    That’s exactly what I’m saying, it’s not that it doesn’t tempt hobbits, it’s that the bar of desire for a hobbit is so very low that long term exposure is only going to make them kind of an asshole to have at parties as opposes to a political or existential threat. Sam’s temptation to build an army is just the amplified desire to protect those he loves.
