You’re ignoring a whole lot of what the book said and pretending that the few parts you’re quoting do anything to support your inane assertion, if you had any self awareness or dignity you’d be dying of embarrassment. I don’t base my politics on fiction, it’s extremely simple and makes a shitload of sense if you’re being honest.
We were talking about the fights Gandalf was in and how many he killed. I was referencing the fights in the book, you know, the source material, and how may he killed. How is quoting sources ‘embarrassing’? If you disagree, then perhaps post references from the book proving your assertions, instead of doing an ad hominem?
And I dunno, the Vimes Boots Economic Theory works just as well in the real world as on the Disc as far as I’ve seen.
Just because someone dresses up political commentary with wizards and witches and the Night Watch doesn’t mean the policies they’re expounding on are any less valid. Sometimes is all escapism, yes. But sometimes it’s actual political points looked at from a different perspective, like how Star Trek took on issues of the day by disguising it as ‘visiting those crazy aliens’.
I would just like to point out that ignoring evidence and stating ‘I’m right’, without showing any supporting evidence, is no better than ‘basing politics on fiction’. Just because the ‘I’m right’ vibes are in your head doesn’t make them any less of a fantasy.

I’m right, cry about it

I’ve presented better evidence than you and you know it
If you have, I don’t see it.
No shit Sherlock, what you see is apparently a war story protagonist who somehow gets zero kills, fucking moron
