Your instincts are correct.. Also notice how the leaders of the hordes or orcs etc are corrupted white men.. Look at it, Saruman, Sauron.. They used to be normal white guys, but they are now corrupted and focused on destroying all white men and replacing them with hordes of orcs etc.

There are entire books written about the philosophy and ideology behind Lord of the Rings. It's mostly trash about industrial societies being evil and how everyone should just chill out farming and drinking beer.

Tolkien really just loved fantasy worlds and is himself pretty much Frodo. Spent all his time pouring over maps and reading about adventures.

He did steal most of his shit from European folklore though.

Did she just say that Orcs are black people? I think she did.

I find it hilarious how skin-deep these 'anti-racists' are. Often they're racist as shit and that's what causes them to lurch so far in the opposite direction, to the point where they won't say the word 'black' in the presence of black people and shit like that.

Also, Tolkien wasn't particularly red pilled by /pol/ standards, he was opposed to totalitarianism, disliked racial politics etc

A major background feature of Lord of the Rings is Legolas and Gimili overcoming their race's deeply held animosity, and the southern Men who fight for Sauron are presented as victims rather than inherently twisted like the Orcs.

The thing is the that the Nazis loved Tolkien but he hated them
they once contacted him to ask if he had any Jewish blood before printing his books out
he was extremely bitter against the Germans over the 1st World War
He also had no ill feelings towards anyone outside of the Germans and once remarked that he wished he had Jewish blood in him just to spite them

>>79326408
Tolkien referred to the whole thing as a Catholic work, however I agree with you in the fact that Gandalf was not made to follow Jesus in any real way

the southern men are not black, there closer to Mediterranean than anything else

He leads them initially, but then he goes into the depths of the earth (sheol, hades) in order to save his followers from an evil supernatural being associated with fire. Then he returns more powerful and glorified. His followers do not immediately recognize him.

The whole reason the LotR movie adaptation was so great was because it DIDN'T cater to some 21st century sensibilities, but stayed mostly true to the story.

Dear Sirs,

Thank you for your letter. I regret that I am not clear as to what you intend byarisch. I am not ofAryanextraction: that is Indo-Iranian; as far as I am aware none of my ancestors spoke Hindustani, Persian, Gypsy, or any related dialects. But if I am to understand that you are enquiring whether I am ofJewishorigin, I can only reply that I regret that I appear to havenoancestors of that gifted people. My great-great-grandfather came to England in the eighteenth century from Germany: the main part of my descent is therefore purely English, and I am an English subject — which should be sufficient. I have been accustomed, nonetheless, to regard my German name with pride, and continued to do so throughout the period of the late regrettable war, in which I served in the English army. I cannot, however, forbear to comment that if impertinent and irrelevant inquiries of this sort are to become the rule in matters of literature, then the time is not far distant when a German name will no longer be a source of pride.

Your enquiry is doubtless made in order to comply with the laws of your own country, but that this should be held to apply to the subjects of another state would be improper, even if it had (as it has not) any bearing whatsoever on the merits of my work or its sustainability for publication, of which you appear to have satisfied yourselves without reference to myAbstammung.

I trust you will find this reply satisfactory, and

remain yours faithfully,

J. R. R. Tolkien

>>79330408
No, he was always a Maiar, effectively a lesser god. He was just the most powerful of them, kind of scraping godhood without ever reaching it. In fact it's somewhat implied that he was either close or equal to one of the lesser Valar with the ring.

None. The Istari are just a group of Maiars who are forbidden to reveal their power on middle earth. They must fight against darkness using limited means, as disposed by the Valar.

Maiar are lesser gods, technically the same beings as the Valar but not as powerful. Mithrandir is another name for Gandalf, who is a Maiar.

Elves - pale and smug in their supposed superiority. Never do shit unless it affects them. Obviously they are Scandinavians.

Dwarves - live in the mountains. concerned only with gathering material wealth and making fine machinery. The Swiss.

Numenorean - powerful men from a far away land. that come to rule the land of men. Then lost it by mixing races and fighting against the darkness. the last of them leads the final fight against evil. Ancient Aryans.

dragons - serve the great evil. attracted to gold. jews.

