nic carter(@nic_carter):You know how Tolkien wrote about living in the ruins of a fallen, greater civilization? You ever think as someone who lived through the horror of WWI and watched the industrialisation of the bucolic English countryside and witnessed the loss of Empire he meant it literally What would he make of Albion today? Surely, a race of lesser men compared to their forebears. Ambitionless, tyrannised by their perceived obligation to foreigners; building their hovels with stones ripped from Cathedrals built by greater men; producing nothing and subsisting on dividends from a prior civilization. Unable and unwilling to impose their will on the world. Whither the blood of Númenor?
