Neo-Nazis have never been particularly good at reading the medieval sources they are so drawn towards.
They find what they want to find in Norse myth
–- violence, ruthlessness, an existential war that will lead to the rebirth of a new world
-– and they read no deeper

The second edition of my mother's book is finally out! If you're interested in the history of Galloway, you need this.
Get it here: uk.bookshop.org/p/books/wild-m

The cover of the new edition of Wild Men and Holy Places, featuring the Kirkmadrine stone.
The new edition beside the old, which features a detail from the Rerrick Reliquary and a medieval portrait of a bishop identified as Ninian. My copy is sadly tarnished with age and sunlight.

Claude 3.7 describes the image as: "# Theatrical Scene Analysis

This appears to be a dramatic stage production set in a gothic or medieval environment. The scene depicts a funeral or death ritual, with a figure lying horizontally on a red fabric-draped platform or altar. The setting is notably dark, with minimal lighting that creates an eerie atmosphere.

The staging includes numerous figures dressed in dark, period-appropriate clothing standing solemnly in the background. Some figures hold ca…

TL;DR: what if nationalism, not anarchy, is futile?
Since I had the pleasure of seeing the "what would anarchists do against a warlord?" argument again in my timeline, I'll present again my extremely simple proposed solution:
Convince the followers of the warlord that they're better off joining you in freedom, then kill or exile the warlord once they're alone or vastly outnumbered.
Remember that even in our own historical moment where nothing close to large-scale free society has existed in living memory, the warlord's promise of "help me oppress others and you'll be richly rewarded" is a lie that many understand is historically a bad bet. Many, many people currently take that bet, for a variety of reasons, and they're enough to coerce through fear an even larger number of others. But although we imagine, just as the medieval peasants might have imagined of monarchy, that such a structure is both the natural order of things and much too strong to possibly fail, in reality it takes an enormous amount of energy, coordination, and luck for these structures to persist! Nations crumble every day, and none has survived more than a couple *hundred* years, compared to pre-nation societies which persisted for *tends of thousands of years* if not more. I'm this bubbling froth of hierarchies, the notion that hierarchy is inevitable is certainly popular, but since there's clearly a bit of an ulterior motive to make (and teach) that claim, I'm not sure we should trust it.
So what I believe could form the preconditions for future anarchist societies to avoid the "warlord problem" is merely: a widespread common sense belief that letting anyone else have authority over you is morally suspect. Given such a belief, a warlord will have a hard time building any following at all, and their opponents will have an easy time getting their supporters to defect. In fact, we're already partway there, relative to the situation a couple hundred years ago. At that time, someone could claim "you need to obey my orders and fight and die for me because the Queen was my mother" and that was actually a quite successful strategy. Nowadays, this strategy is only still working in a few isolated places, and the idea that one could *start a new monarchy* or even resurrect a defunct one seems absurd. So why can't that same transformation from "this is just how the world works" to "haha, how did anyone ever believe *that*? also happen to nationalism in general? I don't see an obvious reason why not.
Now I think one popular counterargument to this is: if you think non-state societies can win out with these tactics, why didn't they work for American tribes in the face of the European colonizers? (Or insert your favorite example of colonialism here.) I think I can imagine a variety of reasons, from the fact that many of those societies didn't try this tactic (and/or were hierarchical themselves), to the impacts of disease weakening those societies pre-contact, to the fact that with much-greater communication and education possibilities it might work better now, to the fact that most of those tribes are *still* around, and a future in which they persist longer than the colonist ideologies actually seems likely to me, despite the fact that so much cultural destruction has taken place. In fact, if the modern day descendants of the colonized tribes sow the seeds of a future society free of colonialism, that's the ultimate demonstration of the futility of hierarchical domination (I just read "Theory of Water" by Leanne Betasamosake Simpson).
I guess the TL;DR on this is: what if nationalism is actually as futile as monarchy, and we're just unfortunately living in the brief period during which it is ascendant?

In the foreground, there are two floral-patterned upholstered chairs flanking a small round dark table, creating a cozy seating area. The room opens onto a balcony with glass railings and what appears to be outdoor furniture including a blue …

Although I have a degree in medieval archaeology and now work in environmental archaeology I've successfully avoided going in the field, strictly a PEX girl, and sometimes these days I notice the gaps in my knowledge so uncle T to the rescue.
