I’m coming to understand evil as a product of complacent, jealous, and comically inadequate people’s attempts to make themselves feel important. MAGA stays at the front of my thoughts as I read this historical account of the Nazi management of power. At the current time, we are in no way immune from the evil that the third reich embodied. It lives through powerful people’s acts and our acceptance of them.

Honestly it’s a been fun! Tolkien requires that you maintain an active imagination throughout. Much of the world building is tiresome, but it also creates a deeper sense of realness and familiarity.
