>LOTR >whole book tells you authority is evil, the government is evil, wealth is evil, etc >look at Tolkein’s history >he was a SECOND FUCKING LIEUTENANT Why should I trust what is essentially a military bureaucrat about anything related to politics and ESPECIALLY war? This seems to happen a lot, military officers turning out to be traitors and commies and shit. Guess it’s nice to know the Officer Corps has always been subversive and gay.
>>522063908this is exceptionally retarded logic, congrats
Second lieutenant is DOGSHIT
>>522063998Literally no one trusts military officers, why should we make exceptions? This guy comes across as kike prime, telling us to disregard all authority and live peacefully, when he himself was in a position of authority and led people into battle.
>>522063908>>LOTR >>whole book tells you authority is evil, the government is evil, wealth is evil, etcit says no such thing and quite the opposite. the new king and his government is celebrated, for example.
>>522063908Cool Pic. Hope there wasn't some baby dolphin porn embedded in it somehow because yoink. I hate this place will someone please help me escape!
>>522064232Yeah and it’s an anarcho monarchist shithole government that would make Curtis Yarvin blush and your average KOTH fan go “well wait a minute I didn’t call for all of THAT to be abolished…”It’d even make an ancap cherry red. The guy even said people who believe in the idea of government should be locked up and killed. If I knew where Tolkein’s grave was I would piss on it and conduct satanic rituals on it to corrupt his dead body.
>>522063908>>whole book tells you authority is evil, the government is evil, wealth is evil, etcwhat the fuck, no it doesn'tall the heroes are fucking noblemen
>>522064135I can smell this post.

All I know is Tolkien ripped off his storyline from Wagner.
>>522063908Second Lieutenant was the grade ANY and EVERY college graduate automatically got when drafted in his day. He was, by education and profession, an English teacher
>>522064794>The evidence is overwhelming that Tolkien directly lifted core narrative structures from Wagner's Ring Cycle, despite his later denials. The most undeniable parallel is the central magical object itself. Wagner's Alberich forges a ring from Rhinegold and possesses the Tarnhelm, a helmet of invisibility, which he keeps in his subterranean realm. Tolkien splits this archetype: his One Ring, found in a cave by Gollum, consolidates the power of dominion with the specific, primary power of invisibility. This is not a vague mythological trope; it is a direct conceptual merger of Wagner's two distinct artifacts into one.>Furthermore, the critical plot point of the ring being lost in a river is a Wagnerian invention. In the original Norse Volsunga Saga, the ring is passed from hand to hand, never lost in a waterway. Wagner made the River Rhine the ring's origin and final resting place. Tolkien mirrors this exactly by having Isildur lose the One Ring in the River Anduin, where it lies for millennia. This is a definitive structural lift, especially potent given that Britain lacks a single, mythic river of such narrative weight compared to Germany's Rhine.>Finally, Tolkien's own stated ambition confirms the influence. He explicitly wanted to create a mythology for England, to provide the British with a foundational epic just as the Nibelungenlied and Wagner's Ring did for the Germans. He wasn't just drawing from the same ancient wells; he was consciously replicating Wagner's national mythopoeic project, using the same core components the world-ruling ring from the river, the invisible artifact, the cave-dwelling owner to build his own English epic. The structural blueprint is Wagner's.
Buncha absolute fuckin gigaplebs itt jfc>>522063908Embarrassing interpretation.>>522064794He borrowed exactly one plot device. I won’t tell you which one, because investing 15 hours into watching The Ring Cycle is a worthwhile endeavor and you should experience it yourself instead of blindly repeating bullshit you read on the internet.
>>522063998It's not logic. He basically synthesized the opinion he desired to have from thin airThis is because he is not white and hates whites so made a thread about it
>>522063908Literally the lowest ranking possible for an officer. If you’re a 2LT you’re one of the boys
>>522064232>>522064543The One Ring is an allegory for centralised power.
OP is some enlisted retard with a very high opinion of himself lolWhy are you all the exact same useless stupid loudmouth lmao
>>522063908This just reads as brainless grunt cope
>>522066205even if thats true then its only say that certain kinds of government are bad.
Goblin jew is shitting on the greatest man ever alive. Go back to the abyss! Sauron = jewsNazguls = shabbos goysOrcs and goblins = worshipers of jewsAll seeing eye on the dolor? It is Sauron.
>>522064794And Wagner stole it all from the Grimm Brothers
>>522063908why would you trust a career person?
>>522066205The ring is a token thats supposed to elicit the self deception that given power, 'I will be different'. The ring has tons of memetic potential, but the point of it is to show the universal nature of self deception when confronted with power.Power destroys the person who tries to wield it. Its a realisitic understanding of power, in a similiar vien as machavielian theory, but with a protestant self flagellation that you'd expect from a English teacher. What makes him better then modern day teachers who tend to be utopian idealists, is that Tolkien actually understood that power as a real unrelenting force in the world. Also, lots of people shit on JRR Martin, but they both highlighted mixed bag characters. Although, Tolkien didn't shy away from purer arche types.
