I reread the Hobbit and I need to rant because the antisemitic undertones are so obvious to me and the story is falls apart if you don’t agree with it. I can’t deal with posts saying Tolkien hated the rich just because he made his Dwarves a representation of greed when the end has Bilbo going home richer than before. How is this anti-rich? I wish ppl would challenge this more because ppl use Jews to make some anti-greed message all the time and everyone praises it while rich gentiles are fine.

You know, you’re not the first person who’s said this. Like them, you are not wrong.
