There were two good social/political beliefs that Tolkien had, in a sea of terrible, racist, ones.

Christians should be able to have a few beers, and dance, and sing, smoke a little, now and then

AND

Environmentalism = Good

I'm the biggest Middle-Earth fan of all, but sad-to-say, homeboy had plenty of his own unquestioned biases against brown and black and gay people, and he based his legendarium in part on the historical conflict between Constantinople and the Caliphates, which is the A-#1-cause-celebre of fascism.

A diverse group of *white individuals
Wait, the right wing thinks that a story about a diverse group of individuals setting aside their differences and banding together to stop an evil wannabe dictator from achieving unlimited power is an allegory favorable to *their* cause?
How did The Lord of the Rings end up so beloved by the right wing?

It’s pretty simply that it’s a very white movie and can easily be interpreted as the valiant west standing against evil foreign hordes

(i get that this is more nuanced and that there are other more major themes espoused by main characters that they're ignoring/warping, but a whole lot of beturbaned faceless brown people get murked, it's not hard to see the appeal for them)

I'm sorry but why wouldn't right-wingers like a story about natural hierarchical power structures being restored and evil lesser races being put in their place?

Sure there's a bit about little guys succeeding where big heroes fail, but overall it's deeply conservative.

🤔 a story about a bunch of pale, male heroes have to embark in battle against hordes of slaves with working class accents to get back to when their idyllic country paradise was un-besmirched by outsiders?

What could possibly be attractive to imperialists about this worldview?

Probably because the books are inherently racist, militaristic and reactionary

Because they see themselves as "Men of the West," and that Easterlings and Southrons are basically stand-ins for Western Asia and North Africa, and that Orcs are 100% Black and Mongol. Lord of the Rings gives their racism an air of "correctness."

What you do not do is diversify your cast and say nothing while leaving your black and brown actors to be terrorized by alt-right groups until they finally flee a franchise in fear and/or disgust.

How do you stop them? Mainly by having your beloved white "alpha male" cast members repeatedly and gleefully curse racists out. www.youtube.com/watch?v=49Mg...

If you have an IP that is white, it is going to attract bigots. This doesn't mean that you have to diversify a cast that is homogenous for a specific creative reason, but you have to be aware that weirdos are going to try to hijack your ****.

I’m still furious at how JJ Abrams gave Kelly Marie Tran *76 seconds* of screen time in STAR WARS 9 after the racist backlash directed straight at her. Just obscene cowardice 😡

Yesterday.

European Union allows daily child murder by Apartheid Israel's genocidal regime and pretends it can do nothing.

EU is not weak, it just prefers to side with child murderers against their victims under von der Leyen's current European Commission (@ec.europa.eu).

I spent months gathering this. It takes me fucking forever to do anything. I am disabled. Every action takes a piece of my wellbeing. I did this knowing I would get nothing from it, for my fellow drivers. I assumed the state would at least be interested in fine revenue. Guess not!
I sent the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment evidence for over 100 violations, by Uber Eats, of Colorado Labor Law and they have rejected all my evidence.

This means there is no amount of evidence they will accept, and the Colorado transparency law passed for no reason.

Why the fuck am I in a union if we don't have bargaining power, we can't strike, and the laws we get passed aren't even enforced by the state?
