In The Lord of the Rings, J. R. R. Tolkien drew upon the language and themes found in the old Medieval hero-tales in order to construct a kind of new mythology. The brilliance of Tolkien was in his departure from the Pagan modes of conduct and morality of these old tales, his creation of a syncretistic fusion between Christian thought and Pagan language, and so his work achieved a deep resonance with all who read it.
We find this passage at the conclusion of The Return of the King:
>The Dark Lord was suddenly aware of him, and his Eye piercing all shadows looked across the plain to the door that he had made; and the magnitude of his own folly was revealed to him in a blinding flash, and all the devices of his enemies were at last laid bare.
Adversaries in the stories that Tolkien drew upon, Grendel, Mordred and the like, often served as obstacles that the heroes could overcome through feats of strength and cunning. Sauron is not like them. When Sauron is defeated, it is not because Aragorn is stronger than him or because Gandalf is wiser. They are not. It is only that his hubris was so great that it never occured to him that anyone would want to destroy the thing he held so dear. It is not until the final few seconds of his existence that he realises his mistake.
I think that I Am Jazz displays a similar moment. In the pictured scene, Jazz's journey to what he believes is womanhood is almost complete. He is resting after surgery, a triumphant smile on his face, his rotting groin held together by a labyrinthine patchwork of stitches and grafts. But as Eru Ilúvatar nudged Gollum over the Crack of Doom into the fires beneath, so too does the God of our world intervene in this.
>Pop!
In a second, the follies of men are undone and Jazz's crotch explodes, a meaty froth of blood and pus pouring out of the hole where his penis used to be.

You can see it on /r//conservative where they muse about putting gun turrets on the border to gun down people simply because they're different. Everything else is just an excuse, a veil. Do you think the Christchurch shooter was larping? Was that a joke? This is actually alarming to me, you people seem to unironically trying to argue he should get an extra term because he was investigated, like every other president before him. You people seriously underestimate what Trump and his cult are the most unhinged political movement in the western world. Shocked we don't see more internet cop drama here tbh. They're some of the most embarrassing people in the world. I'm only counting domestic ones, poorfags are always burning them. Almost like trade wars and instability can be negative to an economy.
Yeah, flying a baby Trump is on equal footing with: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_Crusade You didn't respond to me, so I figured I'd follow you around and get your hot takes on how these were defensive actions. Nah, the person I linked is actually pretty neutral and has a good enough understanding of the subjects to be worth a listen. Bald-faced lie, lying article dismissed, lying media Politico will never be trusted again. Sad! You actually made that quote up it looks like. What Trump said was: He actually said the storm had a 95% of impacting Alabama. Pressed by reporters about it on Wednesday, Trump insisted, at one point last week, there was a “95 percent” chance of Dorian impacting Alabama. But no part of Alabama was ever in the forecasts didn't. Maybe the rightoids can learn something from this. "This hurricane has a 95% chance to hit Alabama."
You should go read my post history. I am in multiple arguments with rightoids claiming nazis do not exist. Prove to me that Poe's law isn't effect for both Chans. This right here is denying they exist and implying it's all some big troll. Come at me again and I'll embarrass you with screenshots of rightoids literally saying nazism does not exist. Furthermore, when have I ever used those terms seriously? Go find a single example you ape. You want to make claims, support them. Common historical myth I believe, at least in the case of America: Alright, I'm done with this, you're clearly suffering from some form of learning disability and just can not process information.
A month ago I listened to a town hall where bishop told attendees that “the lord delivered Donald Trump to us. And it is our Christian duty to protect him.”
This is the insane religious extremism that is winning seats in our state. The might not be suicide bombing, but they’re happy to declare war. They disgust me.
I guess all those nazi insults, calls for revolution, #resist and general leftist assholery was just a misunderstood peaceful call for unity
The Nazi is immunized against all dangers: one may call him a scoundrel, fascist, racist, bigot, it all runs off him like water off a raincoat. But call him a Nazi and you will be astonished at how he recoils, how injured he is, how he suddenly shrinks back: “I’ve been found out.”
Not 100% sure yet, but i think interferring with the voting procedures. While half Democrats were at a 9/11 memorial the Repubs held a surprise vote to override the Dem Governor's Veto.
I didn't get to vote. I realized that the vote was coming up on Saturday, the day after early election closed, and was in a different state for work this week.
Trust me I beat myself up over it all day yesterday. Super sad over the results and wish I could have done my part. (Although slightly relieved it wasn't so close to the point where I would have felt even worse.)
While it's completely 100% my fault, I am super fucking pissed that there was NOTHING in my news feeds or anything that this was coming up until it was too late.
The Federalists were right, the Society of 1789 were right, people are too fucking stupid to be trusted with Democracy, and we need to restrict the vote to those who will use it reaponsibly.
the problem is that I trust rural states that have the majority power in Senate even less, they will restrict it to "true 'Mericans" which will be Ben Garrison and his fentanyl gang
Founding Fathers really fucked over the US by creating Senate, it doesn't give power to the elites as intended, ironically it gives the majority power to 15% of the poorest mayo trash in the nation
tbh the last election there WAS a fraud and an elaborate conspiracy by some politician there who was pathetic enough to do this sort of thing for a fucking house seat
like if you wanna cheat in an election, do it over something where you have actual power, like presidency or governorship, why the fuck would you cheat over this, unless you are high seniority status and happen to be the house leader you have zero power there, except voting in lockstep with your party and grandstanding in hearings
Another corrupt GOP zealot takes power, slowly freedom erodes and fascism rises. Welcome to the New America sponsored by Koch bros dark money and old people.To the downvoter: Enjoy the rotten world to come, you deserve it :-)
This is the delicious cope that keeps me on plebbit
The consulting firm that Dan Bishop hired were paying people gas money, a hotel room, and $25 an hour to door knock and get people out to the polls the weeks leading up to the election. It was a pretty easy $600 weekend and I got to see what Charlotte was like (it was boring).
but seriously who gives a fuck, it went for Trump by 12 points and they are rural trash anyway, they should chill the fuck out and keep the seething for later

NC is not a democracy. They have lost in court over:
racial voter suppression.
extreme gerrymandering.
attempting to remove power from the governorship after losing that election. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/north-carolinas-legislature-tried-strip-power-new-governor-will-states
The district in question was stolen via electoral fraud and this was the new election: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/9/10/20856987/daniel-bishop-north-carolina-special-election-donald-trump-suburbs
They pull shit like this: https://abc11.com/politics/nc-house-overrides-budget-veto-with-barely-half-of-its-members-voting/5531411/
The point is, the GOP in NC is the worst in the country and constantly involved in illegality and fraud.
