Can we admit that GoT has been a net bad influence overall. Normies flock to it and sperg out over it. Book series is good, but overblown.
Why has it become such a phenomenon to the point where parents will curse their children with a name like Khaleesi?

Who fucking cares, if they didn't name their shitty kid after some shit in a good story they would have named it after some shit in a lesser story. World was shit before, is still shit. Keep this shit on your blog.

>>84597741
if the kid was really 8 years old, that means they named their kid "khalessi" two years before the first episode even aired on HBO, which means they were fans of the books before they got famous, which makes it a lot less embarassing

>Augustus was shit?

Yes, he was completely obsessed with the apotheosis of himself and his father, and he enshrined Caesar's unconstitutional dictatorship in new laws that forever destroyed the complicated political checks and balances that had enabled Rome to become so magnificent.

He was a king who pretended not to be a king, and while he definitely brought about some great things (especially an official police and fire service for the city of Rome), he put the republic on the inexorable path toward ruin with the changes he made to the systems of governance.

For a man who was so obsessed with his own legacy, he was incredibly short-sighted and succumbed to his thirst for power at every turn.

Poor decisions, which he seemed to make many, doesn't make someone a poor leader.
Hitler and Churchill are both objectively good leaders while hitters choices led the country to ruin while Churchill seemed to make better choices.
Makes you think though, are all republics doomed to turn into autocratic states? Or a benevolent dictatorship? All of the republics seem to be heading in this direction, perhaps due to the lack of a strong recognizable leader.

>Poor decisions, which he seemed to make many, doesn't make someone a poor leader.

I disagree wholeheartedly.

While charisma is of course a part of leadership, the other parts are people management and decision making. If you can't make intelligent decisions, the best you can ever hope for is a 6.7/10 in my book.

To use your example of Hitler; his choices led his people to ruin, and as far as I care to judge, that means he does not qualify as an objectively good leader, but rather as an objectively bad one. He may have been charming, he may have been popular, but he was prone to vast hubris, never paid heed to any advice, and threw away all of his early success of dragging Germany out of the economic gutter in the name of nothing but empty ideology.

>All of the republics seem to be heading in this direction, perhaps due to the lack of a strong recognizable leader.

I think you're probably right about that. The USA, being the prime example, has spent the last fifteen or twenty years quietly amending its laws to put more and more power into the hands of the POTUS, and I think at least part of that change is driven by frustration at the glacial pace at which change is made under a democratic system. The senators and the congressmen are tired of being stymied by endless layers of bureaucracy, litigation and lobbying, so they try and divert decision-making towards the executive office in the hopes that someone competent will take the reigns.

The eternal problem that arises with autocracy is that the kinds of people that seek autocratic power are exactly the kinds of people that you never want to allow to wield it. Hence, Trump.

>>84599106
Good points all around anon, I think though there is a fine line when it comes to good decisions and leadership. Leadership is a lot about making those good decisions, but an administrator who makes good choices, but has no moral fibre or charisma isn't a good leader either.
I don't necessarily agree or disagree with Trump. I just hope he does a good job, and I hope Americans support him despite personal opinions.
Democracy as a system is too labor intensive in a lot of people's minds.
A monarchy can be an excellent form of government when done right. People want someone to unify them culturally and someone wholl make good decisions and a good monarch is raised from birth to be a good leader.
Perhaps a monarchy with a good chunk of power and a parliament for administrative duties.
Who knows, just shit posting

Well, given the amount of money that the boomers have sequestered away, and given that they had a negative or neutral birth rate in the western world, there's a pretty good chance that as they start to die off, we'll start to see a consolidation of that wealth into dynastic lines, especially in the form of property. Inherited property is still kind of difficult for the state to tax in an effective way, so we may well see the emergence of a millennial aristocracy who start getting monarchical ideas about themselves.

The Greeks always insisted that governments went by cycles, pic related, so we may well live to see kings and queens ruling again in the western world.

The Japanese still have a monarch, he just quiet literally has no power as constitutionally mandated. Still, you'd be surprised at the influence he has.
I think though that dynastic lines have been in control of the money for many years now, and many people are resentful of this. We'd more likely see a dynasty of people who start out democratically elected but the people prefer the idea of just them as the leader. People don't trust/want monarchy based on wealth, people want a good leader, someone who unites rather than a filthy politician. This is why Trump was able to rise as he did, as well as Sanders, while the latter was screwed over by his own party.
People want no nonsense, a uniter, someone powerful and impressive.

I don't think anyone can deny the show was almost perfect until the Red Wedding. As soon as the realistic war narrative was dropped then it turned to shit. They should have dropped all the stupid walker and fantasy shit and just focussed on the north vs midlands.

As soon as they started focussing on muh Khaleesi and The Wall then it simply stopped being worth watching. You can state that it wouldnt at all be the same story then, but you could have had the fantasy shit as a background narrative with the show focussing on the war and the politics behind it. More small scale alleyway-ambushes like with Ned would have brought the budget down while also keeping it exciting.

Instead we get 3 million dollar battles about dragons fighting slavers... Ok.
>>
>>84600206
Its the issue with a lot of mainstream movies and TV shows. What made it good in part was the knowledge that anyone can die any moment in the cruel world. So watching big CGI battles with muh strong woman Khaleesi has no tension cause you know she's going to survive. Bringing snow back was the most balless, weak move as well. There's no tension any more because anybody who is killed can magically come back.

The first season was good and was sold as a show for people with intelligence. It became popular and normies flocked to it because they don't want to seem unintelligent.
