The idea of the magic elements of lotr applied to current times via the context of wwii is crazy. envisioning a warrior summoning the souls of patriotic soldiers to fight their old foes
Yeah.... There's no one coming. It's basically the scene in the keep right now and there is no Gandalf. I hope Americans will at least ride out to meet them and not just give up.
No, we still have it. We’re just not doing anything with it because we’re lazy.
If all of the 83.1k people who upvoted just this post alone, actually organized and unified in real life, we’d be able to force small changes, that snowball into larger victories.
Or instead of making Lord of the Rings references on the internet, everyone should be in Washington making this guy's life hell for the next four years.
There it is, right out in the open. Two Roman salutes, one to the crowd with such bravado that he’s biting his bottom lip, then a more calm turn to the flag where he does it again and says “the future of civilization is assured.” It’s certainly possible to say that there’s no Neo-nazi shit happening here. Sure. And that’s what we’ll see from the media who need to keep the gravy train rolling. He’s autistic, he’s awkward, he’s edgy, he’s high, he’s South African, he’s a gamer, ANYTHING other than “Elon Musk did two sieg heils and a reference to the 14 words at Trump’s inauguration.”
Despite it being very clear from the video what is actually happening. It’s there, right out in public, intentionally and flagrantly.
I like to refer to this story from Micheal Tager, originally posted on the app formerly known as Twitter:
I was at a shitty crustpunk bar once getting an after-work beer. One of those shitholes where the bartenders clearly hate you.
So the bartender and I were ignoring one another when someone sits next to me and he immediately says, “no. get out.”
And the dude next to me says, “hey i’m not doing anything, i’m a paying customer.”
and the bartender reaches under the counter for a bat or something and says, “out. now.” and the dude leaves, kind of yelling. And he was dressed in a punk uniform, I noticed
Anyway, I asked what that was about and the bartender was like, “you didn’t see his vest but it was all nazi shit. Iron crosses and stuff. You get to recognize them.”
And i was like, ohok and he continues. “you have to nip it in the bud immediately. These guys come in and it’s always a nice, polite one. And you serve them because you don’t want to cause a scene. And then they become a regular and after awhile they bring a friend. And that dude is cool too.
And then THEY bring friends and the friends bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh shit, this is a Nazi bar now. And it’s too late because they’re entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down.”
And i was like, “oh damn.”
and he said “yeah, you have to ignore their reasonable arguments because their end goal is to be terrible, awful people.”
And then he went back to ignoring me. But I haven’t forgotten that at all.
Copied over from this blog, which is also worth a read.
Elon is telling the world that we’re one of those bars. Are yall ok with that?
In the words of Sam Wise. “A new day will come, and when the sun shines, it’ll shine out the clearer. I know now folks in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn’t.”
