So what is it with right leaning tech guys in defense going for LOTR?
Palantir, Anduril. Does PL work in Thiel’s orbit, maybe connected at FB?
Was Tolkien right leaning himself, I would be surprised by that but I honestly don’t know.

Yes, but the small-c conservative Catholic sort of right-wing. He would have hated reactionary modernists like Thiel.
So he would hate Thiel and Luckey for their technology and control, who is like Sauron and the Orcs. Maybe more on Luckey, since Virtual Reality would be a horror show from a traditionalist mind, anyway.
But it's fine, since the entire point of the Sagas for Anglo culture is for the people in it to twist it the way they want to, after all.
