(1) Not all art needs to be super deep with loads of hidden meanings.

I’d also say that by using an existing story as the framework the entire thing became better than anything he could have invented on his own. (/me points at the latest starwars trilogy as proof of that … )

(2) Why the heck has Tolkiens’ origin have to do with it ?
I guess it means you would have hated his story if he was born in China and had done the same amount of research for his stories?

(3) who’s gonna implement consumer protection ?
The governments across the world of course and folk thinking with their brains instead of buying the cheapest crap they can find on scammy websites.
It’s never going to perfect, but almost anything is better than nothing at all.
It’s been one of the few things the EU has been good for.
I can’t help you if you keep voting for lizards and believe random conspiracy theories that have no basis in reality though …

Temu is proof that existing consumer protection is not enough of a threat, which means we got to do our job and not offer them any money until they do what is right and proper. At the same time we need our governments to implement actual punishments for breaking such laws. Fines are not going to cut it if companies like Amazon can simply factor them into their profit margins.
