Make no mistake maga is "unleashing the orcs"
As usual, John Doyle was right when he correctly labels people like this as Denethor.
With the orcs at the gate, and almost all hope lost, Denethor gave up. He was the original "blackpiller". He was so blackpilled he seemingly wanted Minas Tirith to fall, because then he would be vindicated in his blackpilled attitude.
Don't blackpill. Don't be Denethor. Hope hasn't been lost yet.
