Gay war. Nothing is happening. The Russians cucked out in the north and no we're just waiting for trans lives mattering.

That sounds unlikely as even the image they choose ignores the DPR and LPR. Probably also ignores trans lives mattering.

Russian plan is to take all the green regions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ukrainian_subdivisions_by_GDP_per_capita that also explains why Ukrainian fight so hard for Mariupol (most productive city) but almost didnโ€™t fought for Kherson

How do you keep up with their ever-evolving cope? I feel like the Russian plan changes faster than I can translate Incel Slava Z on telegram :mersya:

It was alway their second plan and those regions have majority Russian speakers and they voted for pro Russian presidents. They also hope that somehow Poland will take west Ukraine since even during Soviet time that region was troublesome and its ex polish territory. Basically their main plan was to change the government to pro Russian like in Belaruse, they failed at it and now their plan is to take the rich regions that are friendly towards Russia.

Plan A was to land ~7000 VDV in the airport north of Kiev, after capturing it with attack helicopters/paratroopers, and then replace the Kiev regime in the first 3 hours - which failed because the runways were too damaged to land transport with armor

Plan B was to enrcircle Kiev by day 3, and then bombard it until they surrender - this one failed because the Russian logistics was horrible and their Kiev army never received the fuel they were supposed to on day 2.

Plan C has been to withdraw from the areas they're getting bussy blasted in and endlessly cope while they figure out how to get the other 200k troops they need to accomplish anything worthwhile in Ukraine

The argument is that while it's possible to argue for some entity in Tolkien's cosmos to be known to be "transgender" due to a corruption of their nature, whether or not their "transgenderness" is inherently a quality of their nature or a corruption of their nature is inscrutable to all but the entity themselves and possibly Ilรบvatar, but that even if some other entity perceives it to be due to corruption, that per Ilรบvatar (or this narrator's representations of the words of Ilรบvatar, being the narration given by Pengolodh), that such is mere perception, and that ultimately all that which Men do translates to the completion and perfection of the work.

That Men (those of the race of Men) have a necessary inherent quality which redeems them and their actions, a part of their nature which they express (and which, in our parlance, no one can judge). Even the Creator refuses to condemn it - only celebrates it.

And IMNSHO Pengolodh (the narrator) is Tolkien's self-insert for the purpose of narration.

So "trans people don't exist / aren't valid" isn't an argument from axioms in the universe of Middle Earth. That's related to, but separate from, "here's a trans person in Middle Earth", which to my knowledge isn't in evidence. I want to be argued away from that / be proven wrong.


I wrote the analysis because using Tolkien's Middle Earth to say "Tolkien says trans rights" is using his cosmos as an allegory, which he alternately declaims and claims (the "it's not an allegory to WWII" claim and the "It's the story of Christianity in an alternate universe" claim - both detailed elsewhere). So it's a viable avenue of argumentation - if he's going to deconstruct and then orthogonalise the precepts of Christianity into an alternate history, then we can deconstruct and orthogonalise the precepts of that cosmogony back to ours.
