User:DasRationalpersone/J. R. R. Tolkien

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was English linguist and academic, most known as author of Lord of the Rings series. He is, although he had some ridicolous religious views, one of the better things England produced, along with Joy Division, Beatles, Shakespeare, etc. He is the author of world's third most conservative languages.

Work
Ronnie created very extensive fictional world known as Middle Earth, studying of which by geeks makes them avoid getting laid longer, keeping world population lower and thus keeping Earth and its resources a bit more relieved, as well as multiple artificial languages he then inserted into his world.

Personal views
Tolkien opposed total war tactics, bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and other specific aspects of World War II (based on his World War I experiences). He also strongly opposed nazism, apartheid and communism. He was against industrialisation and its side effects - he was as well distanced from cars, preferring bike.

Tolkien was a devoted Roman Catholic. He was the lead factor of his friend's C. S. Lewis' conversion from atheism to christianity. Lewis joined Church of England, of whom Tolkien wasn't the biggest fan, however.

Tolkien's political views may be best described as conservative. He supported unconstitutional monarchy and some kinds of anarchy.

"Racist"
Tolkien was accused of being racist, because in his fictional world, people from south are evil. These accusations are bullshit, a mere crying of people who get offended by tinyest details that aren't even meant to offend them.
