#Fascistic

2025-12-31

I always thought that #JRRTolkien's #Smaug was a metaphor for the #IndustrialAge and #WealthHoarding. It seems I'm not alone! #Tolkien was actually an #environmentalist and possibly a #socialist (though he describes himself as an #anarchist). Does that mean #LOTR will be banned by #Fascistic #Capitalists? Hmmmm...

#Dragonomics: Smaug and #ClimateChange

Posted on February 22, 2019 by Richard Fahey

Excerpt: "Today, we talk about dragons. I refer specifically to the greedy, northern (often fire-breathing) variety as described in Beowulf and featured in Tolkien’s #Hobbit, and I will consider how these monsters present #EnvironmentalCatastrophe as a direct result of #hoarding and #greed.

"My discussion of dragons and climate change continues my recent series of blogs interested in placing medieval literature (and in this case also modern medievalism) in conversation with current crises. This blog develops an earlier argument made in a paper at a 'Tolkien in Vermont' conference (2014), titled 'Dragonomics: Smaug and #Pollution on Middle-Earth,' in which I argue that pollution in Tolkien’s Hobbit is linked to both the literal destruction by the dragon, and the rampant greed that motivates Smaug and ultimately initiates the plunder and violence at the Battle of Five Armies."

If you find it normal and even legitimate to cause heavy injuries to demonstrators or even kill them, simply because they are disturbing the daily routine of #capitalism and #neoliberalism or refusing to obey a police's order, or if you find it alright to mistreat or even kill so-called " #illegal " #immigrants , then, why are you shocked that people spewing #fascistic #ideologies or even participating in massive #PoliticalViolence can become the target of retaliation by mere lambda individuals?

While I'm critical of the poverty industry, this recent comment by Musk is absolutely inhuman and right on-brand!
