But with everyone under his thumb and some men(there will be) even exploiting the situation to oppress other men couldn't it go on either forever or a very very long time.

It was just one fanficcy dystopian scenario. I just wanted to give it some color and detail so the discussion would have more to chew on.

Imagine this... Frodo manages to overpower Gollum and throw him into the lava. He then pushes Sam aside with the Ring. The Nazgul return and Frodo only exerts limited control over them before he is...

Banditry in middle earth and the third age

Banditry or the iconic image of raiders and criminals living in the woods raiding travelers and passerbys seems to have a minor role in the Legendarium. However I am curious during the late third age...

Evil men in Mandos

So when men die in Arda they go a separate hall than they elves and are basically processed and leave quickly going beyond the world. I'm curious what would happen in Mandos to evil men or men with...

I just find it amusing some particularly sneaky man late in the third age has done the impossible-snuck aboard an elven ship and survived to reach the Blessed Land. They sneak off and are immediately...

The full extent of the Reunited Kingdom

So we have a glimpse of middle earth's future as it marched into the fourth age. I am curious though how big did the Reunited Kingdom get. Aragorn and Eomer pursued campaigns around the sea of Rhun...

Mortal stowaway on elven ships

This is a question that has dangled on in my mind. Say a hobbit or particularly stealthy man sneaks aboard an elven ship heading to Valinor through the Straight Road, and assuming they don't get...

So I am inclined to view it as Tolkien's quixotic but ultimately...

Given the likely geography of their homeland I can't see why they wouldn't be horsemen.

Rhun had large plains and open country.

We can assume Harad being desert and Khand bordering both of them...
