nothing makes me question my mortality more than waiting 4 years to stack chapters and catching up in a day ![Crying :cry: :cry:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
The modern world hasn't really achieved actual "peace". I doubt there'll ever be peace unless structures that allow the powerful to dominate others are eliminated.I like Thorfinn, but if I'm being honest. The only way to really avoid war and have "peace" between vastly different cultures with no positive history is to have the bigger stick...
I may be wrong, but don't fleas die in the winter and only their eggs survive to hatch when it's warmer again or some shit like that?Plague rats spotted
Now its just a matter of time until the fleas jump over and infect the Lnu

They did have positive history though, that's the point of sharing bread and drink and also trading back then. Some Americans even see the benefits of farming.I like Thorfinn, but if I'm being honest.

It blows my mind that people make comments like these. It’s like you guys have completely ignored the entire purpose of the manga. This whole situation literally started BECAUSE of the Nords having the “bigger stick”. If that guy didn’t chop the Lnu’s hand off this wouldn’t have escalated to this level.I like Thorfinn, but if I'm being honest.

Good they deserve it.Plague rats spotted

The sword, begging to be used and to cut, only hastened the confrontation. The bigger stick of the Nords and the inevitable threat was always their solid seafaring culture.It blows my mind that people make comments like these.

Kinda. A lot of them cant tolerate the cold for long but some stick around. Especially if they live inside houses and natural formations that can keep in heat.I may be wrong, but don't fleas die in the winter and only their eggs survive to hatch when it's warmer again or some shit like that?
did you forget the plague? and even without that, sooner or later they would clash over land and resources.It blows my mind that people make comments like these.

The whole purpose of the manga is that violence is purposeless and it advocates for one to become a kinder, gentler person instead of being filled with anger and hate.did you forget the plague? and even without that, sooner or later they would clash over land and resources.
peaceful co-existence between any significant group of people has always been maintained by "big stick", you either have the bigger stick, or have a stick big enough that would make attacking you cost more than it worth, if you don't resist, there will always be people who want it all and take all your stuff.
to think otherwise is wishful thinking, idealistic crap that has no basis in reality.

To quote the director of the movie Starship Troopers:seems like einar is starting to be more on the war side
maybe einar and thorfinn will end up having a fight considering thorfinns complete anti war beliefs
Even the most high-minded people can have their resolve worn down by the hardships of war. It takes an iron will to still strive for peace when you're in the thick of it, because that tribalistic "ingroup good, outgroup bad" mentality is one of humanity's oldest instincts, and nothing dials it up quite like an actual battle or siege.Paul Verhoeven said:War makes fascists of us all.
Has every plague in humanity's history automatically resulted in a war? No. No they have not.did you forget the plague?
Once again, the nords brought a "bigger stick" (sword), that was the spark that lit the flames of war in the first place.peaceful co-existence between any significant group of people has always been maintained by "big stick",
By positive history, I meant like HISTORY history. Not very recent positive history but a long and trusted history of beneficial cooperation.They did have positive history though, that's the point of sharing bread and drink and also trading back then. Some Americans even see the benefits of farming.
And I think Thorfinn said this too but showing that you have the bigger stick can change the context from "we come in peace" to "we are a threat" whilst causing contempt and envy, I believe that's one of the point of the sword scene.
