      It is the opinion of the Supreme Court of Gondor that evil no longer exists and thus pursuing endless power over Men through the use of the Ring is permissable and unlikely to result in ruin or abuse of power. So sayeth we all.

      I think it’s a reference to the fact you got Americans defending a faction that started a civil war over the right to own other people.

        Got you. But I don’t think it’s a “reference to a fact that there are Americans.” Is that well worded? And after you pointed it out (thanks). Isn’t the meme referring to the destruction of Confederate monuments/stuff?

          My impression is that it was a reference to confederate statues/stuff being removed. I don’t think there are many non-Americans that really care about that topic which is why I specified.

            Yeah, I heard about it like a year ago or more, not now. Maybe they are at it again. But the first thing you think when you read the meme is the opposite of the title, you know, the people that scream and cry about everything, everywhere. You know, minorities. And they are not associated to the left. But idk, maybe I and decades of history around the world are wrong. Thanks for your feedback.
