So this is why all need to bend for the dark one ane don't give any chance to retreat and correct the path.
I mean if you could show me a material difrence in conditions that one has provided the other has not please do, but like, both of them to use your terms are "dark lords" that we are forced to bend the knee too, both parties are essentialy the same, and studies show no matter what we do it has statisticaly no effect on what happens. so please show me what option is the undo and chose the correct path option
In all tales of Middle-earth, the shadow of Mordor looms, for in the hearts of all beings lies the potential for both great good and great evil.
To deem one faction as less malevolent than the other is to tread the perilous paths of Moria, for both hold the capacity for nobility and vice.
The lesser evil, then, is not a constant star but a ship navigating the shifting seas of circumstance and deed.In the chronicles of Middle-earth, the true measure of valor lies not in the banner one bears but in the choices made in the shadow of the great mountain.
It is the courage to resist the lure of the One Ring, the wisdom to forge alliances amidst strife, and the heart to defend the light against the encroaching dark that truly defines the lesser of two evils.
The lore of Middle-earth imparts a stern lesson: inaction is the ally of darkness. To stand by, to claim neutrality when the forces of good and evil muster their strength, is to forsake the very lands one might wish to preserve. It is to let the Shire fall prey to the Scouring, without ever lifting a sword or bending a bow in its defense.
Thus, to abstain from choosing is akin to allowing the Shadow to grow, unchallenged and unchecked, for in the words of Elrond, "If we fail, then the Enemy will control all things."
I'm not trying to update your views on anything as is clear you made up your mind but think of that phrase and come to your own findings.
I have neither claimed nutrality nor have I absaned from chosing, I am merely saying that from where I sit the only material difrence that I see between them is retoric, and maybe 2 years. Biden has done very little to undo anything trump has done and in some cases spead it up. We do not really have a choice all we have is the illusion of a choice
