>Hobbits and the Hard Right: How Fantasy Inspires Italy’s Potential New Leader

>"“I think that Tolkien could say better than us what conservatives believe in,” said Ms. Meloni, 45. More than just her favorite book series, “The Lord of the Rings” was also a sacred text. “I don’t consider ‘The Lord of the Rings’ fantasy,” she said. Tolkien’s agrarian universe, full of virtuous good guys defending their idyllic, wooded kingdoms from hordes of dark and violent orcs, has for decades prompted scholarly, and convention center, debate over the author’s racial and ideological biases, his view of modernity and globalization. More recently, his works have also provided a fertile shire for nationalists who see themselves in his heroic archetypes."

>"In her early 20s, she surfaced in chat rooms under the nickname Khy-ri, calling herself the “little dragon of the Italian undernet.” More recently, she named her political conference Atreju, an Italian rendering of the name of the hero of “The NeverEnding Story,” best known as a 1980s cult film featuring a flying animatronic character that appeared to be half dragon, half Labrador retriever. As a government minister in 2008, Ms. Meloni posed for a magazine profile next to a statue of the wizard Gandalf. In 2019, she honored a manga character, Captain Harlock, the “space pirate,” as a “symbol of a generation that challenged the apathy and indifference of people.”"

How much Tolkien exactly did steal from the Finns and the Kalevala?

>Tolkien wrote that The Story of Kullervo was ‘the germ of my attempt to write legends of my own’, and was ‘a major matter in the legends of the First Age’; his Kullervo was the ancestor of Túrin Turambar, tragic incestuous hero of The Silmarillion. In addition to being a powerful story in its own right, The Story of Kullervo – published here for the first time with the author’s drafts, notes and lecture-essays on its source-work, The Kalevala, is a foundation stone in the structure of Tolkien’s invented world.

Verlyn Flieger, who wrote that above quotation, is the Professor in the Department of English at the University of Maryland.

Why does /lit/ say that the influence of Kalevala was rather minor, when university professors and academia say contrary things and tell us that the Finnish myths and national epics of Finland formed the very backbone of Tolkien's mythological world?

Who is right? Some neckbeards on 4chan or actual professors who study linguistics, mythology and literature?

Why did Tolkien steal from the Finns then? Old Fakey lacked the imagination to come up with something original?

>“It [discovering Finnish] was like discovering a wine-cellar filled with bottles of amazing wine of a kind and flavour never tasted before. It quite intoxicated me.”

>[The Kalevala was] “the original germ of the Silmarillion” (Letters, 87)

>Quenya is a constructed language created by Professor J. R. R. Tolkien. According to its creator, Quenya's main models were Latin, Finnish and Greek. It could perhaps be said that Finnish was the most important of these in the beginning, because it gave Tolkien the initial impulse to create Quenya. Finnish influence does indeed seem strong in the earliest forms of the language, at least in vocabulary, where many words are Finnish in style.

Why most people try to discredit the Finnish influence that Tolkien recreated with his Silmarillion/Lord of the Rings/World of Arda?

I see people here commenting absurd things like "Tolkien was channeling the Northern Spirit of European Folk-tales" etc, when it is clear that he is not talking about the Northern Spirit, but the Finnish spirit, the finnish landscapes and the finnish culture, heritage and language.

>But muh bible! Gandalf the white is Risen Jesus!
It is more than clear that Gandalf sole inspiration was the sage Väinämöinen.

>b-but muh Odin! The Grey Wanderer! He is Gandalf
It is clear that Odin shares little to none similarities with Gandalf. Perhaps the one Eye of Odin could be regarded as a reference to the one eye of Sauron

>B-but muh Merlin the Wizard! Surely he is the true inspiration of Gandalf
Absolutely not. Merlin resided in a tower, just like the corrupted wizard Saruman, whom Gandalf overthrows.

Numerous academic treatises have also been written how Silmarillion is basically just retelling of the forging of Sampo:

Ruling in the real world means finding difficult solutions to real-life problems, Tolkien and the Italian Right seem to still be operating in the medieval paradigm that Italy just needs a wise and good ruler for the country to prosper, but life doesn't work that way
Meloni was wise and good, so the land prospered...The End...with no specifics of how it happened

Italy was the country that, after World War II, had the most powerful Communist Party in Western Europe. The mass strikes and armed insurrections against fascist rule in cities from Naples to Rome, Turin and Milan were recalled for decades as great struggles of the workers movement. Yet with the FdI now in power, Mussolini’s legacy is firmly entrenched in the Italian political establishment.

This development is, moreover, not Italian but international. In France, neo-fascist candidate Marine Le Pen won 45 percent of the vote in this year’s presidential run-off against Emmanuel Macron; she is a possible winner in 2027. New far-right parties, like the Alternative for Germany (AfD) or Vox in Spain, have rapidly become central to the official promotion of militarism, inaction on COVID-19 and mass detention of migrants.

I have mixed feelings about Meloni. She is a bit too radical, but I like her as a person. Nice, strong, passionate, patriotic, potentially incorruptible. She has the right ideas in the right moment, but one point of her program that I really don't like is that she supports NATO. Neutrality in the Ukrainian "war" is essential to avoid larger conflicts. But apart from international business, Italy has everything to gain from her, after 10 years of instability, financial technocratic governments of pro-Europe masons, and especially the cesspit of Partito Democratico, the worst group of bastards in the world.

I will never taken Tolkienfags seriously knowing they come from the same yoke of youths who grew up watching Harry Potter and Pirates of the Caribbean. Attempting to read the books to try and explain their habitualisation is pathetic, especially when they seem to pick the politics of the book a la carte. Same as fucking Star Wars. These dipshits decide on who they don't like, and who they do like then apply their positions in the story respectively. identity politics at it's purest and most destructive.

Weird but unsurprising to try and assume my upbringing and ignore every single point I made about LotR's inherent apolitical gassing up of anyone looking for an imaginary cheerleader to their cause.

Ho, so now that we were caught with the pants down we are reframing the argument. No, let's go back to the "Neutrality in the Ukrainian war is essential to avoid larger conflicts" talking point. What that means is precisely that countries should bow down to Putin and do whatever he says otherwise a "larger conflict" ie nuclear armageddon is inevitable (apparently Putin is dumb and doesn't understand destroying humanity with nukes is not in the interests of Russia).

First of all, larger conflict does not mean "nuclear armageddon", it could simply mean that Putin sends military jets to Italy and bombs some specific targets, or other kinds of military action to punish Italy. (Inb4 "nobody cares about shitaly", you might want to read up on the fact that Italy is the first country in Europe for the amount and the power of weapons sent to Ukraine. No other country is showing such fury and obstinacy as Italy in supporting Ukraine). Second, neutrality does not mean that you must bow down to Putin, it literally just means neutrality. You do not participate in the business of war. Switzerland is neutral, but that doesn't mean its government doesn't formally condemn Russia. At the end of the day I simply think Putin is not the Devil and he will not wipe out Ukraine, he started the war for very different reasons. Hence, participating in it just means fanning the flames unnecessarily.
