But just think of the economic growth under him.

"Those damn hobbits, trying to illegally cross the border into Mordor! Sauron has the right to self defense!"

He and Saruman literally industrialized their regions of the world. If that isn't progress, what is?!?!?!?!?

Whatever you might think of Sauron, he knows how to run a business.

Talk about a marketing department.

Well yeah except a bunch of woke organic hippy farmers cancelled Sauron who were all bankrolled by Gandalf Soros as part of an astroturfed scheme to make it look like Sauron was some evil dictator when really it is the woke mob ruining middle earth.

Lol it’s crazy that people think Sauron actually did Helm’s Deep

[–] genfood@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well I thought he is not able to run a business.

Not in the State of New York.

Oh, wait...

[–] rikudou@lemmings.world 4 points 1 year ago

Does he? He failed like 4 or 5 times.

[–] fluxion@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

At least he was a competent dark lord.

When the literal creators of the world intervene to stop you, I'd say your competence level is pretty high.

On the other side a Hobbit, one of the most inconspicuous creatures, brought your whole empire to a fall.

The sword of Damocles hung only by a single hair.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Well the tensile strength of that hair was obviously amazing. Or the sword was deceptively light. Or it took place on the moon or Mars where gravity's weaker 🤷
