    Really depends on what area. There are parts of Mexico where the native population was completely decimated, like the more northern parts, like Nuevo León. Many of the depopulations of native Indians in the southern parts of the modern area of USA also happened when they were part of the Spanish Empire, like the Guale, Timucua and Apalachee of Florida, or the people of New Mexico, and the various people of California.

    Tolkien supported the fascists in the Spanish civil war. He was also a member of the Catholic church so he probably supported the Catholic missions of the Spanish empire, which were basically concentration camps.

    He had his own crazy beliefs. We can’t know how he would react to this.

    FFS we need to stop idolizing media personalities anyone like this.










  • On the whole “issue caused by malign being” thing, I completely agree with you that they are similar to modern conspiracy theories. They are ways to create meaning in a chaotic world.

    On the “rock formation is a petrified giant” and similar stories, I think it’s humanity’s desire to always tell stories. In the specific case you linked, I think pattern recognition plays a role too. We see a human shaped rock and think it must be a petrified human. And then make up a story about.
