Sauron might win, don't want to risk being on the wrong side of the post-apocalypse

Just because you're on Sauron's side when it wins, doesn't mean you'll be on Sauron's side at any other point in the future.

One of the things I find interesting about classifying literally any kind of trait within bounds of 'normality', and the culling / suppressing / discouragement of anything outside of that definition, is that there will just be new 'edges', and in short order these edges will be 'other', suddenly outside the definition because times are bad and it has to be someone's fault.

And so an ad infinitum until the single supreme ruler is the one entity representative of normal, atop a mountain of dead abominations.
