As MSNBC host Rachel Maddow fretted about Sen. JD Vance being former President Trump’s choice for vice president, she complained about how “Lord of the Rings” is loved by the far-right.
“Lord of the Rings is a sort of favorite cosmos for naming things and cultural references for a lot of far-right and alt-right figures, both in Europe and the United States. Peter Thiel names all these things after Tolkien figures in places like his company Palantir, for example,” Maddow said.
While the MSNBC host appeared to try to draw a parallel between Narya, the venture capital firm, and “Aryan” an archaic term that has been associated with far-right racial ideology, Narya is named after Vance took the center stage at the Republican National Convention on Wednesday where he spoke extensively about his humble origins in Ohio and his rise to become a public figure in American politics.
