not even that, it’s about whether there will be someone in power saying “you know it’s impolite to drive so fast” without any other difference

no she’s pro-violent rhetoric on the left, she’s against people who go “ahh the violence on the left… truly both sides are too radical”

it’s nice to see a country where ‘rule of law’ has meaning and gets used to protect actual people

yeah a lot of dems are far right enough they’d probably be labour

i would probably bring back jesus as i have no brand loyalty, and i think it’d be funniest

The Red Book of Westmarch is, of course, not actually written by Bilbo, Frodo, and Sam. It is a much later concoction, and it’s fundamental purpose is to sell a narrative legitimizing the Fairbairns of the Towers’ status as one of the three paramount families of the Shire,without compromising the politically important narrative of their half-legendary progenitor, Samwise Gamgee as an ascended commoner.

To this end, it interweaves a complicated web of triple anachronism. On the one hand, it anachronistically projects the prosperity and easygoing lifestyle of the contemporary gentry onto the historic characters of Peregrin Took, Meriadoc Brandybuck, and Frodo Baggins, portraying the three of them (all, other records make clear, experienced tribal war-leaders skilled in guerrilla warfare well before their mercenary expedition to the south lands) as bumbling hedonists before they were “toughened up” by their travels. On the other hand, it conflates Frodo Baggins, a historic personage who willed his considerable fortune to Samwise Gamgee, who was probably his homosexual lover, with Frodo Nine-Fingers, generally thought to be a wholly mythic personage belonging to an entirely earlier era.

Thus, while “Merry” and “Pippin” grow into formidable leaders in the courts of Southern sovereigns, Frodo (the originator of the Gamgee fortune) is saving the world, and Samwise Gamgee is making it all possible.

some weebs like that. ever heard of ‘big mommy milkers’ and ‘ara ara’?

that’s a completely different guy! iroquois plissken has nothing to do with anyone named snake, and i won’t hear otherwise :soviet-huff:
