Wow I can't imagine why reactionaries keep latching onto this fantasy series about the Men of the West uniting under a rightful monarch to wage justified war against a corrupt and evil race, written by a man who supported Francisco Franco
No I really cant imagine how the series about short brown farmers (read the description of hobbits in ch1 of the hobbit!) help create a multispecies coalition to destroy the armies of industrial europe before they do more ecocide and genocide gets latched onto by reactionaries
Like ffs in the hobbit its suggested that modern society is goblin society! This is right before the down to goblin town song everyone knows!!!! In lotr, orcs do the whole modern european army thing with numbers, reports, orders, etc, and everyone just latches onto the whip song from the movie and the (reactionary) descriptions and depictions of their appearance.
Also afaik the support for franco thing ammounts to one letter where he is upset about anticlericalism. Reactionary yes, but if we're basing his views on his letters he spends far more time complaining about the british and american empires than any other (and suggests the soviets to be better than either),
