted into the English gene pool before there ever was an England" to be worthy of mockery because England's history is complicated enough to render the Danish contribution, either genetic or cultural, at least as irrelevant to modern analysis of international relations as the few holdout pockets of the Danelaw. Not to mention that the Danes who made that contribution have at best a tenuous relation to the Dutch now.
