Reposted by Occam’s SpoonDr. Samantha Hancox-Li @sjshancoxli.liberalcurrents.com · 08/09/2026i think conceding the idea that militancy per se is "fascist" is conceding the fascist worldview entirely, because the fascist worldview is that freedom and equality and friendship are luxuries which can only be paid for by "strong men doing strong man things" 364979
Occam’s Spoon @occamsspoon.bsky.social · 08/09/2026So the drone pilot wouldn't have pushed the button but everyone required to carry out these missions still has to, right? Somebody's got to reload the guns, refuel the drone, plan the missions etc. Unless you think he can magic a weapon system into existence that doesn't require people at all. 110

![He [Tolkein] commented this in 1972, fifteen months before his death:
"I have written nothing beyond the first few years of the Fourth Age. (Except the beginning of a tale supposed to refer to the end of the reign of Eldaron about 100 years after the death of Aragorn.
Then I of course discovered that the King's Peace would contain no tales worth recounting; and his wars would have little interest after the overthrow of Sauron; but that almost certainly a restlessness would appear about then, owing to the (it seems) inevitable boredom of Men with the good: there would be secret societies practising dark cults, and 'orc-cults' among adolescents.) "
