Heading off to work, haven't read the article itself, but the headline and intro look amazing.

For Italy’s neo-fascist ruling party, J.R.R. Tolkien’s fantasy epic is a fitting symbol of their beliefs

Enjoy!

If your “fascist ruling party” hasn’t even managed to slow down the illegal immigrant invasion, then that party is either not fascist or not ruling.

"Fascist" Maloni even just announced they'll import MORE migrants.

4-500k non-Europeans as a start: https://archive.is/6Bbms

She's just another globalist fraud.

Yeah, she's bringing in "legal" migrants and getting rid of illegals.

"skilled migrant workers" has been a lie they've been telling us since 2015.

The Bank of Italy has also warned that a serious shortage of skilled workers, including in construction and IT, was threatening Italy’s ability to carry out its ambitious €200bn EU-funded post-pandemic recovery plan.

The Meloni government said the quotas were set after talks with employers and unions to assess the genuine needs of the economy.

This could mean one person from the Bank of Italy, and one person from each union said they need more immigrant workers.

Where's the actual data??

I'm leaning toward both. They're certainly not fascist, and pretty much every country seems to be beholden to at least one deep state.

The only reason I checked is because the media turned on a dime and went very soft on her as soon as she became PM and broke a lot of her promises.

It's weird, this February article was promoted on an article that was posted last week, which is why I didn't even think about it.

After things of powers failure, let the sour grapes flow. Tolkien's going to be hitlers right hand man by the time their done.

Always has been. Seriously you can find "journalists" and "scholars" pissing all over lotr from the time of its release and 95% of it boils down to Commie and/or globalist kvetching about how it doesn't push "the message."

I do have to give Meloni credit for running as a hardcore anti-immigration candidate and then letting in way more illegal immigrants.

Wait, I thought Tolkien was always woke? At least that’s what they said leading up to rings of power, but before that I do remember the racism attacks

Except for Christopher it seems. They always do this. I imagine when Netflix put out their butchering of Narnia the “C.S. Lewis was always woke” articles will start

Will they find the time in between flaying him as a misogynist over Susan's 'fridging' or whatever asinine way they'll phrase.

His family has one god, and money is its name. The one failing of Tolkien is his failure to teach his offspring true faith and religion.

I do not believe true faith and religion can really be taught. You can lead by example but they must grasp it on their own.

Exactly. I was using simplified language. Everyone's conversation with God is different.
