Sure, saruman raped someone and has literally been committing fraud his entire life, but gandalf rides horses.

What's up with that?

Horses have four legs. I only have two.

Horses are weird.

Do you have a more racist metaphor or are you just keeping it at dog whistles?

I also don't remember him eating lizard legs on a barbecue stick.

Weird that he committed neither of those sins within his literary journeys, right?

Strange to compare Biden, who is actively aiding in a genocide, to Gandalf, then, isn't it?

Not at all.

One emissary of a significant power refusing to directly intervene in, though indirectly aid, a specific power within an international war that they are not directly engaging with,

Indirectly aid? INDIRECTLY??

Aiding doesn't get more fucking direct than sending them the bombs, guidance systems and fuses they use to commit genocide with FFS!

Certainly gandalf takes a much more direct role by actively engaging the nazgul, goblins and balrog, but his role is deliberately indirect to the grand narrative.

Actually, in order to match what Biden is doing, Gandalf would have to be supplying the armies of Saruman and/or Sauron with a significant portion of their swords and siege weapons, all the while pretending to tell Sauron and Saruman to please don't kill so many people.

Simply by amount of arms, I like that, but it's dependent on gandalf and sauron having been friends for decades and coming to each other's military aid dozens of times over their relationship because they share a mutual interest in modes of government, and gandalf being the short-term inheritor of this extremely consistent lifetime mutual dependence and support.

The tower calls for aid, in cutting down the forest of fangor.

Asumimg Israel is Mordor and not the other way around

Well, of course 🤷

On top of the genocide on the border on of the US

Which he agreed, should be the most important issue of the day.
