Yeah, but has he dealt with gestures wildly to everything? Didn’t think so. Tolkin’s father was a bank manager, he was well off. Who here can say the same?
World War 1 was a pretty shit time to be alive. Sure, his family had dosh, which probably protected him a bit.
… But when the world is going to shit (and it HAS gone to shit, many times before), it goes to shit universally.
After WW1 there was the Great Depression and a lot of people (including plenty of old money folks) lost their everything. – And right after that there were the Nazis. Y’know, the original Nazis, the ones that the current US government is trying to imitate. They seem to respawn whenever a capitalist nation is in crisis, I’m sure that’s just a coincidence.
Do not fall into the trap of “the good old days” because that is, ironically, how fascists get you. The past was awful, in different ways but awful.
