It's also really rich for an Elf to go on about the sins other races committed in the past, considering Elves drove the Petty-dwarves to extinction by hunting them for sport. And unlike the humans, at least some of the Elves that did that are likely still alive at this point in the timeline. But then, I don't expect these writers to know anything about Middle Earth outside of the Wikipedia summary for the movie trilogies they read about.
Really, the Elves' entire First Age history after Morgoth swipes the Silmarils & helps Ungoliant destroy the Two Trees is nothing to be proud of. They (in particular the Sons of Fëanor and Maeglin) absolutely screw with each other almost as badly as Morgoth screws with them, none of the glorious victories they won early on nor the kingdoms they establish last, and in the end they can't even leave any trace of their glory except a few relics like the Elfstone of Gondolin, because they've been so thoroughly fucked by then that they need the Valar to step in to unfuck things - and they had to sink Beleriand in the process of defeating Morgoth.
Which makes it hilarious when the intro's got Galadriel dropping a very proud and literal 'We resisted' while talking about the Elven response to Morgoth's deeds in Valinor. Complete with the Oath of Fëanor and the Noldor sailing to Middle-earth being shown on screen. Like - would you care to elaborate on what that Oath entailed and its consequences over the next five or so centuries, Guyladriel? Or how the Noldor got all those ships in the first place?

Tears unnumbered ye shall shed; and the Valar will fence Valinor against you, and shut you out, so that not even the echo of your lamentation shall pass over the mountains. On the House of Fëanor the wrath of the Valar lieth from the West unto the uttermost East, and upon all that will follow them it shall be laid also. Their Oath shall drive them, and yet betray them, and ever snatch away the very treasures that they have sworn to pursue. To evil end shall all things turn that they begin well; and by treason of kin unto kin, and the fear of treason, shall this come to pass. The Dispossessed shall they be for ever. Ye have spilled the blood of your kindred unrighteously and have stained the land of Aman. For blood ye shall render blood, and beyond Aman ye shall dwell in Death's shadow. For though Eru appointed to you to die not in Eä, and no sickness may assail you, yet slain ye may be, and slain ye shall be: by weapon and by torment and by grief; and your houseless spirits shall come then to Mandos. There long shall ye abide and yearn for your bodies, and find little pity though all whom ye have slain should entreat for you. And those that endure in Middle-earth and come not to Mandos shall grow weary of the world as with a great burden, and shall wane, and become as shadows of regret before the younger race that cometh after. The Valar have spoken.
This looks retarded even for leftists. Surely this isn't saying what I think it's saying, right? The elf being the black guy in a room full of white people can't possibly be enough to signal his victimhood. They're a bunch of filthy, struggling peasants, and he's a well-dressed nature spirit strutting around their drinking shack like they owe him something for gracing them with his presence.
If he's really meant to represent righteousness or victimhood, then anyone who buys it is too far gone to be allowed a place in society as anything other than menial and closely-managed labor. You can't trust them to be anything more, they're wreckers by nature.

I'm reminded of the black millionaire who said that white homeless kids have 'privilege'.
Of course, a mulatto who wrings his ~ 30% black genes for all it's worth.

You're optimistic. I don't think many people even consider that, as opposed to accepting what was shown.
Oh good grief! I’m so glad I have my copy of the LOTR trilogy and the Hobbit. I’m so tired of these adaptations that despise the creator. I so hope this show is a massive failure
"The past is always here, whether you like it or not."
"Forget the past. Kill it if you have to."
PICK. FUCKING. ONE.
It's only a feature when you dominate the media and all apparatuses of censorship.
Because if they actually had to fight a battle of idea, it would be a crippling weakness.
Some animals are more equal than others.
Leftists contradict themselves all the time.
Because they don't want to be right, or wrong, they just want to win.
Oh yea, they are contradicting themselves
Alternate title: Amazon has an obvious Dragon Age fan on the writing staff of Rings of Power, as if it weren't bad enough already.
Caught that too. Pathetic.

In the twitter thread they say this is from The Witcher, not Kang of the Rangz
It's Negrolas here.
