Thanks 😊 luckily I no longer sound like Tolkien in daily speech 😅

I think that even beyond the racist language, what really makes Tolkien's stuff so appealing to fascists is the repeated theme of a golden age of past purity vs present degeneration, heroes that represent the true lineage in a struggle against corruption and fall. He introduces some complexity so it's not completely cut and dried but that's still the central theme of pretty much all of it and it fits fash ideology ☹️
