Why The Far-Right LOVE The Lord of the Rings
Lord of the Rings is one of the biggest entertainment IPs in the world. Thanks to the popular book series that was then adapted into some of the most critically acclaimed movies of all time, with Return of the King sweeping the Oscars in particular.
Lord of the Rings has an absolutely massive fanbase all across the political spectrum. However, this means that alot of the worst people in the entire world are also big fans of LOTR and we have to ask why...?
This is nothing new. The far-right have always loved Tolkien's work, which was a ripe canvass to project any worldview they had. This was seen most prominently in 1970/80s Italy, which produced the new PM Giorgia Meloni.

Body Shaming Women but make it WOKE (The Liberal Cult of Blue MAGA)
About the whole "it's too black and white and when you develop politically, you don't like it" Tbh, that seems like many leftist people seem to have, imo. To explain this: I like my brain to sit down after the whole complicated real life shit. And like fast food, sometimes you take in some simple stuff. One shouldn't do this too often and one should be aware that it's not airways the healthiest. But sometimes, it feels ok and helps to calm down when life is hard. And it's I too do that with simple scenarios, that's why some of us also like kids' shows. I'm all about reflecting your own actions but even as a leftist, one shouldn't be to hard on themselves. Especially when taking care of themselves.
It unifies the way racists and fascists perceive the world.
I knew Russell was guilty when he got baptized. The man shed all his previous beliefs to endear himself to his new fan base.
I don't understand how so many people fail to understand the argument of the movie of JD Vance's life, Hillbilly Elegy. The entire movie is about how JD Vance's mother was genetically a genius, intellectually superior, and how JD Vance himself inherited her mother's superior genetics, and how even he, with his superior genetics, had to work 60 different jobs, all the while studying at Yale Law School for Fascists, to get himself out of generational poverty. So if you are born genetically superior, and there is only a 1% chance that you will be born with genius genetics, and then you also work 60 different jobs, and then you get accepted into Yale Law School... If JD Vance can do it. You can do it. All it takes, is just a little bit of work and dedication from you. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps and make something of yourself. Basically, Hillbilly Elegy accidentally demonstrates why JD Vance is a moron who doesn't understands anything, or why JD Vance is a racist bad faith actor who understands everything.
Can't stand lotr, read the first book found it to be boring. Randall was right, bunch of walking.
I won't lie... It's never heard of LotR until the film's. I remember watching the first one and being upset when it ended because it felt like I'd already gone through so much with characters and I wasn't going to get the closure/happy ending then. But when I watched it again, I noticed it was an all white cast, which seemed strange. Then I looked it up and apparently there was one black actor playing one of the creatures. You can't tell me that with a cast that big, you couldn't find one 'minority' to play a main role. That's a deliberate choice and it's really taken the shine off those films for me.
Damn I might have to stop liking lotr if all these dickheads enjoy it too.
Tolkien read Dune - as in the first novel of the series. It's unknown if he read any other books in the series, but it's known for a fact that he read the first one, and really did not like it. He was sent the first novel by someone and letters Tolkien wrote have been released to the public, and Tolkien wrote back that he had read it, didn't really go in to specifics about what he didn't like. Maybe you mention that somewhere in the video later, but just in case you didn't/didn't know. "It is impossible for an author still writing to be fair to another author working along the same lines. At least I find it so. In fact I dislike Dune with some intensity, and in that unfortunate case it is much the best and fairest to another author to keep silent and refuse to comment." -Tolkien
My conservative ideals were fostered by this commune of hobbits who bring together other races to work together to defeat the evil of their world. Because I just didn't even think about that and I just assumed orcs were black people because I'm just racist
"in my area you have a choice between Lib Dems or Conservatives" That sentence sums up why our voting system is completely broken. We the people have very little say on who is really in power. Kind of funny how I'd consider myself much more right wing than you and yet I voted for Miliband in that election.
The worst people you know are also the first to say "DIE HARD IS A CHRISTMAS MOVIE LOLOLOL"
The morality of the story of the lord of the rings is indeed more black and white than nuanced. But as literature the books are indeed a masterpiece and incompatable to most of fantasy. The prose alone is majestic. And maybe the films are not the best films ever, but they are for sure one of the best film adaptations of legato ever made.
Of course at the same time that the Italian fascist were celebrating LOTR, the Counterculture movement of the 60s and 70s in the United States embraced it as well.
Its because they are idiots. Right wingers co-opt everything they can use to make them feel " in charge".
I was 10 when Fellowship hit theatres. Lotr is very nostalgic to me, and i still enjoy it immensely. However, the fascist/manichean worldview is infantile. Makes sense that people adopt a racist worldview from this Theres certainly more themes present in the novels, which can be read into the films, but yes, the films can be a little surface level. Still love them, but I understand being wary of folks who love the films in a certain way
Politics as fandoms was always incredibly foolish.
