    Lol, Tolkien hated the nazis primarily because they were fucking nazis, he was miffed about their use of germanic and Norse mythological imagery cause they were intentionally warping a history he knew a fuckload about. But to say he was mad cause the nazis made white supremacy look bad is absurd and doesn't really understand how old timey this dude is, if anything Tolkien thought that damage was done following the Norman Conquest. My man was waaaaaay too mideval and ancient history brained to even consider a unified white European culture to be a thing.
