In Norse mythology, Vidar is the silent, steadfast god of vengeance and justice. He is uniquely famous for one ultimate feat: when the monstrous wolf Fenrir swallows Odin whole, Vidar steps in as the ultimate intermediary, places his foot on the beast's lower jaw, and slays the monster by tearing its jaws apart. He is the ultimate giant-killer who survives the apocalypse to build a new world.
Fenrir is no longer with us, but his modern descendants are very much alive, plentiful, and far more powerful. Sheep's clothing may blind us to what they are, but cannot conceal their viciousness or monstrosities - we know them today as American oligarchs.
And while you might not have known of Fenrir, you've certainly heard of the insatiable predator voraciously devouring writers, their work, their rights, and their readers - Amazon.
