Krash Patel: 'I'll see you in Valhalla'

OK we're going straight up Odinist now cool

Jonathan M. Katz (@katz.theracket.news) 2025-09-12T14:57:48.225Z


Kash Patel: "To my friend Charlie Kirk. Rest now, brother. We have the watch. And I'll see you at Valhalla"

End snip

First, Valhalla is only for warriors who die in battle, IIRC.

Second, Valhalla warriors fight every day and are reborn every night to fight the next day. Sounds a little Groundhog's Dayish to me, but you do you.

Third, is MAGA down with you invoking old Norse religious memes? Will they give you the side eye?

I would have thought it was only for, you know, the master race but I guess if you are a fascist toady that makes it OK.



And I don't know what's worse--the nominal director of the FBI quoting a far-right cultural touchstone or the fact that the media doesn't call it out and treats it as business as usual. Together, of course, with idealizing a hatemonger.

... but still, this is nonsense, none of them are anything like the "warriors" they pretend to be.

In Buddhism, the Titan realm, or Asura realm, is inhabited by powerful beings who are often characterized by their fierce envy, pride, and a constant desire for superiority over others. They experience a more pleasurable life than humans but are plagued by anger and competition, leading to a tumultuous existence marked by conflict and dissatisfaction.
Tricycle


They go to war and slaughter one another each day only to wake up tomorrow and do it again.
Valhalla is also a dog whistle for neo-Nazis.

in which Valhalla burns to the ground, thanks to the greed of the occupants.



That said, the German reference is noted.

Kirk, Epstien, Patel and their scheiss-meister "Donald the flatulent" will soon meet again.
