There has been a lot — a lot — of debate about H-1B Visas and bringing highly-skilled workers to the U.S. to work in tech jobs, mainly on the Right. It got messy-ish, but it looks like things (kinda) worked their way into a consensus.

But that didn’t put the debate to bed.

Usually we bring posts like this to light because they go viral, and this one did, clocking in with almost 2 million views so far, and it continues to add to the H-1B debate, although not in a good way:

This writer is a huge nerd and fan of Lord of the Rings, and this is — in a word — not accurate.

The post continues:

The Men of Dunharrow made an oath (contract) and breached that contract. The Curse of Isildur was a punitive measure that acted as partial remedy for breach.

Aragorn’s invocation of the oath and their final performance was a ‘specific performance’ that acted as a final remedy to resolve the breach.

Strict contract law and respect for contract is a hallmark of Anglo-Germanic traditions.

This story reflects our emphasis on the sanctity of promise, the moral imperative of honoring one’s word, and the pursuit of justice through remedies for broken agreements, not the moral goodness of hiring foreign labor.

Literal ghosts.

Please. We’re begging you, too.

Not the analogy. At all.

Please.

Game forfeited.

It really is a take.
