Broke a damn and flooded and drowned hundreds.
Made a recreational sport out of slaughtering as many Orcs as possible
“Millenia pass, but orc slaying remains a unending pleasure”
Killed an endangered species as part of their blood sport.
That was arguably a separate faction, although the fellowship did do their best to inspire them to acts of war.

well now I know what I’m doing tonight
drove a balrog out of its natural habitat
Akshully, they tried to keep it there. Imprisoned because of its religious beliefs! Killed while attempting escape!
Just like Nazist did…
Disturbers of the peace.
The CIA couldn’t have done it better themselves.
are you talking about committing the deeds listed or writing this hit piece
I meant committing the deeds but, now that you mention it, both.
So it’s the CIA who made the gollum sexy? As propaganda? I knew it!
That one is on you.
History is written by the victors.
Yes, this is the difference between terrorists and freedom fighters.
They didn’t kill the balrog. Gandalf merely defeated its physical form, but Durin’s Bane is a Maia, an immortal, spiritual being.
Yeah so what’s it doing now, no body, bit annoying?
I mean Sauron had his physical form destroyed but still managed to be more than a bit of an annoyance I’d say.
Just wondering what they’re up to.
Just a wee bit more than an annoyance. An inconvenience, perhaps?
I’d argue the Balrog was more Durin’s people’s doing. Fellowship pretty much just wandered into a clusterfuck already in progress there.
Don’t forget that the GDP was on an upword trend with Mordor unemployment at near 0 levels. These jobs were never replaced, and won’t unless we can get some government financing back to ShiningSauron, inc. (IPO coming 4th Age)
smth smth “one person’s terrorist” smth smth
“Terrorism is the war of the poor and powerless. War is the terrorism of the rich and powerful.”
War is the terrorism of the rich and powerful
I thought it was the police
the police are one of the tools the rich wield
Their music is not everyones taste but come on now :)
No, that’s the militia of the rich and powerful.
Like a right wing spin on proles trying to live unenslaved lives.
The problem with “The Empire did nothing wrong” contrarian gags is that actual fascists fucking love it.
The list of bullet points sound like they’re describing some nations I know of.
you might enjoy The Last Ringbearer by Kirill Yeskov.
having noticed what sub I’m in, y’all probably already know about it.
Damn, I came to post this. Fun thought experiment of a book, and the ebook is (by necessity) free!
