Check out The Last Ringbearer by Kirill Eskov. Since the movies, lotr has become part of the west’s cringy lore and you have to deal with that shit even if you try to stay away from it. This book is a nice antidote
Edit: he he, just realized old mate was talking about the article, not lotr
Hey, who can say what people like JRRT were up to. Trying to create some sense of history for the West to quell its barbarity, and providing fertile ground for new habits and traditions and ways of thinking to grow? Creating some NWO euro supremacy myth for people to larp to? Underpinning the West’s attempt to redo the history of the world in a form that fits its conceits and aspirations of world hegemony and its self image built on other people’s stolen history, or providing a platform for conscious self reflection so they can avoid just that?
I dunno.
Good? I don’t think so anyway. But effective, for sure. To what end? Well, so libs can eventually use it like this, for example. Sleeper agent, heh. What’s next, am I gonna hear about how 1984 is actually good, just misappropriated?

Libs using lotr for their libness is honestly sad. Unlike Harry Potter, Tolkiens works are good.
