What an incredible discussion today. It is riveting.
On the Amazon LOTR issue, I would say that the merchant class has its own religions. A feature of the world at large is that underneath all of these problems sits a massive Ponzi scheme. What is a Ponzi scheme? It is a fraud, which is a departure from reality. That departure from reality is all enabled by fiat currency and debt financing.
As for Amazon they may not see the LOTR failure as a failure. One of the religious beliefs in corporate world is that failure is good. Failure is a necessary condition to success. That credo is the foundation of Amazon. They rode fiat largesse to liquidate bonds at zero cost and destroyed any competition along the way.
The head of Amazon films is a true believer in DIE. Amazon films has an apartheid anti-white hiring policy. Have a look at Amazon films. It is possible that the priests and the money changers have merged. Remember, if there is no tradition then everything is a product that can be substituted and replaced. What if the priests and the money changers want a deracinated, rootless non-people. Sure LOTR was not profitable, but what if it was for them, an investment?
I want to say one last thing unrelated. The LOTR race substitution tells you that this is not a multi-cultural project. A black person playing an elf is not multi-cultural. The elf is a Nordic/Germanic cultural phenomenon. Multi-culturalism and a true valuation of diversity would keep LOTR white and Northern European, but would make something of Negroid mythology, (if it exists), with only negroids in the cast. Then, it would seek to celebrate each culture’s expression and value them equally and enough to preserve them.
This project is purely and simply anti-white and bent on destruction of the people’s of Europe and our homelands.
Amazing show. Back to the final half hour.
Thanks so much. I am glad you are enjoying it.
The major problem with the Amazon lotr is not the race substitution. It was boring crap. If it had been well done, including some blacks may have not been such a big deal.
Are all elves white? Several sons of Feanor are described as “dark.” Caranthir the Dark. All the noldor have dark hair and eyes, except the ones interbred with vanyar, who are golden, so by “dark” Tolkien must have meant something more than dark hair. Perhaps he meant dark as in not good, like dark lord, but they were called that before they became evil, so I think it referred to skin color. Some elves may have been groids boys! Face it!
I think “dark” refers to eye or hair color, not race.
Well read what I said. It would make sense too, because those are precisely the two that tried to cut Beren with Angrist. Yep.
it was a great stream though. To all involved!
Okay, just to show what I mean: all the Noldorin elves had dark or raven hair. Tolkien is pretty emphatic on this point. There are different sub races of elves who are described fairly well. All the seven sons of feanor were pure noldor. Fingolfin and fingon were sons of Indis of the vanyar, hence they were golden haired, but of mixed blood, as was Galadriel who was the daughter of fingon. Legolas had gold hair, but he was of a much diffferent race from any of those elves. So to call caranthir, one of the seven sons of feanor, “the dark” would be like saying “Greg the White”, unless something more was meant by that epithet, since all noldor have dark hair. I take it to mean that some elves have dark skin or complexion as an unusual trait. I don’t think Tolkien meant them to be like black Africans, but one could stretch the point.
Okay, belaboring the point, I think Maeglin is described as having dark skin too. Now does he mean dark like the werewolf guy from twilight or an Arab or a black, I don’t know.
All the sources are consistent in depicting luthien with black hair, but she’s never called “the dark”, but rather “the fair.”
It refers to hair (or sometimes eye) color. It’s a somewhat antiquated usage of the word.
The Gaelic “dubh” (“dark”) is usually translated as “dark-haired” when used to describe a person.
Really outstanding discussion. You guys really click together.
Enjoyed the show and thought I’d clear something up re the Italian agricultural minister and his half a million migrants, Francesco Lollobrigida actually said there a half a million vacancies in Italy agricultural sector etc which they always fill with seasonal labour which nearly always comes from across the Adriatic in the Balkan nations. That’s what he’s referring to, Fratelli Di Italia and Lega are against the sort of mass non white immigration the left champion.
Both Meloni and Salvini have stated publicly they oppose the great replacement in those words.
Thanks