>>522063908If the Bible was lost jews would larp as numenorians.
>>522066205And the victor is?>decentralised power uniting against a common enemyThat means authority, gouvernment can be good.It just means that total centralisation is bad.Being a 2nd Lieutenant in the British of all fucking Armies, he would've experienced far too much of the slavish behaviour expected from soldiers like the dirty little nigger rats they are.He will have recognised that in WW1, the officer class was an aristocratic class that generally didn't merit its position for how it treated the men who went out to die in the disgraceful machine-gunned charges the aristocrats were sure would work.His problem there wasn't necessarily that they were retarded, it's that they were defending their retardation with noble title and bloodlines. Just. Like. Denethor. And then that cunt died like a fucking retard.Meanwhile Theoden is at his most evil when the people of Rohan are cattle, thanks to Grima, and when that malefic sorcery is lifted and Theoden recovers, every Rohan soldier is treated as a glorious hero who grants the King the respect the King earns with his own actions.It's this malevolence and corruption which worries Aragorn and dissuaded him for the longest time to claim his birthright, until he learned through experience and guidance that it's his worry for that outcome which makes him the best suited man for the Kingdom of Gondor.Think of the Orc and Uruk generals as the British aristocratic officers. They talk in exactly the same fashion.
>>522065167>"the evidence is overwhelming">mixes the invisibility with the central power, unlike Wagner>has the ring lost and found in a river though it it forged and ultimately lost in a volcano, the exact opposite of Wagner and not a structural lift from Wagner (ignoring that Britain and Germany both don't have a volcano)>"He wanted to create a mythology for England, therefore he copied German mythology" - le non sequitur LMAO
>>522066205you mean like the centralised power of the Ainu ?learn to read please
>>522065167Tolkien was a German implant. He wouldve never been able to create anything "English".
>>522068515Tolkien’s ancestors left people for the German Teutonics
>>522063908>>whole book tells you authority is evil, the government is evil, wealth is evil, etcyou just described the New Testament
>>522067264>I forgot he was catholicI'm embarrassed to be a part of a community that wouldn't immediately identify I'm a idiot.
>>522064431>all the heroes are fucking noblemenjust like harry potter and anakin skywalker, they have more midichlorians therefore they have the right to rule. every liberal believes this. good to see tolkien exposed as a liberal. unknown how many sff authors in the 20th century were considered unpublishable by kikes, but hp lovecraft, greatest 20th century english language fiction author (for 21c its kurt schlichter) somehow avoided having his new prints enrich some publishing kike
What was Aragorn's tax policy?
>>522063908>whole book tells you authority is evil, the government is evil, wealth is evil, etcIt doesn't say that at all. It's doesn't even imply it. You niggers are fucking retarded.
>>522064420>anarcho monarchistwhat the fuck am I reading?
>>522068515Are you pretending to be retarded?
>>522069008IDK but he reinstated Prima Nocta and all the women were cool with it.
Mordor is Israel. Connect the dots.Only orcs dare to speak against profesor Tolkien!
>>522063908>whole book tells you authority is evil, the government is evil, wealth is evil, etc>Return of The King
>>522063908>anti authorityNigger Aaragorn is a king.Its anti cosolidation of all power into a single hand.Lotr has no problems with hierarchy, it has a problem with one guy subverting every nation and using them as their pawns.Basically Kings perfectly fineSaurons One world jewish government is bad.
>>522063908LOTR says no such thing you idiot it makes a strong case for the divine rights of kings
>>522069558>Nigger Aaragorn is a king.Punctuation matters, Bongo.
>>522069702>nigger Aragorn is king
>>522069702he's just referring to the Amazon series
>>522069702Remember when (((they))) turned Aaragorn into a kang?
Oh no, american has opinion xDDDOP what you think of Dune?
>>522068915he chose papism for aesthetic reasons because he liked the glory of the world then chanted in latin against the pope and his priests. he was as catholic as nick fuentes
>>522064794Every bit of art is in some way ripping something else off. As the old phrase goes OC is only OC for a couple of seconds and then it becomes pasta
>>522071094>>522064794
The British officer corps functions much differently to the American one.Where American officers will often spend their entire careers far removed from danger. British officers have a higher mortality rate than the enlisted in wartime because they're expected to lead from the front.
>>522063908You scoff at the "media literacy" memes then post shit like this
>>522063908Why would you consider looking up to a fiction writer for political opinions? How does your brain even end up there?Just read the fucking book. It's not meant to be taken as a political manifesto. He literally wrote it for his ~12 year old son.
>>522071570>evil cannot create anything newPosting that image kind of goes against the sentiment though, why didnt you create something new
