Nobody said the US doesn't have a class system? Also the person you're responding to appears to be a kiwi, not an American.
Non-Americans making fools out of themselves while trying to casually denigrate the US is one of my favorite internet traditions.

Thus, the hostility.
Pretty sure the person you're responding to is referring to Saruman infiltrating the Shire at the end of the series, not Gandalf.
That comment somehow manages to be more divisive than the Palestinian conflict. A truly remarkable sequence of specious assertions that is guaranteed to piss off vast swathes of the population. Almost brings a tear to my eye
Primitive metallurgy was used to create weapons for millennia before it became commonly used for cookware. Technology has always been primarily used as vector for human beings to control and dominate one another, rather than to assist/improve society.
