They came to the americas and somehow magically managed to not genocide all the people. Clearly superior to the other europeans or simply not yet infected by the capitalist mind virus.

They had a chattel slave economy and practiced human sacrifice. They didn't genocide the Skraelings because the Skraelings got them first.... Probably because they were being Viking dicks.

I don't really care to find the study but we actually do know the Viking invasion of Scotland resulted in a genocide of the Picts that were living in the Hebrides.

There's argument about whether the Vikings are entirely responsible for the destruction of larger Pictish culture but the proof is pretty undeniable that it happened in the Hebrides.

Tl;Dr Kill Vikings on sight, little tip if you ever figure out time travel

They might be chill if they're not actively viking though.
