>Wants to industrialize the middle earth. >He's the bad guy because.....frick progress?
The trees are literally alive, chud
The industrial revolution has been a disaster for all mankind.
was industrialization really progress?
it's progress in the same sense it's progress for a fat man to eat unhealthy and bring himself closer to death
tolkien saw industrialization firsthand, he knew what he was writing about
tolkien was some mentally stunted manchild who knew nothing of war or progress
>Knew nothing of war
He was in the fricking Western Front in WWI. You don't get a sharper experience of war than that.
he did not fight in WW1, he probably had an office job
He started writing between battles in the Somme
okay maybe he did go to war, but it was a very small scale one.
>small scale one
>the fricking Somme
I have no idea what a somme is, but this is before tanks or machineguns. This is before any real war.
Trolling or zoomer?
wasn't WW1 like...fighting with muskets and swords? they didn't have much gunpower back then
No
WW1 was called the War to End All Wars because of all the wonderful killing machines and chemicals they had access to. There's European countryside that's still recovering from all the toxins left in the environment back then.
>Ww1
>Before tanks
>Before machineguns
Idiocracy was right...
Seriously impressive bait
This is impressive trolling.
It is an obvious case of a zoomer being stupid then escalating to trolling when being called out.
Lol, lmao even.
Tolkien like all the other nepo babies were kilometers away from the actual trenches were people were dying in record numbers.
Only one friend of Tolkien survived the war
Unlike you who was in the trenches, right?
He literally fought in the Battle of the Somme you fricking idiot
He was literally in the trenches of ww1
I'm gonna build six factories on top of your house and see if you still like living there.
>Sorry Hobbits, you can't live a comfy life in a Hobbit home having parties all the time because ... it's not economically viable in today's industrial society
>it's a Saruman clears all the hobbits from the Shire so he can have great herds of sheep driven in from the Barrow downs and Emyn Uial-episode
Greetings my trustworthy friend, Sauron's Man
Yeah
fpbp
also you need trees to live but you don't need factories to live
>also you need trees to live
Not anymore. Scientists are developing artificial trees that are more efficient than real ones.
In the not so distant future, we could hope to get rid of nature and replace it with an artificial nature that will take up less than 1% of its current territory.
Imagine, no more bugs, no more animals, we get rid of everything but cattle and pets. All trees being gone means we can expand cities indefinitely until all the cities in our countries merge into one giant megacity.
We need to start killing scientists.
Yes. No elaboration required.
Like many people whose names end in -man, he wants to destroy the native white societies and replace them with evil, subhuman savages so he can make more shekels.
Read “The Last Ringbearer” an alternate account of LOTR written by a Russia where Sauron is portrayed as the good guy, champion of progress and industrialisation while the Free People are portrayed as reactionary cretins halting progress
>~~*Russian*~~
Yes.
It's just a little polyvinyl chloride just take these anti cancer pills nbd
>Made Black folk
>"He's not bad, he's just misunderstood"
>'we were all orcs in the War'
i like the scene of the two mordor orcs complaining about working for nazgul, wishing they could go somewhere else and basically saying 'it is what it is'. hammers that home in a nice way, especially the way they talk
I really hate the modern left academics that attack LoTR for being reactionary anti-progressive and anarchist
The man saw the literal inevitable result of "progres" first hand as his best friends were fed in the machine and turned into hamburg.
The settings Satan is a autistic, obsessed with power for the manifestation of will over the material in the name of efficiencies sake and all his minions are demagogues with the power of words for obvious lived experiences.
>The man saw the literal inevitable result of "progres" first hand as his best friends were fed in the machine and turned into hamburg.
It was only bad because he was on the wrong side. The people who killed others with the machines didn't thinkg the machines were bad.
His orcs are his experience of being turned into a brutal, hopeless and cruel killing machine, its the one allegory he did use and admitted despite finding it a weak literary technique.
To be fair, underindustrialized nations will be at the mercy of us factory Gigachads.
das rite
>tears down the Shire to build smoke-bellowing factories
>enslaves the hobbit men to be his servants
>forces the hobbit women into prostitution and his personal cumdumps
>somehow he's the bad guy
>forces the hobbit women into prostitution and his personal cumdumps
He didn't force them. Hobbit women LOVE wizard wiener.
He made Worm Tongue eat the Sackville hobbit mayor.
And I would extend that the ring wraiths are what happened to the noble leaders of communities once enslaved by progress, they become detached shadows spreading nothing but fear and misery and slaves to the master of eternal "progress" pulling their strings.
trees are oxygen factories
Modern nuclear power plants produce more clean air than all the vegetation in a city, yet you don't see us replacing all trees with nuclear reactors
