I’m sorry, I didn’t spell the name of your favorite genocide right, that means it didn’t happen!

Democracy was supposed to do that. What would prevent a communist state from being usurped by capitalist interests (since capitalists are the ones who pay their bills)?

The Holodemor alone killed almost as many people as the Holocaust, and that’s just one item in a very long list of communist “whoopsies”.

“Varying degrees of success” is a great euphemism for “more people killed than several holocausts”

True communism is very democratic

Literately Marx himself called for a “dictatorship of the proletariat”. Which would then somehow magically give way to a true democratic government, as if any dictator on earth had ever just resigned out of their own accord.

Inflation be like

What if its desire was to be so big that it can pick humans as if they were grains?

Sounds pretty dangerous, I can understand why they didn’t want to risk it.

Same here. I’ve really only ever heard three songs out of his top 10 singles but Uptown Girl, Piano Man, and We Didn’t Start the Fire I can definitely vibe with.

For the answer to that question, you need to read Interview with Sméagol: The Secret Account of the True Ringbearer and All the Things Nasty Hobbitses should Never Ever Ask, unfortunately Frodo threw that into Mount Doom along with the ring because it contained knowledge no mortal man should ever possess.

Well, it could also be that it only works differently on HIM

Well, then why not put that chicken on a cat, and the cat on a dog, and the dog on a donkey, and then ride all up into Mordor full Bremen Town Musicians style?

Better safe than sorry…

Yes, but without a control group we cannot really rule out whether this is race thing or a personality thing.

For instance, what effect would it have had on Boromir and Aragorn? How about Gimli? It’s possible it would have made both of the former stronger, for instance, and made Gimli incredibly rich, because that’s what their races desired. We don’t really know, do we?

It had the same effect on Bilbo and Gollum, though. The idea of its effects being dependent on race cannot be ruled out just yet.

Well, that’s just wearing it on a necklace with extra steps.

Perhaps he had a very long zoom lens

And then fuck it up, and blame the thresher
