Anything can be twisted to fit a narrative.... Unfortunately.

I am so tired of revisionist nonsense. The imbecile actually read Tolkien's rejections of Nazism, anti-semitism and Apartheid but blithely ignored the crux of the author's sentiment.

No perspective, no context, no actual knowledge of the subject matter -- just reading articles regarding shallowly stupid Facists subverting the mythos for their own sordid means. One could say the same for warped zealots of whichever religion you care to mention who subjugate the messages of Jesus Christ or Mohammed in order to encourage slavery, to engender racism and misogyny, and to commit genocide.

Asinine.

It's rather appalling that anyone has enough time to make such rubbish.
And it's even more appalling that some people will indeed believe it.
