@ventotene12 @AmericanGwyn It really does make sense. Sam desired no power, even when tempted by the ring itself. Sauron wanted all the power in middle-earth.

1. We’re in the middle of The Return of the King in my speculative fiction class and one of my students pointed out the way Tolkien pairs his characters a foil or counterpart: Gandalf/Saruman, Boromir/Faramir, Frodo/Gollum, Éomer/Éowyn, Legolas/Gimli, Merry/Pippin, etc.

@trad_west_ This is mostly true. But everyone seems to gloss over the “I am a woman!” scene when whatshername kills the Ringwraith.

I'll never understand why people trust Steve Bannon. In the 2016 campaign, Bannon---along with the rest of BREITBART---was a Ted Cruz guy. Bannon only joined Trump's campaign after Cruz was forced out. He was never committed to MAGA, but an opportunist looking for his next grift. Steve Bannon was the source of most of the leaks in the first months of Trump's first term. He couldn't resist running his big mouth and sowing discord. Note that when Trump kicked Bannon out of the White House in August 2017, the leaks suddenly stopped and the people Bannon was leaking to pivoted to "woe is me, Trump has lost, MAGA is dooooooomed!" Bannon, in keeping with his MO, sabotaged the Senate special election in Alabama later that year. He promoted a Christian cuckservative over Trump's endorsed candidate, a cuckservative with a billion sexual harassment allegations against him. This directly caused the Democrats to win the seat. Repeat that: Steve Bannon lost a Senate seat in ALABAMA. All throughout this, Bannon kept running his mouth to the press. When FIRE AND FURY was released in early 2018, Trump---who had held his tongue previously---openly denounced Bannon. Sloppy Steve earned his sobriquet. His leaking to Michael Wolff was bad enough that even BREITBART had to can him. Since then, Bannon has spent his life sliming from grift to grift, each more transparently scammy than the last. Remember when he was building some kind of "academy" for right-wing dissidents in Italy only for the government to tell him to get lost? Remember when he was palling around with fraudster Guo Wengui? Remember their absurd "New Federal State of China" project? It's rough out there for a con man like Bannon. Bannon was rightly arrested in 2020 for his role in embezzling from We Build the Wall. Proving that he's a far better man than any of us, Trump put aside his justified beef with Bannon to pardon him in the last days of his first term, saving him from the wrath of the Democrats. Bannon then decided to pull a Chuck Johnson and refused to respond to a J6-related congressional subpoena, landing himself in prison. Bannon has demonstrable ties to the Democrats. Here he is palling around with Lina Khan, a British-born Biden administration hatchet-girl who spent her tenure as FTC chairwoman trying to destroy American industry (and losing almost every suit her office filed because she was incompetent even by Biden's standards). In short, Steve Bannon has always been a Con Inc. saboteur. He has spent the past decade trying to undermine MAGA in any way he can, from leaks and gossip to outright fraud. I have no doubt he's connected to Nick Fuentes and other Blackpill Inc. grifters. Do not trust Bannon. He is a scumbag.

So much of this online blackpilling seems to come from people around Bannon.

@PalantirChris @GaryBeatty18640 @DrKarlynB No, the founders would have not allowed thousands of American women and children to be graped by illegal aliens. The founders wouldnt cry boo hoo all day every day about ICE operations while simultaneously ignoring the torture of America's most vulnerable. Idiot

@GaryBeatty18640 @DrKarlynB Peaceful protestors are supposed to get shot in the eye and go blind like that teenager? You want the state to have a monopoly on violence and for the people to be neutered and docile. The founders woulda hanged you for treason man. Redcoat response

Doesn't matter. Tolkein writes in letter 246: Letter 246: In this letter, Tolkien called it one of the "most tragic moments" in the story, as Sam's failure to see Gollum's changed aspect "blighted" his potential repentance, making the journey to Mordor much harder and leading to the Shelob encounter.

Michael Straight, editor of New Republic, asked Tolkien whether there was a "meaning" behind Gollum's final actions and Frodo's moral failure at Mt. Doom. Here is Tolkien's response: "The final scene of the Quest was so shaped simply because having regard to the situation, and to the 'characters' of Frodo, Sam, and Gollum, those events seemed to me mechanically, morally, and psychologically credible. But, of course, if you wish for more reflection, I should say that within the mode of the story the 'catastrophe' exemplifies (an aspect of) the familiar words: 'Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive them that trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.'"

Sauron reclaimed all Nine Rings of men by the end of the Third Age, holding them himself to maintain control over the Nazgûl. Four of the Dwarven rings were destroyed by dragons that plagued the Dwarf kingdoms, as the rings' power drew such beasts to their hoards. Sauron recovered the remaining three.

@LOTR_Daily_ That there are SEVEN rings of power just laying around somewhere that the 'dwarf lords' lost! And what about the 9 that the Nazgul had? What happened to those? There could be a total of 16 magic rings just roaming the wilds, and no one seems to care!

@bambkb OK, but do you remember when Corey Taylor told his fans not to come to the concerts without first taking the vaccine? I do. They are satanic - don't be gullible.
