Not sure if altered pasta...

Well, both Americans and Grey Knights are well known for friendly fire incidents, starting wars they didn't need to and blind fanaticism, so yes, I'd agree that America may very well be the Grey Knights.
>>
>>47352630
America would be Space Marines and Chaos Space Marines combined.

Uh... no actually. Could do without the racist

Tolkien's Elves were similar to pre-Anglo-Saxon celts in a sense. I think their whole deal was them being a metaphor for the passing of Britain's celtic linguistic roots into legend to be replaced by the rapidly expanding Germanics (Men in LoTR are obviously Anglo-Saxon horsemen)

Though the French also have Celtic roots as well

>The elves are a linguistic metaphor
Only in Tolkien.
>>
>>47352745
Dwarves are a metaphor for semitic language groups that made their way into Europe through Jewish migration/converts. Khuzdul is his version of Hebrew he said.

He claimed a lot of his stuff wasn't allegorical in nature I find that to be bullshit.

As memes and stereotypes they are quite true. And I say this as spaniard.
