@chaosprime it is if we're explicitly talking about the author's intentions@ladygolem -
@endlesstunnels you're literally the only one doing that. the rest of us are talking about his text.@ladygolem -
@endlesstunnels (detagging @ladygolem) this asserts that he *did* write a book encoding that allegory, not that he *intended* to. text. -
@chaosprime it asserts he was a patronizing ally (when that was the only kind of ally the persecuted european jews could hope for). author. -
@endlesstunnels right. so yes, that other thread, separate from this thread about the semantics of LotR, discusses the author. -
@endlesstunnels caring nothing for his intentions. nobody cares whether somebody *intended* to patronize. -
