This is quite a take.
Lotr is explicitly against industrial capitalism and to deny this is to deny the text and everything that fed into it.
Yes, Tolkien was not a socialist and was instead a conservative but he despised industrial capitalism

The ‘brooding romantic hero’ myth has a lot to answer for and has to be traced back atleast as far as the misrepresentation of Heathcliff as a romantic lead in film and television adaptations of Brontë’s complex tale of generational trauma, class and racism.
One of the things about criticising games like Disco Elysium and trying to be clear I'm not saying it's bad or people are bad for liking it is, I think you could absolutely make a Papers Please style spoof of DE called "You Can Fix Him" that would at least have a shot at unironic popularity.
