I was interviewed for this article in Wired about how the far right is using and abusing LOTR in their social posts to gain support for their bullshit:
Musk and the DHS have used “The Lord of the Rings” references to push anti-immigration messaging, seemingly positioning themselves as underdogs to justify oppression. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...
