I’m torn. Both Galadriel and Sauron say the other is a threat to Middle-earth. One has to be wrong, so whom am I to trust? Should I trust the Dark Lord who attempted to topple the White City of Gondor, dominate all life, and attempt to stay in power for eternity? Or do I trust the Elf Queen representing the coalition of Men and Elves who defeated Sauron when he tried to enslave the Free Peoples… but could maybe do more meet-and-greets?

I’d really like it if midwest.social would defed from hexbear. It’s a nice instance, but the comment sections are often a disaster.

Yeah, I swear I just heard one of them say “Looks like Geek is back on the menu, boys!”

I didn’t even know orcs had restaurants? How do they know what a menu is?!

The dark lord has neither a healthy body nor a healthy mind. He’s spying on you all. With hiX all-seeing eye.

But as Elrond told a hobbit before:

Yet such is oft the course of deeds that move the wheels of the world, Small hands do them because they must, while the eyes of the great are elsewhere.’

I was under impression that Sauron was for order through subjugation, not chaos.

But in any case that would just make the allegory more fitting.

I don’t know that Sauron had an ideology per se, more just power for the sake of power. Which allegorically is pretty spot on I think.
