    Problem is even though us MLs know what this LaRouchite-adjacent shit is all about the liberals and western leftists will 100% believe this is what “tankies” are like

      Very true. They, liberals and western leftists, don’t even properly understand the meaning of 90% of the words they use amongst themselves. This is why I don’t bother engaging them on any sort of political level because it would require sitting them down for 10 years to properly educate them first. Take for instance the term “liberal”. They seem to think that this word simply means you ride a bike and believe LGBT people deserve rights, instead of referring to privatization and social atomization. At that level, both of the mainstream political parties in the US are liberal, they just differ in the areas of certain social issues. It is entirely possible to be a socially-progressive anti-liberal, but to an American’s ears if they hear me say I’m not liberal, they will immediately assume I like Tucker Carlson and the Koch brothers.

    This is literally fascists fighting fascists in real time. lol Jesus fucking all Christ. Tolkien literally wrote eugenics and shit into his fucking books.You all remember when Gandalf talks about “now lesser men sit upon the throne” when he talks about the Stewart controlling Gondor instead of Aragorn? Well guess fucking what, he wasn’t talking about the Stewart being of weaker will or morals or anything like that, he was literally saying that as in the Stewart was genetically inferior to Aragorn because of the Numenor bloodline. As in Aragorn was destined to rule solely based on his genetics and the Stewart wad always going to fuck things up be ause he was just a regular shitty human. This is also how the orce were viewed. Twisted and corrupted at a genetic level to be disgusting murder hobos to be slaughtered in droves without any sympathy because no matter what, orcs were destined to be evil at a genetic level.

    I mean, I get it, both sides of this argument are just cringe AF, lib brained idiots… But god damn I’m tired of ppl using Tolkiens shit almost as much as the fucking Harry Potter shit.

    Drunken rant over. Have a nice day. Also I still enjoy those movies. I just know that the background details are also kind of fucked up. Lol
