If videos such as these have any utility beyond analysis of a possible metaphor, what is the harm? If eyes are opened to the possibility of what we speculate as "deep state," isn't it therefore beneficial in some small way? Those bookworms that have enjoyed Tolkien only on a superficial level might ascend beyond the fictional world of figurine collecting LARPers and find that the nature of the world is worthy of question.
You may be missing the overall point, but I also find videos like these worth an eye roll.
Even if I open my mind to things that seem silly, there are some things that are a bit of a stretch.

I don't think it's harmful necessarily, just silly and a bit unlikely but I can't discount anything like that at this point
