    A bit of a side tract, but ffs how shitty it is that these ghouls have just taken all these words and names from lotr and use them in their imperialism to make it sound cool and good actually. Our poor good western world just fighting againts the dark lords of the world, just like Aragorn. It is nauseating because it is so deeply disingenious (unless these people believe in their own bullshit).

      Well, they ran out of all the cool names from the Cowboy universe like Apache and Tomahawk.

        an underappreciated milestone of the modern era is when the settler-colonialists ran out of frontier and had to start naming their weapons and technology after fictional genocides

      Because these people think of the world in terms of LOTR just like liberals think in terms of Harry Potter