Tolkien was a devout catholic, he admitted that he wrote LotR as a catholic book. He was an expert on medieval texts, among those medieval texts were numerous medieval catholic prophecies about the end of the world

Aragorn = Great Monarch/Last Roman Emperor of catholic prophecy
Frodo and Sam = Two Witnesses, prophecied in Revelation 11
Shireland = England
Mordor = Israel
Sauron = jewish antichrist/satan
Eye of Sauron = referance to persecution of christians by the state through surveillance and espionage
Elves = good elves who converted to christianity
Orcs = elves corrupted by satanism/zionism/secularism/modernism
Men from the south = muslims (even wear turbans and scimitars)

The entire plot revolves around 'destroying the one ring that will bind them all'. The one ring is the heresy of the jewish antichrist. Frodo and Sam stand for the Two (christian) Witnesses that will travel to Jerusalem (Mordor), face the antichrist (Sauron) in battle, where they will die, their bodies lie in the streets, and God resurrects them in front of the entire world. This event will destroy 'the one ring', the heresy of the jewish antichrist, and covert the jews to christianity.

Even the earthquake that destroys Sauron's army in the end is taken from Revelation chapter 11. Right after the Two Witnesses are resurrected, Jerusalem is destroyed in an earthquake and alot of people die in it.

CS Lewis also does this in the Chronicles of Narnia

All of the main characters are English and they end up saving/ruling the whites in Narnia with an ally in Archenland, also white. The main enemies in the series are two evil witches and Calormenes, shitskins living south of Archenland beyond a massive desert.

In one book the shitskins try to invade but are sent packing and their king turned into a donkey by Aslan. Susan also gets denied into Narnia in the last book because she was a slut.

>Ruling is hard. This was maybe my answer to Tolkien, whom, as much as I admire him, I do quibble with. Lord of the Rings had a very medieval philosophy: that if the king was a good man, the land would prosper. We look at real history and it’s not that simple. Tolkien can say that Aragorn became king and reigned for a hundred years, and he was wise and good. But Tolkien doesn’t ask the question: What was Aragorn’s tax policy? Did he maintain a standing army? What did he do in times of flood and famine? And what about all these orcs? By the end of the war, Sauron is gone but all of the orcs aren’t gone – they’re in the mountains. Did Aragorn pursue a policy of systematic genocide and kill them? Even the little baby orcs, in their little orc cradles?

>The war that Tolkien wrote about was a war for the fate of civilization and the future of humanity, and that’s become the template. I’m not sure that it’s a good template, though. The Tolkien model led generations of fantasy writers to produce these endless series of dark lords and their evil minions who are all very ugly and wear black clothes. But the vast majority of wars throughout history are not like that.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3110466/Game-Thrones-creator-defends-rape-scenes-Author-says-dishonest-boring-leave-sexual-violence.html

>'But if you’re going to write about war, and you just want to include all the cool battles and heroes killing a lot of orcs and things like that and you don’t portray [sexual violence], then there’s something fundamentally dishonest about that.

Shire could be anything really, but the way it's depicted reminds more of 19th century Britain. Gondor is clearly Rome/Italy. Rohan, divided into Westfold and Eastfold with its marshalls, is a referance to the frankish kingdom, split into France and Germany.

Numerous medieval prophecies talk about how the jewish antichrist will raise an army and invade Italy and Rome, and that he will be thrown out by a christian army led by the great monarch.

He lived during the last century, did ww1 and was alive during WW2, a time where jews were supposed to control everything and still he wasn't antisemitic

But Tolkien was disturbed by the implications of an "Always Chaotic Evil" race. It conflicted with his Catholicism.

"As a devout Catholic who believed in spiritual salvation, the idea of a race of inherently or irredeemably evil creatures was one of Tolkien's major sticking points with his own work. He spent much of the latter part of his life as a writer trying to justify it. He never did come up with an explanation that satisfied him."

That's because Tolkien wasnt redpilled about nephilim/reptiloids. Human-demon hybrids that look like humans on the outside but dont have a human soul and are completely demonic on the inside. Sons of satan, sons of belial.

There is simply a group of people who are destined to burn in 'the lake of fire and brimstone'. No matter what they do, they are automatically condemned. Note that not everyone who gets flung into hellfire never had a chance. Some simply screwed up too much.

He dies on the peak of Zirakzigil, similar to how Jesus is crucified on Mount Calvary. Gandalf's death allows the fellowship to escape Moria, and the fury of the Balrog. Remember the Balrog was only awoken because Durin's folk had got greedy while expanding the Mithril Mines. And that the fellowship would not have had to set out in the first place, had Isildur cast the ring into the fires of Mt. Doom when he had the chance.

He was also sent to Middle Earth by the Valar, who are more or less the "gods" of Middle Earth.

So, sent by gods, to counsel the good in their fight against evil, is sent by gods again after he dies as his mission is yet unfulfilled, this time with more authority than he had before.

>Gandalf got a lot more shit done than Jesus.

