I don't think you understand what meaning is.

Anything that anyone would consider his end goal has meaning. But you wonder if things have a meaning TO YOU or TO OTHER, not by themselves, because things are things, and meaning is their perceived utility to what would be the ultimate end goal of someone.

It's the same moronic thinking, when people wonder (do they really or are they just pretending to be retarded?) if goods have intrinsic value when value is very much in the same way a subjective human appreciation of the utility we can get out of goods.

I will concede that Tolkien's academic works advanced the appreciation of literature greatly, and that his books literally carved out and fleshed out the modern western fantasy setting .

BUT FUCK ME THE BOOKS ARE HOT GARBAGE

ANYONE WHO WRITES FORTY PAGES OF ELF SONGS JUST TO PAD OUT HIS BOOK LENGTH NEEDS TO BE HANGED

AND CREATING YOUR OWN LANGUAGE FOR YOUR MADE-UP FANTASY WORLD?

THAT AIN'T FUCKIN' "KEWL" OR "SMURT", THAT'S ABHORRENT.

HE DIDN'T NEED ACCLAIM, HE NEEDED PROFESSIONAL CARE

AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE MOUTH-BREATHING CAPE-SHITTING NERDY GEEKY DORKY WACKY EPIC BOZOS THAT NOT ONLY BUY EVERYTHING HOBBIT AND RING RELATED, BUT TREAT IT AS IF IT WERE THE GREATEST ACCOMPLISHMENT IN WRITTEN AND CINEMATIC HISTORY

THAT GOES QUADRUPLE FOR HARRY POTTER AND ANYONE WHO EVEN REMOTELY ENJOYS THAT CONTENT AFTER THE AGE OF TWELVE

EVERY SINGLE "TOLKIEN FAN" OR "POTTERMORE PAL" I HAVE EVER MET EITHER

A. BRAINLESSLY FLOATED ALONG EATING THIS CAKED POOP SO THAT THEIR 'FWIENDS' WOULD LIKE THEIR POSTS ON FACEBOOK

OR

B. FUCKING CRUSADED AGAINST ANYONE WHO DARE BLASPHEME HIS HIGHNESS JOHN RONALD OR HER MAJESTY JOANNE, THE LAST GREAT SAVIOURS OF THE PENNED PROSE

FUCK THOSE RETARDS

I HATE THE BOOKS, I HATE THE MOVIES, I HATE THE FANS, I HATE THE MARKETING OF THESE SHIT IDEAS, I HATE ALL OF IT.

AND MOST OF ALL, I HATE THAT THE ONE GOOD FANTASY SERIES THAT WOULD HAVE MADE FOR AN INCREDIBLE COMEDIC MOVIE SERIES GOT FUCKING SWEPT UNDER THE RUG AS SOON AS HARRY NUTSACK AND THE SHITDICKSS OF ASSCANCER PLOPPED INTO THE MAINSTREAM

LORD OF THE RINGS AND HARRY POTTER WERE A MISTAKE:

IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DISCWORLD

>Yes, since we're, uh, talking about Evola
Yes, Evola: the one who propounds ancient wisdom in a "Revolt Against the Modern World"

the only honorable way out for you is to admit defeat
