it's interesting, the US's experiment in democracy has shown that ultimately, there is no set of rules or laws that will prevent corruption. No magic structure of government that will ensure that it functions properly, or that it represents the will of the people.
So, accepting this, it can be said that there is then no advantage to democracy over monarchy, but there are plenty of advantages to monarchy over democracy.
Wasn't it obvious? I remember the scene when Gandalf, after seeing the ruins of Isengard, looking directly into the camera and says "The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race, Pippin."
if your fantasy reflected reality, i would be mouth fricking you right now and you would be asking for more, hoping you would one day become a real boy too
If you have lived through it, you would think that it was the worst thing to ever happen to your country as well.
It might've made things marginally comfortable for you, but you can believe that it's circling back to a dystopian shithole.
if LOR reflected reality, it would be a bestiality session with homosexuals getting their melanin receptors activated. given lessons in humanity and husbadry so the can wear big boy pants. Theirs a reason eurpean kings of old had frizzy hair because they were marked by man
Lord of the Rings is really Lord of the BBC ring, excaliber given into the hands of lepers as they race towards the end of kali yua hoping to find the right answers before the age comes to a permanent close
Something I like to remind people of is that for Tolkien, the industrial revolution was not a steady supply of food and goods from across the world, instantaneous communication and information, or advanced medical care,
It was World War One.
Industry was machine guns turning thousands of young men to bloody paste in minutes. It was poisonous gas turning men's lungs to liquid, or leaving them blind and crippled for life. It was shelling so bad that people literally lost their minds.
The beauty of the airplane and the convenience of trains probably seemed a poor trade to a man who grew up during the close of the 19th century.
So I can't blame Tolkien for thinking of the ultimate in evil, and being unable to conjure anything worse than a being who wants to turn the whole world into the Somme.
I like this guy, we should have more diversity in the dumbass race essentialists posting. With tve asian guy, we just need a latino and indian guy to have the right mix of morons required to finally make the board completely unusable.

Material means will never serve spiritual ends
I just miss the days before cell phones
There is not a single mention of the word industrial revolution is the 10000 pages Tolkiem ever wrote schizo
But what if you didn't have second breakfast this morning?
>white good

As it should be.

the aragorn = muh chosen king was the worst part of the movies
grrm was right

The only reason it's become a dystopian shithole is because of israelites.
And how do you think israelites were able to get a hold on so much power?
So true
Esta pero unironically
>Kingdoms GOOD
>Empires BAD
Why did Feanor burn the ships?
but he burned the ships in order to strand some elves that were going to help him
They weren't going to help him. They were in his way, and he was already mad, so he he just torched their ships and bailed.
Because he was angry that the valinor jannies banned him for shitposting but wouldn't do anything about Morgoth.

That's a wig, dipshit

An enlightened monarchy might be the most based and effective form of government possible tbh
Correct. The problem is the enlightened part. All systems eventually turn into bad public leaders propped up by the crypto-oligarchs.