He really didn't. His greatest show of power is fighting a Balrog. Lesser Beings have accomplished the same task, see Glorfindel (an elf-lord) in "The Fall of Gondolin"

Otherwise, Gandalf is merely a voice of reason and good. He rallies Eomer's rohirrim, but that would not have been necessary had Theoden been smart enough to spot the treachery of Grima and Sarumon. He organizes the defense of Minas Tirith, but had Denethor not blamed Faramir for Boromir's death, or had Denethor allowed Faramir to go to Rivendell in Boromir's place, either of them could have done the same thing.

Gandalf does not often perform great shows of power because that is not his duty, The Istari were sent to specifically aid and counsel, not to lend their strength in an attempt to match Sauron's. This is why Sarumon loses favor with the Valar, and Gandalf breaks his staff. Sarumon ignored that directive, and as such, began to scheme to use the one ring to defeat Sauron and install himself as lord of Middle Earth.

This mirrors Jesus in a way. Yes, Jesus performed miracles to help those who needed help, but he praised those who had faith, who did not need to see great feats of power to believe Jesus to be the messiah.

Not all jews are reptiloids. Sure seems like a disproportionate amount of them are, though. They are everywhere. Niggers in africa, nazis, you can even find them posing as christian priests or bishops. They are everywhere, simply everywhere. In some 'professions' like organized crime (especially drugs and human trafficking) they are overrepresented.

They are children of fornication though not every kid born out of wedlock is a reptiloid. Some arent even all that bad though none can be trusted. If you walk with God it is easy to spot them. He will simply tell you when you run across one of them.

I've had people openly admit to me what they are although I never even voiced a suspicion.

>I did begin a story placed about 100 years after the Downfall, but it proved both sinister and depressing. Since we are dealing with Men it is inevitable that we should be concerned with the most regrettable feature of their nature: their quick satiety with good. So that the people of Gondor in times of peace, justice and prosperity, would become discontented and restless — while the dynasts descended from Aragorn would become just kings and governors — like Denethor or worse. I found that even so early there was an outcrop of revolutionary plots, about a centre of secret Satanistic religion; while Gondorian boys were playing at being Orcs and going around doing damage. I could have written a 'thriller' about the plot and its discovery and overthrow — but it would have been just that. Not worth doing.

E michael jones, the last gentleman scholar, will tell you the score. Basically tolkein loved the wagnerian ring cycle, but as a member of the ETERNAL ANGLO, he couldn't abide its obvious antisemiticism. So he decided to do an obvious fanfiction of it in THE HOBBIT. But rather than Albreich the treacherous usurer dwarf-jew, he makes the dwarfs nationless displaced people, who desire to regain their homeland from the dragon.

Basically, because anglos LOVE LOVE LOVE jews, he turned them from kikes into burly zionists.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khuzdul

>Tolkien noted some similarities between Dwarves and Jews: both were "at once natives and aliens in their habitations, speaking the languages of the country, but with an accent due to their own private tongue…".[1] Tolkien also commented of the Dwarves that "their words are Semitic obviously, constructed to be Semitic."[2] Tolkien based Dwarvish language on the Semitic languages. Like these, Khuzdul has triconsonantal roots: kh-z-d, b-n-d, z-g-l. Also other similarities to Hebrew in phonology and morphology have been observed.[3][4]

>Although only a very limited vocabulary is known, Tolkien mentioned that he had developed the language to a certain extent. It is unknown whether such writings still exist.[5]

Martin is the most pretentious fucking person on the planet. Game of Thrones is Lord of the Rings for nihilist liberal cuckolds. It replaces good vs. evil with progressive wet dreams vs patriarchy, skips over battles so he can spend two pages talking about the size of the dick on the big brown warrior about to rape Dany, and his fictional civilizations are just a mix of progressive propaganda (Westeros, the war-torn, superstitious shithole, is Christian Europe) and just mashing together features of completely unrelated cultures onto a continent that is basically giant Britain.

I dropped it because I realised it was losing all real substance, turning into a "FUCK THE PATRIARCHY" pile of horseshit, and that I was no longer surprised when major characters died because of how fucking frequent it is
For instance when Edd dies its a gut wrenching scene and you were not expecting it.
He leaves you just enough hope that he can survive to honestly think it ends well then he tears it all down
its a well written in death (credit where credit is due) but the only interesting thing is the fucking deaths, not how they die or why, but WHO.
Hell other than that the most interesting part of the series is Danaerys fucking everything up at every opportunity despite being handed the world on a platter

Fuck the series, really.

Don't get me wrong, GOT isn't bad and it is great compared to most of the shit shows out there. But the fact he takes a shot at Tolkien who basically created modern high fantasy is retarded as fuck