Omg this is such a shit take. I’m fairly liberal but the reason why so many on the right love lotr is because it’s one of the few movies their parents allowed them to watch a ton growing up, and let’s face it, it’s one of the best movies/trilogies that’s ever been made. Those two factors formed a super deep attachment for them (also speaking for myself even though I’m not conservative anymore). It’s in our bones and it’s good. Now I think loads of them have a retarded belief that Christian values or whatever bs is what made those movies good when really it’s the sets/sequences/world/soundtrack etc but ALSO my man you are way off calling LOTR’s morality simplistic or like childish or whatever. Just because there are clear moral lines doesn’t make something simplistic. AND as a dune lover myself, and I love the moral nuance in those, they’re still just not as good of stories and don’t have as many lovable characters as LOTR. Them’s the facts man, stop trying to blame everything on political stances, you’re stoking unnecessary fires

That game you're describing sounds like that Bright movie
Making your employees read Lord of the Rings should be considered some sort of labor violation.
Literally no one cares
To be honest an open world survival game where you play as a an Uruk trying to survive would be pretty cool lol. I also didnt know Tolkien supported Franco, that's interesting, but considering his views doesnt surprise me. I knew he was very definately Conservative. Subbed for learning something new, heh.
So, the problem here isn't that you're talking against a particular piece of art, it's that you're trying to police people's likes. "I don't think you should like this--if you do, then you're bad. And we're not friends anymore." Cool. You make some great points here about Tolkien. As you did with Taylor Swift. And Frank Herbert. And...who knows what else. But, I'm sorry, your opinions are not the best opinions. They're...opinions. And trying to fit everyone into a very small box of what can and can't be liked is rather self-glorifying, given that you're the one who's decided the size and shape of the box. I think I'm...yeah. I'm out. Loved your videos. Really have. But I also still love Lord of the Rings...so, I don't think we're friends anymore.
They selectively read it while missing most of the point. They ignore the main themes that industralism is the essence of evil and the meek are the real heroes.
As a woman in my 40s I’d like to thank the carnivore diet for making it so easy for me to filter prospective partners far more easily than previously.
As a kid I always liked the LotR series, but wasn't obsessed with it. Jurassic Park is still relatable and interesting to this day, because I watched it for the dinosaurs and stayed for the consequences of a man's hubris.
so they DON'T follow the teaching of christ like they so say, hellfire awaits them
I’ve seen those movies once and never again lol. I get the appeal, but the fact that it’s based on limited books from a dead author doesn’t really give it much material to be an extended franchise like Star Wars.
I miss when joe was cool with duncan trussel
Shame that my comments keep getting deleted in like 5 seconds after posting them.
LOTR simplistic view of good and evil is why i like ASOIAF
I think it's one thing to grow out of the edgy phase because people just get tired of it and move on....but MrBeast tries too damn hard to be 'safe' to the point it comes off as both laughable and patronizing. I know this is going to be the weirdest comparison but... MrBeast is just another Ryan's World but as an adult. It's manufactured content FOR RUclips vs being content ON RUclips if that makes sense. Also, why does he need a show? Most RUclips to traditional media projects fail because they actually cap what can be done independently of the creator and they have to follow the rules of the network or company, even with a higher budget. It feels like a waste of time. Edit: the house thing.....God, that feels so exploitive in hindsight. "Look, I helped this Black person who lives in less glamorous conditions than I do because as you all know, only I can provide for the unfortunate and there are no Black people well off in the middle class." I'm glad the dude explained the aftermath too. They didn't want him to invest. They wanted him to SPEND to show that he'd only get better shit DUE to MrBeast.
I love the writings of Tolkien simply because his Prose is very entertaining to read. Conservatards ruin everything 😫
I love these books, but they’re children’s books ffs. How can you make this stuff your entire personality? I see this in my friends who go and see the new Star Wars films and complain about them. They are for children! Not for you! Grow up. 😂
Your game idea wouldn't work as King Elessar's first decree as true Numenorian King of Gondor (after ofc dismantling any representational councils created during Gondor's Sterwardship and consolidating all power back into the Dunedain Line) would be to establish internment camps for the surviving refugee peoples of Mordor and Isengard (who's homelands have been completely destroyed) and begin the ethnic genocide of all Orc peoples. I would imagine there would be some friction between Gondor and Rohan as although they might initially be receptive to Gondor's Final Solution, given Rohirrim warrior culture they would likely descend into leading their own disorganized pogroms against the wicked and racially suspect Dunledin mountain men and any Urak Hai they might harbour. Naturally they would have a dim view of Gondor (who they saved at great cost on the Pelenor Fields) sticking it's nose in Edoras' business.
