...how fucking blank can a character be? i get it, she's supposed to be an idealistic naive ruler but G.R.R's attempt at shoehorning post-modern ideals into a clearly not post-modern time setting isn't the least bit subtle, nor believable...
i keep remembering the scene when Tyrion tries to convince Daenerys that there are ''other ways of electing a ruler'' and people on social networks going ''OMG did Tyrion just low-key try to implement democracy???''.....
Isn't she supposed to be 13 when she gets fucked by Aquachad

Christopher Fisher
i get what you're saying but that wasn't my point. Honestly i don't think the ruling class would give a flying shit in the setting they're in... Slavery only started being frowned upon when it stopped being less profitable than having free educated people, i'm just pointing out how out of place that is

Slavery still had plenty of educated people against it in its heyday, there just wasn't enough of them in power (until there were enough). Most people of course fell in the "Well heyyy slavery ain't great but the 'conomy man, stability! We can't get rid of slavery just yet - unfortunately" camp
Michael Miller
I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want to be a slave. I guess you're right that the ruling class wouldn't give a shit. But like, you probably wouldn't be the ruling class getting to lord over the peasants.

I expect her to go crazy at the end of the show which was already implied when she burned those two Lannisters. Then she will be betrayed by Tyrion who won't allow her to execute Jamie. Snow will either become the ruler or kill both her and himself due to some incest Targaryen once he finds out. I swear if they go for some sort of "yass queen slay" ending I'll be fucking mad.
Ethan Ross
>But like, you probably wouldn't be the ruling class getting to lord over the peasants. well first off in the context of this conversation she was.

Christopher Cook
GoT is very unsubtle liberal propaganda dreck written by a very openly liberal hack. He won the popularity lottery like JK Rowling did (another extremely liberal writer) - there's nothing about their writing that is particularly good, insightful or original, they just struck viral success.
Of course, the fact that almost every kind of media/fiction that does get popular is plainly espousing liberal ideals could indicate one of a number of things: -that it's not a grassroots kind of popularity and instead the media elites can generate popularity through careful manipulation of what the masses see and how they see it/how it's marketed -that the vast majority of people creating this stuff are also liberals themselves (and if the elites who control who can get to their positions are liberal this works in their favour) -that the masses themselves are biased towards liberal ideals and hence gravitate towards media/fiction that conforms to their beliefs (less likely since we know about 50/50 of any populace aren't typical 'liberals' and there are tons of fictions that espouse the same beliefs, so we're back to square one of wondering why some get popular and others don't)
tl;dr The masses see what the elites want them to see
Agree. I guess people that misunderstood J Peterson, think everything "progressist" is posmodern
Jose Murphy

Jose Stewart
If I remember correctly she was way different in the books. She still had those traits but was a terrible ruler not some sort of "YAS QQWEEN" icon.
I thought she was GRRMs take on modern liberal values in medieval times, they just wouldn't work, especially when they are being enforced by a 14 year old girl who's been traumatized, has 3 reusable nukes, is surrounded by yes men, and has a streak of insanity running through her family.
The show basically took her positive traits and amplified them while removing the negative.
Camden Ross
there are history books you can read user
Joseph Murphy
I don't know bros I feel like they left too many subplots and unfinished stories for a single season to do them any justice. They will either focus on the "army of the dead" plot killing off all characters you know and love without doing them justice or they will fuck up by ending the night king threat in first 3 episodes focusing on drama. Either way expect Littlefinger tier shit writing (guy who was being hyped as most cunning and dangerous man in Westeros dies in what I would call a "home alone" moment - being played by two girl).

you are correct except for >The show basically took her positive traits and amplified them while removing the negative. the viewers are tards so they see the negative, the stuff RR was showing, as positive. her whole character is strange because it does not fit the ice and fire world. She gets an army in seconds, an army of robot people. in reality someone of her character could never amount to anything, starting a religious cult after her husband died and "growing" up mentally would have been more likely outcome

The average "normie" back when slavery was a thing believed that single adult women were witches, blacks were less than human and that you can get shot like a dog if you get caught on someone's property.

Without God, there is no basis for an objective morality.
>With laws, it's not order, it's fear of jail You don't realize how lost you are without God.
Christian Stewart

