    Kirk isn’t in Valhalla he died dishonorably with no weapon in hand.

      I dunno, he had his microphone. That’s the only weapon he ever seemed to need.

        Although I agree he used hate speech as a weapon I haven’t seen any evidence that would lead me to believe Norse mythology would accept such an abstract definition of weapon in this scenario. I may be wrong though I am hardly an expert.

          Sure, but we’re talking about Valhalla which is most certainly not a real place.

            Sure but I was evaluating if Valhalla was a real place would he enter. Suspension of disbelief is a thing.

              OK, are there requirements for what sort of weapon you should be holding? I can go look it up but you might already know.

                It’s mainly about being in battle and holding a weapon I just have no idea what specifically is meant by "battle"and “weapon” in the Norse cultural context.

                  Im’ma go see

                  edit: seems that Valhalla is the hall in which the warriors heal every night and Ragnorok is the “eternal” battle that’s some real apocalyptic shit of fighting day in and day out but never winning.

                  I see why these Christofascists embrace it.

                  But all who fall in battle will be Odin’s adopted sons, doesn’t seem like you need to have swung your sword. So, Eugene the supply clerk who catches one in the back is going to Valhalla just as much as Chad the legendary warrior.

    Ahh yes the warrior Kash Patel who never served in the military, praising Charlie Kirk as a warrior who also never served in the military.

    Can they just be fucking normal for once? Just say I’ll see you in heaven. There that’s it, and you get to pander to your base.

    Might as well have said see you in Sto’Vo’Kor.

    Oh also,

      Their ashes will pave the road to Gre’thor. The cowardly and the damned will tread upon them for an eternity of suffering.

    You only go to Valhalla if you died in battle or hang yourself from an ash tree.

        Yggdrasil is an ash tree, so it had some cultural significance.
