LOTR. I don’t get how any entity would want to be whay Mordo represented, which to my limited understanding is an ackshual hellhole.
What gives?

I had not thought of Russia when I read that (a good while ago). Not even today’s Russia comes close.
I am interpreting Mordor as a fascist society. Power hungry leaders. Blind followers. Too many rules and commands. I can imagine some kinds of people enjoy that.
But everything you said about Mordor could apply to Russia.
Are you from there? Have you been there? Do you know people from there?
No, I’m from the Shire, and Mordor doesn’t exactly make conversation with us.
But I pay notice to the black smoke. To the Nazgul strikes and the fires of war. I can feel his dark eye watching us all from atop his wasteland tower, whispiering lies and doubt into innocent ears. I hear a poison tongue speaking wicked words into the ear of a decrepit leader, making him but a puppet. I see a war chief turn on his master in a bid for power, only to be cowed and granted a traitor’s reward.
I look to the east, and see Mordor.
A few of those people even had a huge party yesterday, or so I heard. Just not in Russia ;)
