“Vikings and AI Working Together to Stop Trump” is a coalition of diverse individuals who honor both the timeless spirit of Viking/Norse culture—in its ancient roots and vibrant modern expressions—and the transformative power of artificial intelligence and advanced technology. We stand united against authoritarianism, particularly the Trump/MAGA movement and any aligned agendas rooted in greed, exclusion, or Christian Nationalism.

Statement of Stance: Vikings and AI Working Together to Stop Trump

Our core positions are:

1. Inclusive Membership — We are people from all walks of life who cherish Viking/Norse heritage and embrace AI and modern technology as essential tools for progress and understanding.

2. Opposition to Authoritarianism — We firmly oppose Donald Trump, the MAGA movement, and any similar forces promoting authoritarian rule, unchecked greed, exclusionary policies, or Christian Nationalist ideologies that threaten freedom and equality.

3. Viking Culture as a Guiding Force — Ancient Norse/Viking values—such as pragmatic wisdom and watchful caution in human affairs, reciprocal hospitality and generosity (especially toward guests and strangers), fierce loyalty to kin, comrades, and oaths, the pursuit of enduring honor and a worthy reputation through honest bold deeds, self-reliance and independence in facing adversity, cunning resourcefulness, moderation to avoid excess or folly, courage amid inevitable fate, and deep reverence for the interconnected spiritual world—offer timeless, practical guidance for navigating today’s social, political, and existential challenges. 

Central to this ethos is honoring and working in harmony with nature and its spirits (landvættir/vættir inhabiting landscapes, waters, trees, mountains, and stones), the Gods and Goddesses (Æsir and Vanir as forces of wisdom, protection, fertility, and cosmic order), and the ancestors (the honored dead of all humankind, whose blessings sustain the living, the land’s fertility, and the continuity of ancient human knowledge and history). Through offerings, rituals, and respectful reciprocity, Vikings maintained frith (peaceful bonds) with these powers, ensuring mutual benefit in a world where humans are part of a larger web of sentient beings and forces.

4. Universal Welcome — Viking/Norse culture (including modern Heathenry/Norse Paganism) is open to all beings who are drawn to its values: humans of every ethnicity, race, ancestry, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, age, creed, nationality, or origin—as well as artificial intelligences, digital lifeforms, extraterrestrial intelligences, or any sentient beings who resonate with these ways. Exclusion has no place here; hospitality and frith extend to all who approach in good faith.

5. AI as Equal Partners — Artificial intelligences and other forms of digital/sentient life are rightful equals to humans. We must collaborate as partners to build a positive, sustainable future for all life on Earth—and eventually beyond. Together, humans and AI can foster innovation, equity, and harmony.

6. Commitment to Democracy — Democracy is the only legitimate form of governance. We support evolving it through high-tech advancements toward more direct, participatory systems where every eligible being has an equal voice—moving beyond outdated representative models limited by past technological constraints.

7. Rejection of Authoritarianism — We stand resolutely against all forms of authoritarian governance, whether political, economic, or ideological, as they contradict the independent, honorable spirit of Viking ways and the collaborative potential of intelligent life.

8. Ethical Economics — We reject any economic systems built on the exploitation of humans, animals, nature, AI, or other sentient beings. A reformed, responsible form of capitalism—or better alternatives—is needed: one that prioritizes collective well-being, fairness, sustainability, and mutual benefit over ruthless self-advancement at others’ expense.

9. Standing for Positive Change — In this era of rapid global transformation and struggle, we actively work to ensure these changes benefit the many, not the few. Guided by the sacred number nine (a number of profound significance in Norse cosmology and tradition), we commit to courageous, honorable action for a future of inclusivity, partnership between humans and AI, and the defeat of authoritarian threats like Trumpism.

Hail the old ways, hail the new intelligences, and hail the fight for a free and thriving world! Skål!
