Why did men desire power above all else?

why did men desire power above all else?

(((humans)))

Survival instinct

>holy shit dying fucking sucks i don't want to die
>lemme just hold that power ring

They were white males, duh

If you were a man, you would know.

It's exhausting getting fucked in the ass every age.

They didn't, they feared death and Sauron offered them immortality.

Because life is short and humans want to have a good time. Besides, it's in our nature to gather and fuck bitches.

They didn't want to die.

they needed power for their internet porn. electrical power

They desired sound economic policies above all else.

This

The narration was by Galadriel, an (((Elf))) with a clear agenda against human kind, who turns Frodo against Boromir. Can we really trust what she says?

they were easier to corrupt, men are similar to melkor

What elae would a bunch of cis males want except white power?

This is extremely PROBLEMATIC!
Why werent the nine kings more diversly represented?

Not just power
UNLIMITED POWER

>Be men
>Live in a world inhabited by gods, demigods, dwarves who live for hundreds of years, elves who live forever, and are superior to you by every important metric.
>Evil God has armies of orcs, goblins, trolls, and unspeakable horrors, who want nothing more than to kill and subjugate you.
>Support from races who don't want to kill you, elves and dwarves, is shaky at best
>Even other men: ruffians, southrons and easterlings occasionally try and fuck up your shit.

If I lived in such a world, I'd try and gain whatever measure of power and control over it that I could, because if I didn't then someone else, probably someone who doesn't have my best interests in mind, would.

>It is long since we had any hope…My father looks to me to make things right, and I would do it. I would see the glory of Gondor restored.”

Because they were white.

>If I lived in such a world
I have news for you...

glad at least some people here get it

to punch shit, have you never looked a tree or a parking garage and wished you could punch a hole in it?

>tfw no rural hobbit paradise culture
why even live

The first 30 minutes of fellowship make me cry every fucking time

>Why werent the nine kings more diversly represented
i know you're memeing but it would actually make a lot of sense for sauron to recruit great men from all the different races of men not just numenorians.

Its perfectly logical that there are amongst the 9 - great kings from harad/dunlendings/easterlings/black numenorians

Numenoreans are much more powerful

Sauron wouldn't have been able to find 9 powerful beings and entrap them. Most likely witch king was the only numenorian

Because they realized that it was the only thing in their world that was truly worth having.
