Nicholas James Pell writes:

He also believes that dragons and dwarves are real, or at least will be made so after the final triumph of his utopia; his “Nazism” is more informed by Lord of the Rings than Mein Kampf. In other words, you’d do well to take everything he says with a giant, Costco-size grain of salt.

Think of him as a more restrained, Nordic version of Charles Manson. A strange man, with strange beliefs, some of which are rather insightful, if somewhat obvious, and should be thoughtfully reflected upon (spending too much money requires you to effectively mortgage your life to the market, so there’s a value in reducing your living standards and leading a simpler life), while others can easily be rejected out of hand (all the shit about orcs).

Be sure to read the whole thing for the punchline.
