Nerd culture. Def not maga, more silicon valley and tech startup types.

I'm not so sure, JD Vance created a company called Narya after Gandalf's ring and Viggo Mortensen has more than once had to call out far-right groups trying to co-opt the fandom or litterature:

  • Narya was a Thiel investment vehicle; Vance is a Thiel employee.

    • > James J.D. Vance and Colin Greenspon have co-founded a new venture firm called Narya Capital and have already raised $93 million toward a target of $125 million.

      That's not employee status.
