'''Varg Vikernes''' {{lived|11 February 1973}} (born as '''Kristian Vikernes''', legal name '''Louis Cachet''' since 2008)<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20180813072650/https://thuleanperspective.com/2014/06/02/some-facts-about-varg-vikernes-his-case/ Some Facts about Varg Vikernes & his Case]</ref> is a Norwegian [[heavy metal|black metal]] musician, arsonist, murderer, [[Gun nut|gun lover]], [[Authoritarianism|authoritarian]] [[wingnut]], [[Neopaganism|neopagan]], [[Neo-Nazism|neo-Nazi]], [[White nationalism|white nationalist]] and [[white supremacy|supremacist]], [[Racialism|racialist]],<ref>{{a|1=https://plus.google.com/114050247089410810118/posts/B775FHYrxeg|2=Varg Vikernes in the YouTube comments section on "race"}}</ref> [[Antisemitism|anti-Semitic]] [[Christophobia|Christophobic]] and [[Islamophobia|Islamophobic]] [[conspiracy theorist]], [[Antifeminism|anti-feminist]], [[anti-vaxxer]], [[food woo]] promoter, [[hard green]] [[prepper]], and general [[crank]]. He spent part of his childhood in [[Iraq]], where he claims no one would touch him because he was white. Vikernes has all the appearances of "doing a [[Bobby Fischer]]" as his crank-level seems to be increasing exponentially as he ages (he already has the beard!)

In 2013, Vikernes released the first edition of his attempt at an old-school [[fantasy]] role-playing game, ''Myfarog: Mythic Fantasy Role-playing Game'', based on pre-medieval pre-[[Christian]] European [[myth]]s and history, allowing you the opportunity to "play a game in accordance with your own European nature". A second edition of the game was released some time later. Whether the actual game design is successful or not is up for debate, but he has been accused of writing some of the lore based on his racist ideologies.<ref>{{a|1=http://www.metalsucks.net/2015/08/21/advanced-discrimination-dragons-critical-look-varg-vikernes-myfarog-rpg/}}</ref> Varg himself has attempted to defend himself from these accusations.<ref group=note>At least it's better than [[Racial Holy War|the other RPG made by a neo-Nazi]].</ref><ref>{{a|1=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQKHoQQ2M5o}}</ref>

In June 2019, Vikernes' YouTube channel (Thulean Perspective) was permanently banned as part of YouTube's new content policy on [[hate speech]].<ref>[https://loudwire.com/varg-vikernes-video-channel-banned-youtube-policy/ Varg Vikernes' video channel banned as part of new YouTube policy] ''Loudwire''. June 5, 2019.</ref> He hasn't managed to get himself banned yet from [[Quora]], though.

==Burzum==
Vikernes is the solo member of the band '''{{wpl|Burzum||''',}} one of the most influential bands of the early [[Norway|Norwegian]] black metal scene. Vikernes later gained more mainstream "fame" by burning a bunch of [[medieval]] wooden churches<ref>{{a|1=http://www.angelfire.com/de3/dragonsofthenorth/Arson.html|2=Church Arson by Black Metal Figures}}</ref><ref>{{a|1=http://www.burzum.com/burzum/library/articles/kerrang/|2=We Are But Slaves of the One With Horns}}</ref> and murdering fellow black metal musician and collaborator {{wpl|Øystein Aarseth}} (a.k.a. "Euronymous") of the band {{wpl|Mayhem (band)|Mayhem|.}}<ref>{{a|1=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ah8sEG9YGo|2=Varg Vikernes talks about killing Euronymous}}</ref><ref>{{a|1=http://murderpedia.org/male.V/v/vikernes-varg.htm|2=Murderpedia entry}}</ref> Vikernes spent 15 years in [[prison]] and was released in 2009. These "extra-curricular activities", along with his generally odious personal views, have made Vikernes a highly controversial figure in the metal community. One could restate [[Godwin's law]] as "''As an online discussion on black metal grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Burzum or Varg approaches one''". Nonetheless, Vikernes' music is largely apolitical and does ''not'' contain [[Neo-Nazi]] [[Heavy Metal#Racism and nationalism in metal|lyrics or imagery]], unlike {{wpl|National Socialist black metal}} artists. Many metalheads praise Vikernes for his musical ability while disliking or ridiculing his personal ideology. <ref>https://youtu.be/ORey8ZYyaQU?t=212</ref>

==Crankery==
Vikernes has expressed some pretty erroneous views regarding [[evolution]], aside from his usual racialist spew. Most notably, his claim that [[Bullshit|white Europeans are descended from Neanderthals]] and are therefore (somehow) biologically more intelligent.<ref>{{a|1=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1W0jvJKga8E|2="The Neanderthal Theory"}}</ref> In a video on his now-banned<ref group=note>Darn ''Jews'' at it again on ''JewTube'' of course!</ref> "ThuleanPerspective" YouTube channel, Varg has apparently decided that depictions of what actual [[Neanderthals]] might have actually looked like were "[[Delusion|painted by priests in the 19<sup>th</sup> century who were bent on showing the European culture as primitive and subhuman]]". He then goes on to show pictures of Vikings and ancient Norsemen, and assures us that [[Fractal wrongness|these are what Neanderthals actually were]]. 

