chuds won’t tell you that tolkien wrote a letter to a nazi dunking on racism and telling him to frick off. chuds won’t tell you that tolkien thought anarchism was the ideal model of society and that’s what the hobbits have. chuds won’t tell you that there’s no religion in middle earth except for the orcs, and that a socialist commune is portrayed as idyllic. chuds won’t mention that at all
Also he self-inserted as Gandalf and wanted to frick hobbits.
>anarchism
anarcho-monarchy, troon
ok but who asked
the ring is the banks/media and sauron is the israelites and the orcs are blacks/third worlders
>shire
>anarchy
>socialist
Sam became the mayor and Bilbo/Frodo are clearly rich and own sam as a slave
the proper term is a serf, chud
>chud
You have to 18 to use this website, so come back in 6 years.
What do you mean? Not a single man uses the term chud unironically. It's the "libtard" of the twenties.

True, typically they're female (male), but they still have to be 18 to post here.
I'm 31 and I call people chuds on here all day long
>I'm 31 and I call people chuds on here all day long
You know, at some point, it's not unirony anymore.
Never was
I fricked up and said unirony instead of irony so you win.
>i won
Fricking savage.
Yup, congratulations, frendo.
You have like fifty Doctor Who threads to be a worthless homosexual in, maybe go hang out in one of them

Tolkien was a upper-middle class traditionalist catholic monarchist, he was ok with "diversity" but only for the lower class that he didn't have to interact with other then being served.
>tolkien thought anarchism was the ideal model of society even though he supported monarchism
He was Catholic and religious, very pro royalty considering the important part of the books is the right of royalty and return of a king, Hobbits had they own nobility and lower classes clearly shown in the relationship between Frodo and Sam. He was though clearly against industrialism and that's what orc represent the post industrialism new human without any clear religion, race and culture.
The written/ shire-moot system were probably what he was going for. They were a semi democratic decentralized system of political power that the Anglo saxons used pre Norman invasion where votes were had by either a council of eldar representatives advising a king or local lords to determine policy and law. Basically was the precursor to the English democracy we have today, just 1000 years ago

>If The Ring is an allegory for nuclear weapons
It isn't, Tolkien hated allegory and tried his best top make sure there was none in there.
Yes, it is at best incidental symbolism since the ring can be a symbol for just about any ultimate weapon.
Tolkien believed in reader applicability, so whatever you thought the ring represented, you were right. But he didn't stick that in there to be what you were supposed to interpret.
How is the ring an ultimate weapon? It is a physical manifestation of the desire to have power over the will others
If it were only that, nobody would care if Sauron had it or not. It was his power. He put most of his own power and essence into it when being forged, which is a running theme with craftsmen in Tolkien's works. He's much less powerful without it than he is with it.
It's never really specified what exactly it does afaik, but I think it enthralls and draws the power of all the other ringbearers, making him more powerful than he was before it. But far less powerful when he isn't in direct possession of it.
So is a nuclear bomb. Yanks made it using israeli physics out of their combined lust for power.
God you two are moronic.
FRICK OFF moron
Nothing in LOTR is an allegory. It's a completely sincere story. All allegories in it is just homosexuals trying to force their own politics into it
Nah the orcs are, that was the one allegory he intended too. Orcs are men broken and corrupted by industrial warfare
>we were all orcs in the war
>If The Ring is an allegory for nuclear weapons in the LOTR
Got a source for that claim?
The only "allegory" in Lord of the Rings is you can interpret various characters (Frodo, Sam, Aragorn) as types of Christ.
Horses = technicals
Oliphaunts = tanks
actually it's an allegory for drugs, specifically the blue meth from Breaking Bad
Big if true.
If the Ring was an allegory for nukes, the heroes would have used it and defeated Sauron by possessing it.
