Just so you know, one of the most common tactics in a scam is to convince the target that they must "act fast or the opportunity will be over!"

And then a literal Ubermensch saves the galaxy, again, mostly with violence.

I get what you mean, but I think that message might be getting lost if that was the intention. Plus all those smart people still work for space fascists in the first place.

Heck, reminding myself of the details of the UEG/UNSC I'm looking at a Reddit thread right now were some poor kid asked if they had a shadow fascist government and all the comments are assuring him no, a military junta is in fact very cool and based, so even if the writers intended that poor kid's questioning to be the goal of the Halo narrative, um, mission failed.

I don't know that I'd call Halo anti-fascist lol, but otherwise this a great breakdown of Tolkien's mindset while creating Middle Earth that hits the important elements without getting lost in the weeds, like trying to figure out whatever the fuck Tolkien thinks "anarcho monarchism" actually is and how, exactly, it's different, much less better, than an absolute monarchy.

Hobbits had a government and a class system. In Tolkien it's divine monarchies all the way down, some are just God willed and others are... Technically also God willed, because the good guys need bad guys to stab, I guess.

Case #363784589 of the most common feature of a liberal being not knowing what liberalism is.

It's not really your fault, it's entirely by design from the kind of people who hate both liberals and socialists.

Ideologically speaking, in the broad senses of "socialism, liberalism, and fascism," yes, Tucker pretends to be a liberal. That is what American conservativism should be conserving, as that's what the American Experiment is, liberalism.

I don't agree with genocide supporters on the genocide, and that is enough.
