Sure, saruman raped someone and has literally been committing fraud his entire life, but gandalf rides horses.
What's up with that?
Horses have four legs. I only have two.
Horses are weird.
I don't remember galdalf aiding a genocide?
I also don't remember him eating lizard legs on a barbecue stick.
Weird that he committed neither of those sins within his literary journeys, right?
Strange to compare Biden, who is actively aiding in a genocide, to Gandalf, then, isn't it?
On top of the genocide on the border on of the US
Not at all.
One emissary of a significant power refusing to directly intervene in, though indirectly aid, a specific power within an international war that they are not directly engaging with,
compared to another emissary of a significant power refusing to directly intervene in, though indirectly aid, a specific power within an international war that they are not directly engaging with.
Indirectly aid? INDIRECTLY??
Aiding doesn't get more fucking direct than sending them the bombs, guidance systems and fuses they use to commit genocide with FFS!
Certainly gandalf takes a much more direct role by actively engaging the nazgul, goblins and balrog, but his role is deliberately indirect to the grand narrative.
Actually, in order to match what Biden is doing, Gandalf would have to be supplying the armies of Saruman and/or Sauron with a significant portion of their swords and siege weapons, all the while pretending to tell Sauron and Saruman to please don't kill so many people.
Asumimg Israel is Mordor and not the other way around
Well, of course 🤷
He did from the perspective of the Orcs
Do you have a more racist metaphor or are you just keeping it at dog whistles?
