"We should get rid of LOTR because a few Nazis on twitter made Aragon shitpost edits and because it's not morally grey enough for the media literacy people to whinge about fans 'just not getting it' on Twitter" This is what shitlibs actually believe, these people have a brain parasite.
Should also be noted that this dude just overtly misquoted and misinterpreted Tolkien, Tolkien disliked Dune because it was an allegory and he hated allegories, Dune also isn't morally ambiguous, there are clear good and evil factions, the lines are just blurred due to politics and the short comings of prominent characters. Media literacy people don't even read the books or understand the authors that they lecture other people about
@Shadowman311they want everything to be morally grey so they can make it into whatever they want at the moment to bludgeon you with. give me something where the good guys are good and the bad guys are bad, that’s why I’ve grown to like lord of the rings so much the past few years. it’s just good guys beating bad guys unambiguously for once
@Turdicusquite a few of the so called "morally grey" stories they love so much aren't even that grey, they are just stories about people with good intentions having to do evil things in the short term for a long term good, that's not morally ambiguous that's the ends justifying the means.
@TurdicusIf Frank Herbert had actually lived long enough to finish the Dune series and expand upon the mysterious threat to humanity that the series was building towards then I suspect that these people wouldn't be able to paint Dune as a "morally ambiguous" story like they do now.
@Shadowman311>guy who fought against nazis questions concept of morality
Hmmm makes you think. For people painted as history's unambiguous bad guys you would think those fighting them would walk away with more clear-cut morals, not less.
@Shadowman311Complex political realities can exist while Good V Evil still plays out.
It's just that people don't feel good about picking a side they are on board with 90% of the things they do but don't like 10%. Aka, they think the factions should be 100% friend v 100% enemy, so in the end they don't actually want complex political realities.
@ACL9000@judgedread@Shadowman311Dune is literally a story of a dude sacrificing his own humanity to abenge his family name. I guess thats morally gray.
I mean is it any surprise? They took nigger out of huckleberry finn and made it "friend jim" or some shit. Because god forbid you accurately portray how things were. People are faggots.
@Shadowman311But they do believe in a black and white morality. Where they are the good guys fighting for tolerance and love. While those who oppose them are evil extremists
Removed the word nigger so hes not nigger jim anymore I can't remember if they gave him another qualifier or if it just Jim now but either way nigger is out
Does he mean "us", or (((us)))? Because a message about goodness, heroism and the need to defend the White West serves people who aren't rootless cosmopolitans really well.
I would also like to point out that The entire point of Dune was a man saving humanity from excess and forever wars by scattering civilization to the four winds of the cosmos because the melting pot of the human empire had grown too big and corrupt. This fucking faggot never read the books.
@SuperSnekFriend@Shadowman311 this is what they value and believe. Even his phrasing, “which myth serves us better” is draped in neoliberal mindrot. the very video is propaganda, not even quoting Tolkein despite slandering him.
@RehnSturm256@Shadowman311@SuperSnekFriend Apparently the ONLY thing that matters is preventing another Hitler from emerging, never mind that communists have objectively caused far more harm than the Nazis.
Of course, people like that fag are precisely why I now support the Nazis.
@Shadowman311 White people aren't allowed to have countries anymore White people aren't allowed to have White children anymore White people aren't allowed to have free speech anymore White people aren't allowed to have tales of heroism anymore White people aren't even allowed to have BEAUTY anymore
All because Jews, for once, got taste of Karma between 1933 and 1945.
@ChristiJunior@RehnSturm256@Shadowman311@SuperSnekFriendPeople do not hate fascism because it is evil (which means jack shit coming from godless moral relativists) but because it is society's immune response to the disease killing it
@VidMasterEon@ChristiJunior@Shadowman311@SuperSnekFriend@RehnSturm256 The problem with fascism is usually that the man taking absolute power is unfit to wield it. Hitler and Mussolini got too full of themselves, while Franco was an actual military man and governed pretty well.
@ChristiJunior@Shadowman311The part that really bugs me is that we, according to their propaganda now, send hundreds of thousands of good white boys from kansas, wyoming, texas, and virgina to their deaths just to save those jews from the concentration camps.
So many dead, billions of gallons of our grandfathers, uncles, and cousins' blood spilled TO SAVE THESE UNGRATEFUL JEWS, and they treat us like WE were the ones running the camps.
@SuperSnekFriend@Shadowman311 Pollock was a mediocre hack that couldn't even draw a stick figure properly, at least Hitler had talent as a painter and was a master craftsman at a very difficult medium like watercolors.
@WashedOutGundamPilot@ChristiJunior@Shadowman311Not only don't we get a single statue in gratitude at any of the "never again" Holocaust museums in OUR country, they tear down all existing statues of our past heroes.
I mean... The guy who was like "Let's kill half the life in the universe, that's a long-term solution to the problem of too much life in the universe" kinda fits.
@ChristiJunior@RehnSturm256@Shadowman311@SuperSnekFriend Nazis vs Communist 12 years rule ( 1933-1945 ) vs 74 years rule ( 1918-1992 ) "6 million jews" vs more than close to 10 million people 20 countries invaded by the nazis vs 21 countries invaded or becoming satellite countries of the USSR
Yeah, I'd say the Soviets were far worse than the Nazis
@sj_zero@Shadowman311@ophanimalistic@mischievoustomatohe just wanted to kill people and had a God complex about it. kinda like Jigsaw obviously just wanted to torture people to death and just needed a good moral excuse to do it
Now I want to rewrite the entire Lord of the Rings as a White Pride/White Power anthem, where they eradicate not only all the filth races, but enslave the Hobbits, elves, and dwarves, and live happily ever after.
@Laurel@Shadowman311@TurdicusNobody kows this outside of my own headcanon I made up just now but the bigger enemy that was being hinted at was the Covenant. Dune is the prequel to Halo.
@Shadowman311@Turdicus"Gray is the color of cowardice and ignorance and sheer laziness, Davian--never let anyone tell you otherwise. If something is not clearly right or wrong then it bears actually *figuring out* which one it is, not dismissal into some nebulous third category. If you have a basis for your morality, a foundation for it, then there will always be an answer--and if you do not, then trying to decide whether *anything* is right or wrong is an exercise in futility and irrelevance.” -The Licanius Trilogy
@epictittusThe new movies are extremely weak. It's amazing how much better they make the Lynch film look in comparison - and I have always been a fan of the Lynch version.
@Victor_Emmanuel@ophanimalistic@Shadowman311From what I hear the author got told to cool it with the nationalist tendencies and he went nuclear and had Eren turn into a fucking pathetic whining slob, the complete opposite of what his character has been the entire fucking story
@Shadowman311I never liked Dune, don't like deserts, didn't like the tech or the premise. I watched the remake of Dune (not Dune 2) and found it dry and dull at best. Lord of the Rings is king and as a racist I know the dwarves were the jews and the orcs are the blacks and the haradrim the Middle East. Tolkien understood the world very well.
the only similarity they have is that they covet gold and are insular. other than that they are completely different. Dwarves are expert craftsman and love work and would rather dig their way into the solid rock of a mountain than parasite off the people around them.
Would this have some sort of weird unintended effect where people would make raids on other species and have giant orgies right after the battle to try and fill up their population?
@Dudebro@Shadowman311@branman65@ophanimalistic@mischievoustomato@sj_zeroThe problem is. that while their will always be a frontier. the people at the center of the universe will eventually become so far away from the frontier that it will become easier to war with each other than to travel to the frontier
