Yeah it's the author pathologizing that the influence of LOTR is somehow a major factor, if a factor at all in influencing NATO/Ukranian military strategy with no real proof?
It looks more a leftist who is mad that their realist socialist fiction didn't become popular and influential and instead the "conservative" fantasy of good and evil somehow came to define Western Liberal thinking, nevermind the sheer diversity of works that do confront moral grayness, or that cultures outside of the West (including Russia) do very much enjoy Fantasy as well.

- red-iron-pine 2y agoRussian anti-NATO efforts know no bounds. that's not sarcasm, I mean that literally: they are pulling out all of the stops and abusing the hell out of GPT. Like, they used to have a 50 person team pushing JFK, Area 51, and Moon landing conspiracies, and that was in the 90s.
