    Was Gollum willing to kill people for the ring? Yes.
    Was Gollum completely obsessive about a ring? Also yes.
    Would I want to be trapped in a room with Gollum and not Andrew Tate? Yes.

    Him, his brother, Canadian benzo king, that uppity African-American with several baby mommas, orange deity, Yaxley-Fucking-Lennon et al. almost make me want to be anti cis white male… but then I realise that would make me more, not less, like them.

    Kids, if you’re reading this, trust me when I say that if these guys are your heroes then you’ve fucked up already - but it’s never too late to save yourself. Good luck.

    There’s probably some nice people who look like that, too, so I prefer to attack his ugly as fuck character and soul.

    Why resort to criticizing their looks, when they’re sooo much uglier inside?

      It’s fair to attack someone’s looks when it is a point of pride they assert themselves. He obviously thinks he’s some kind of hotshot macho man, so kicking him when he’s down is fine given the crimes he’s committed and how generally awful he is. It is not the same as making fun of a random person’s appearance for no reason.

              Unfortunately it wouldn’t be fair to call him a fucker now. The only thing he’s fucking these days is a rolled up pillow. It’s disrespectful to the true fuckers of the world. He gets an *

        Doesn’t really matter if it’s fair. It’s not right. And your eagerness to jump to it, once you feel justified to do so, says a lot about your own character.

        I mean, let’s try it based on the gut check, based on a fictional billionaire.

      The Tate brothers, and some of the women working for them, previously told investigators that the allegations are the result of jealousy.

    Flows nicely, but it’s an inaccurate collage of plot elements.

    • Isildur lost the ring in a river.
    • Déagol found the ring in a river.
    • Sméagol killed Déagol for the ring.
    • Sméagol (now Gollum) lost the ring in a cave.
    • Bilbo, Frodo, Sam, Frodo, Gollum, 🌋?

      So one thing I don’t get… Hobbits are supposed to be like a nice race, not easily corruptible, all they want is food and peace. A hobbit would be the best race to trust with the one ring. Bilbo had it for like 80+ years and gave it away, Frodo threw it away and ignored it for like 18 years, Sam didn’t give a shit about it… So why did it corrupt Sméagol so? He was a hobbit too.

    He should use that picture in his “BRUV” party campaign for UK Prime Minister (which is totally not just about attracting money from Elon Musk).

      he lost it at an underground lake, where bilbo found it. gollum found the ring in a river, or rather, his friend found it in a river, and then gollum killed him and took it from him.

        Oh, ok. I was picturing a cave but I guess it was an underground lake. I understood the reference either way
