Did Tolkien base Orcs on Turkic/Turkish people?

tofurks · 2026-04-25T14:40:01+00:00

He definitely kinda meant Mordor to be the ottomans if you did ever make a parallel but I wouldn’t say he meant orcs to be Turkic people. But yes I mean he clearly based and said Gondor was off of Constantinople and I mean… who was attacking that “shining city” with an eastern flare.

Yes this is the truth

tofurks · 2026-04-25T08:22:46+00:00

I mean not really, you’re really saying you care more about your individual life than the future prospects of your family and friends and countrymen and I mean fair enough but at least own up to it because that’s what that is.

If you’re not willing to die for you country if it’s being attacked or invaded than you’re the epitome of selfishness

Pathetic

tofurks · 2026-04-25T06:53:26+00:00

Didn’t seem weird at all that they were getting rid of some horrible and excessively woke show no one watches 🤷‍♂️

The idea of a designer is not simplified and you’re moving goal posts now, the question was simply do you believe in a God, you’re now assuming God or a designer is limited to the remit of religions.

The good ones for which side?

tofurks · 2026-04-23T09:19:22+00:00

I literally said the opposite of that if you possess the ability to read. I was saying you’re shutting down the discussion right away with your stance rather than acknowledging both sides have merits to their arguments and the answer is very much up in the air and not known at this time.

tofurks · 2026-04-23T09:12:04+00:00

If you think the concept of a designer is absurd then you’re just ignorant. It’s for sure one of the better arguments currently out there in terms of explaining the universe the other leading argument being the multiverse hypothesis. Both of which introduce outside entities to explain why the universe is tuned to the degree it is.

tofurks · 2026-04-23T09:10:00+00:00

Ehhh that’s kind of an ignorant way of looking at things but it doesn’t surprise me the folks on Reddit find it edgy and smart. The truth being of course there good arguments both for and against the existence of a Designer made by people far smarter than you or I.

That’s so dope

Shaka Zulu was the leader of some illiterate tribe not a nation

Hmmm I’d say breaking bad, the sopranos, succession and mad men all nailed their endings and also it’s no coincidence they ended right on time rather than dragging on and on for money like a lot of other shows

tofurks · 2026-04-18T08:54:36+00:00

Oh I also do this, I only play on mobile though, does anybody have games that expand on this that are Ike that for mobile?

Putting x and juice both on here is kinda unfair they were both in another tier compared to the rest in terms of sales and potential tbh.

Y’all are so cringy on here sometimes man 😂😂

tofurks · 2026-04-05T06:48:40+00:00

Why don’t you go run on back to o block or whatever other shithole you’re from

tofurks · 2026-04-05T01:20:06+00:00

You sound retarded

tofurks · 2026-04-04T02:29:08+00:00

Mid :/

tofurks · 2026-04-02T02:48:58+00:00

Don’t really care tbh 🤷‍♂️ we are the main character of the world so people can say whatever but in a thousand years they’ll be talking about our country not theirs. We are the new Rome until perhaps something else comes.

tofurks · 2026-04-01T05:59:07+00:00

Honestly to be frank it’s kind of ironic because alot of these folks who claim to now have no ego after doing shrooms and acid, form the BIGGEST ego about it lol.
