#Tolkien ist ein Lieblingsautor der extremen Rechten aller Spielarten. Die wohl durchgeballertste Adaption bisher kommt aus der Zeitung „Aufgewacht“ der #FreieSachsen: Tolkien als Prophet, der u.a. das Ende des „Tiefen Staates“ voraussagt. Ein unvollständiger 🧵zur Einordnung. 
Der Autor Ludwig D. #Gartz, ein #Homöopath und Anhänger der #Freiwirtschaftslehre, sieht Tolkien als Propheten im Kampf gegen die „Hochfinanz“, die wiederum den „Tiefen Staat“ lenkt. Der „Herr der Ringe“ mache Voraussagen für Gegenwart und Zukunft.
Das Ende der Hochfinanz vollziehe sich in fünf Schritten. Wir befinden uns zwischen der zweiten und der dritten Phase, die gleichzeitig die gefährlichste sei.
So, on this day in 1937 The #Hobbit (see #Tolkien cover below👇) was published. To mark this auspicious occasion, I present an old thread newly entitled 'My Top 10 (Not Quite Definitive) Favourite (Mostly Published) Illustrations of Hobbits (And Not Just Bilbo) Ever (Almost)'...

ORCS
1. Orcs
In the time of the coming of Elves, Morgoth ensnared many. By slow arts of cruelty, he corrupted & ensalved them. Thus, Morgoth 'breed the race of Orcs in envy and mockery of Elves'.
The Orcs multiplied; they became the bitterest foes of Elves. #TheSilmarillion

2. `Anchor him.`
As the Orcs multiplied, they grew strong and fell where 'their dark lord filled them with a lust of ruin and death.' (chp 3, Sil)
Of all races, they know enslavement. Yet they are so corrupted, they exact the same cruelty on the other races.

#thread et réponses aux nombreux commentaires sur la présence de noirs dans #RingsOfPower (sois-disant adapté) de #tolkien. Je précise dès le début que je suis noir et connait assez bien le lore de Tolkien, sans être un mega spécialiste.
Déjà, il faut remonter aux origines : John Ronald Reuel Tolkien est né en 1892. Sa famille est principalement saxonne. Dès l'enfance, il manifeste un grand intérêt pour la littérature et la poésie. Les paysages de la campagne anglaise seront d'ailleurs une base essentielle pour
ses futures créations. Ses "randonnées" lui inspirent plusieurs poèmes.
Durant la 1ere guerre mondiale, il est réquisitionné à plusieurs postes, mais fini blessé. Et c'est pendant sa convalescence qu'il commence à rédiger les Comtes perdus.

In 2004, late anthropologist Mire Morwood discovered #fossils of a tiny species of hominin on Flores, an #Indonesian island.
Named Homo floresiensis & dating back to the late #Pleistocene, this was a contemporary of early modern humans in Southeast Asia.

The diminutive hominin bore a resemblance to the australopithecines and even chimps to some extent.
Considering the kind of attention that #LordOfTheRings garnered in the early 2000s, it was only natural that the fun-sized H. floresiensis be nicknamed after #TheHobbit.

Vi recentemente uma polêmica a respeito de Tolkien, com muitas convicções e poucas provas. Ele seria racista? Pela resposta dele a um editor alemão que queria que ele comprovasse não ter ascendência judaica, não. (continua) #Tolkien #Hobbit #SenhorDosAneis #Racismo
“Obrigado por sua carta. Temo não compreender o que você quer dizer com ‘ariano’. Não sou de ascendência ariana: isso é indo-iraniano; e, tanto quanto eu sei, nenhum dos meus antepassados falava hindustani, persa, gitana ou qualquer dialeto relacionado. Mas, se eu entendi bem,+
você está perguntando se sou de origem judaica. A isso, só posso responder que lamento o fato de que aparentemente não possuo antepassados deste povo talentoso. Meu tataravô chegou na Inglaterra no século XVIII vindo da Alemanha: a maior parte da minha ascendência, portanto, é+
I've been asked several times today to give my view on this so here it goes. First things first, there are links between Middle-earth and the history of Europe but not in any way this thread suggests. 1/13

There is no such quotation in Tolkien's published works - unless the author of this thread or the article they cite have access to unpublished letters/manuscripts by Tolkien (and permission to quote from them):

No he didn't. He found lots of "old books" in several languages in the Bodleian, but this is hardly "the basement of the school's library" (which school, I wonder? and which library?)