Vikernes is also an [[Anti-vaccination movement|anti-vaxxer]], not just because of the mercury myth, but also because "[vaccines] make [[Evil Jew|morally bankrupt Jews]] in the medical industry (even more) filthy rich and powerful". Along with politics, Vikernes appears to view most aspects of modern European culture through his belief in an [[international Jewish conspiracy]], and takes [[The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion]] as an authentic document, not realizing it's been exposed as a hoax decades ago.<ref name="metalkings">{{a|1=http://metalkings.com/reviews/Burzum-Varg-Vikernes/Burzum-Varg-Vikernes-eng-2011.htm|2=Metalkinds interview}}</ref><ref>{{a|1=http://www.burzum.org/eng/library/war_in_europe06.shtml}}</ref> As one would naturally expect at this point, Vikernes doesn't "trust the official story" when it comes to the [[Holocaust]], stopping just a hair's breadth from full-blown [[holocaust denial]].<ref>{{a|1=http://www.metalist.co.il/InterviewPrivate.asp?id=442&lang=eng}}</ref>

==2013 arrest==
Vikernes is something of a prepper, stating that you should immediately "stockpile fuel, guns, ammo, canned food et cetera, and withdraw all your [[money]] from the bank."<ref name="metalkings"/> He now lives in the picturesque center of [[France]], probably because these low-density rural areas make it easy to acquire a big farm with some land and accumulate said resources. In July 2013, the French police raided his farm after his wife legally bought 4 hunting carbines. Minister Manuel Valls claimed the intelligence services were worried he might go on a [[Terrorism|terrorist]] murder spree since Vikernes was one of the 530 persons who received [[Anders Breivik]]'s manifesto. He doesn't like Breivik much, though, calling him  a "Christian loser", [[Freemason]] ("international Jewry at it's worst"), and a [[useful idiot]] for — you should be able to know by now — ''The Jews'' to "punish the Palestine-loving Marxist-governed Norway" in a [[false flag]] attack.<ref>[https://www.burzum.org/eng/library/war_in_europe01.shtml War in Europe: Part I - Cui bono?]</ref> The only charge that could be held against him in the end was "incitement of racial hate" which got him 6 months of probation and a minor fine.<ref name="Valls justifie l'arrestation préventive du Norvégien Vikernes">{{a|1=http://http://www.lemonde.fr/societe/article/2013/07/16/un-norvegien-neonazi-interpelle-en-correze_3448207_3224.html}}</ref>

==Some quotations==
{{Aquote|Some Europeans are a bit "polluted genetically", so to speak, and have brown eyes for instance, that is something that can be solved by a few generations of [[Eugenics|race hygiene]].|||Brown eyes are eeeeevilll1!11!!<ref>{{a|1=http://www.burzum.org/eng/library/paganism01.shtml}}</ref>}}

{{Aquote|[[No True Scotsman|You cannot]] be [[Pagan]] and [[homosexual]] or even tolerate homosexuality. […] there are other rules in the Pagan philosophy for women, though.|||Because, you know, gays are evil but lesbians are hot!<ref>{{a|1=http://www.burzum.org/eng/library/paganism01.shtml}}</ref>}}

{{Aquote|The horribly poor sanitary culture that came to Europe with Christianity is however not the only filth this Asian regurgitation brought to us. The mental hygiene and race hygiene practiced by the ancient Europeans also was disrupted by the introduction of Christianity.|||Dude… wtf?<ref>{{a|1=http://www.burzum.org/eng/library/paganism06.shtml}}</ref>}}

{{Aquote|What Mr. Breivik has said is largely true, in all except in what he doesn't say; he doesn't tell us that the Jews are the origin to all these problems, and that they were created by the Jews to hurt us. All we have to do to make this act of violence favourable to us is to make this clear to everyone; the Jews created Marxism, feminism, Christianity (need I tell you that Jesus and not least Paulus/Saul were both Jews?), so-called psychology, banking ("money lending"), the hippie-movement and all other ideologies and movements which are aimed to destroy and de-construct all nations in Europe. Behind each and every one of them you will find a Jew (or some times a Freemason)! 

How could you miss that out, Mr. Breivik?|||Mr. Breivik is bad because he's not batshit insane enough.<ref>https://www.burzum.org/eng/library/war_in_europe01.shtml</ref>}}
