Tolkien hated intentional allegory, but his books are full of accidental allegory. The man was so opinionated on so many things that he really couldn't help himself.

He was a shabbos goy, but I suppose it can be forgiven because he lived in turn of the 20th century UK where *everyone was* a shabbos goy. Though, to his full credit, he was an outspoken critic of the German genocide and thought it was the most barbaric thing the allies could have ever done. Most British people at the time can't claim that. At all.

If he were alive with the internet today I am of almost full certainty that he would be a noticer. He was an unabashed reactionary on the far right of the political spectrum in his day. Everything he wrote is brimming with "I despise democracy and the mixing of people and globalism", and he talked about these things fairly openly as well.

We also don't really know what his political opinions were later on in life, after ww2 and the lord of the rings, because he kind of stopped discussing it, but I've read reports that after he had died in the 70s and they were clearing out his estate, they found... well, essentially a bunch of 3rd positionist, far right, newspapers there. Unverifiable, but considering what we do know about his beliefs, jumping to the logical extreme and saying that he turned after ww2 isn't an unwise assumption

I mean, politically he was essentially an anglo saxon irredentist, absolute monarchist, traditionalist catholic, and strong regionalist who didn't even believe in the mixing of 2 ethnicities from the same race. His entire worldview was literally poison to the jews. Makes me understand why they're bastardizing his work today.