In high school (1968), my English teacher gave us extra credit for reading LOTR, which I took advantage of. My classmates and I learned the elvish language. We were huge fans of the whole thing. And as a hippie, Tom Bombadil was my favorite character. (Sadly, Jackson left that character out of his movies.) It was a battle of good over evil. Gollum was a particularly interesting character study of just how badly power can corrupt an individual, particularly a weak one like Smeagol. Sauron represented all the awful authoritarians who seek to throw the world into darkness, which, as a Democrat at the time, I took to represent many a Republican (still do). Thus, I confess to being surprised that these particular Republicans like it. Is it because they aspire to be the next Sauron? What am I missing?
its such false equivalence between a religious fascist and a leader of a colonial country that leads to the loss of reproductive rights for women and queer people. You a straight white man will be fine under the leadership of either of these men so you feel comfortable to say there is no difference between them because that is true for you.
While I do agree with you, the absolute irony of someone from England referring to the US as “the worst country ever” should not be ignored…
Like, gee, why is India such a fucking wreck? 😅
They love what they clearly don't understand or misinterpret based on their warped way of thinking.
I have always loved lotr because of the themes of comradery and solidarity in the worst of times and the inherent weakness of men towards the corrupting influence of power in the ring. I also see a lot of what I love in my home country in Latin America in the humility of the hobbits and the reverence with which the narrative treats nature. I always thought it was pretty deep in how it treats its characters, especially ones like Gollum. It’s so bizarre to me to see how these right wing morons take this thing and try appropriate it into something that validates their disgusting whitesupremacist worldview. I think Tolkien managed to touch on some things that were beyond what he could imagine that make the story appealing despite his conservatism. These right wingers really love to latch on to the most superficial elements of media that roughly correlate to what they like and ignore everything else and to me that really says something about how shallow their understanding of anything in the world around them is

I have been a subscriber for a long time now and i am very disappointed with this video. To me this sounded like a video made just in case the Stalinist Communist regime finds out years later when they commit their purges that Kavernacle might have liked LOTOR and wants to make sure he is on the record saying he doesnt want to associate with LOTOR people. But then realises he might have offended a large portion of his sane reasonable subscribers who love the story and gives a half arsed semi retraction about saying if you like Tolkien you are not my friend. Look, if i met you i wouldnt talk to you about LOTOR even if you didn't make this video so get over yourself.
Nice video! Speaking as a LOTR and Dune fan, I feel it’s possible to enjoy aspects of each. I’m trying to put it simply so I’ll try to put it in comic terms, it’s like comparing Superman to Dr. Manhattan. Both are interesting characters with two view points with something interesting to say. It’s sad that the far right weaponized LOTR because I feel that it’s an amazing story of perseverance and hope. Both the books and the movies show some of the best forms of non-toxic masculinity in media. Have you read The Silmarillion by any chance? I feel like you would enjoy it. It delves into more morally gray aspects of middle earth that I’d feel you would enjoy. The tale of Maeglin and the fall of Gondolin comes to mind. It’s not like Duncan politically positioning himself around a God Emperor sandworm, but I feel it’s a good story nonetheless.
I really enjoy more the LOTR movies, specially the twelve hours extended edition, it give more nuances to the factions, minus the Easterners sadly, because they appear of the middle of nowhere in the last battle, and a short comment from Faramir, but LORT put a lot of work of why the Orks joined Saruman and Sauron, and luckily they completely erase the lore of how the Orks are created, Rings of Powers really tries really hard to be nuances about the corruption of the elves, but never reach to the point that they want to make, but they half backed the arc of Halbrand, the character could have much more nuances, but as soon Galadriel found who he really was, his path of "redemprion" ended and turned into the bad guy, and the second season is double down about that, even that the writer own words, they wanted Halbrand be like Walter White, a "good guy" forced to become a very ruthless bad guy by circumstances, but it seems that was that was throw out of window.
Rings of Power S1 was overall good but I wish that the pacing was better. Been said before but I believe the mystery box format for story telling doesn’t fit that well in a middle earth setting. Season 2 looks promising though! Looking forward to it.
anarcho-capitalists in their new form, I've been looking at the link between crypto and the spread of far right propaganda, in particular towards conspiritualists, for years, a good example is the freedom convoy, a small group of fascists and white supremacists who were around for a good few years before Musk put the spotlight on them, it took 3 days till certain european yoga gurus were regurgitating the exact same propaganda as the far right in the US, translated to another language.
I’ll take MAGA media illiteracy for 500
I gotta disagree with you on one point as i get older and see like all th nihilism and just depressing state of the world i find myself more and more drawn to the simple morality stories i think the world needs more heroes who are just good for the sake of being good without feeling the need to be all edgy and morally grey
