Yeah i have since looked it up and seems lotr does contain a quote that resembles this.
Its still nog very relevant. I’ve been thinking that way before i got access to the internet and saw those movies and the way the movie worded it doesnt properly fit my meaning.
I defo agree that the idea that power axiomatically corrupts doesn’t is much older than lotr. Tolkein was cribbing from the bible, perhaps unconsciously, because even for chill agnostic people like us, we were still raised in a media and political environment soaked in Christian thinking that defined the stories we’ve consumed and the ways we unconsciously see the world.
What does lotr have to do with any of this?
