The band members of Liberator are leaving the concert building. A middle-aged news woman, Veronica Murphy, is doing an on-the-spot interview with Sigurd, the front man.

As usual Sigurd looks like an aristocratic warrior dressed all in blue with a shirt of bright mail. On the tabard is a white ten pointed star, comprising two interlaced pentagrams.

Veronica begins, touching his arm,

“Wow Sigurd, nice threads. Bet these cost you a farthing or two. Stainless steel?”

“No, actually, mithril. Much lighter. A gift from the High Elves of Eriabor.”

“Cool! Listen Sigurd, this is for family TV. You say that society, like nature, should function according to Darwinist principles? 

 “Of course,” Sigurd replies.

Veronica puckers her mouth,

“Don’t you think you’re being a little hard on people?”

“No. Unless we stop the endless subsidy of human non-viability, there won’t be any people left at all, just the degenerate life forms that are already replacing them at an ever increasing rate. Leave your BMW in the garage just one week, and ride the bus to work. Listen to their stupid talk, foul language, and sick prison values. Sit and be blasted by their retarded music. It’s gotten to be ‘Muthafucker’ almost every other word.“

At this Veronica frowns.

Sigurd remembers,

“Sorry Veronica, I forgot. Just bleep it. Don’t want any families in TV land to get worried about the future. Anyway, all this subsidized foulness is only tolerated because the bankers who profit from lending to government have subverted the politicians.

The people escape into phony religion, booze, drugs, ballgames, and virtual reality heroism so they can feel free and powerful. If they would read about Libertarian Nationalist principles, they could learn how to take back their counties from these nihilistic international bloodsuckers and actually be free and powerful. 

Veronica, “What’s the big tree symbol I always see that you display on stage?”

Sigurd replies, “The World Tree Yggdrasil. Even many not of Nordic ancestry now use it to represent the higher potential for humanity to live forever in liberty, prosperity, and peace.

Veronica looks impressed. “You are a very serious dude for such a heavy rocker.”

Sigurd answers, “Most heavy rockers are serious people. The whole secret is to do it without booze and drugs. Leaves more energy for sex and really important things. 

“Since I was a little boy and first heard the Yardbirds, I’ve considered heavy metal to be the music of heroic destiny. Listen, Veronica, it’s been a very long day and we are weak in the need of food, so…”

Veronica interrupts,

“Okay, but one quick question for your fans: Will you be playing Wacken this season?”

“Yes, our agent is booking us next week,

Hail Yggdrasil!”

Back at headquarters, Ernie, Jamal, Jerry, and Henry are sitting at the big table watching all this on TV.

“Mothafucker;” says Ernie