Lucas Perry
A proposition is objective if its truth value is independent of the person uttering it. A fact is objective in the same way.
For morality to be objective, moral propositions such as "Killing is bad","Stealing is bad", etc... need to be true independently of the person who is stating them.
Moral statements are basically statements of value. Some value statements are clearly subjective: "Tabasco flavored ice cream tastes good" can be true for me, but false for you.
The challenge for finding an objective morality (independent of God) is to somehow demonstrate that a moral statement like "Helping others is good" or "Raping is bad" is true independently of the observer or subject of the statement.
There are ways to do this without resorting to God. One example is Kant, with his famous categorical imperatives. His approach to making morality objective rests on idea of whether a course of action can be applied in any situation whatsoever. If so then, it is true in all cases, and it is (objectively) moral.
Another approach is utilitarianism, where instead of trying to analyze the act itself, you measure the outcome: Which course of action leads to the greatest good for the greatest number of people? The objectivity for utilitarians comes from the statistical nature of the way goodness is assessed. Although the outcome of the act is subjective for each person, the overall truth of the statement depends on summing the value of the outcome for all people, and becomes objective that way.
In practice, both Kantian and utilitarian ethics have their challenges, but they are good starting points for an objective morality independent of God (or Gods).
>>SLAVERY BAD! I'm just sick of anti-slavery crusader-trope. Slavery is a quite complicated topic; banning slavery immediately only prevents de jure slavery, which makes things only worse. If you want to end slavery, it must be done gradually, start off by giving slaves the right to buy their freedom and force the slave owners to pay a small pension to their slaves. Continue, those small steps, until the slaves are almost identical to servants than you can officially ban slavery.
Also, I like how Arlan Senki subverts the slavery crusader trope, by the fact that the slaves Arslan releases attack Arslan for killing their master and releasing them because they have nowhere to go. I think Martin's books do something similar to a small extent but show completely removed it.
Snow is so empty as a character that he is prob next night king.
Justin Sanchez
Her burning people alive is shown in a positive light, and the audience literally cheers whenever she does it.

The "moral of the story" of any past story (that's actually completed) by GRRM are succinctly: >War is bad >Religion is bad >Feminism is good >Feudalism is bad and shouldn't be romanticized
You shouldn't be surprised when his Magnum Opus spouts the same beliefs.
Eli Baker
no, you tard. i was replying to someone who said you don't have to be conditioned against slavery to dislike slavery. i pointed out that it's not just being a matter of "not being conditioned against it". it's a matter of going against conditioning towards it.
i was taking issue with the insinuation that there was a neutral option between being told slaves are fine and being told slavery is bad where a culture didn't push either idea. he did not explicitly imply this but his phrasing suggested he might be looking at it from that paradigm because it included unnecessary negations
however you misinterpreted this because you're an argumentative moron who can't fathom trying to make any point besides a complete refutation

she does fucked up things in the show as well, but then she's presented as unambiguously good (mostly by other characters praising and adoring her incessantly). in the books, it's never really established if she's good in the first place.

Except werent the people in slavers bay or whatever its called literally the only people who used slaves? Didnt Daenerys literally grow up in a place called the "free cities"?

>chomsky is a shill, not a scholar. Don't say that!
Not him but I think people call GRRM a hack because he more or less endorses the show fully despite it deviating from the source in major ways and doesn’t care about some of the more nuanced themes being lost in the process

Because the north was envious of the production the south got through slaves and decided to level the financial playground by decreeing slavery should be abolished. Thus began the war of northern aggression.

Or maybe. Just maybe. Conservative """"artists"""" are just shit at their work? Someone spouting their conservative beliefs in their work is probably more cringe than when some faggot fucking liberal does it. GRR never spouted his political beliefs in ASOIF, so you are talking out of your ass.
Jose Perry
there are at least 3 major cities (who are basically countries) that trade in slaves. dothraki enslave people and own slaves. "free" can easily be refraining to anything else. "all men are created equal" etc also here is a snip from a wiki "It is not uncommon for the Volantene to mark the faces of their slaves and servants with tattoos as well." so at least some of the free cities own slaves.
Xavier Torres
>Revolutionary Catalonia >Socialist rule of the region began with the Spanish Revolution of 1936, resulting in workers' control of businesses and factories, collective farming in the countryside, and attacks against Spanish nationalists and the Catholic clergy. The growing influence of the Communist Party of Spain's (PCE) Popular Front government and their desire to nationalize revolutionary committees and militias brought it into conflict with the CNT and POUM, resulting in the May Days and the eventual replacement of the CNT by the PCE as the major political force in Catalonia until the arrival of the fascists. A three-year commie uprising in a small part of Spain is an example of a successful anarchist society?

There might only be two very competent female characters in the series Olenna Tyrell, an incredibly old and cunning woman and Brienne. Brienne is just a good knight, except she's female. Women don't accomplish much in the books, but neither do men. the point is men can suck as much as women and that feudalism is a bad system that leads to poor rulers.

to be fair, preston is right. GRRM is a feminist and the story will have feminist themes, but at present it's not STRONG WOMEN.

if your interpretation of meaning was correct you could point out where it occurred. but you can't.
Youre aware the heyday of slavery was the ancient world where slaves was the norm.
Ancient Greece, Imperial Rome, Dynastic Egypt, Ancient Persia, Germania and Gaulish tribes - everyone took slaves.
The only people who ever globally outlawed large scale slavery were western white men in the last 300 years - something unprecedented in human history. White men are probably the most morally benevolent group of people that have and will ever exist

People didn't reject slavery if anything they molded into accepting it more then ever. There were way more land owners in the past then there are today. Most people now either live in a capitalist society where majority work for the primary investor or multiple and or the creator of company, thinking that somehow profits and hard work mean they will get a promotion but that is completely opposite how capitalism works. or communist one where they forced to work for everyone else when it really means working for plenty of of parasites.

You're talking about a generation that refers to Harry Potter as if it's a real thing with real applications in the actual world. How many retards have you seen screen their worldview through the lens of fucking Voldemort or some other stupid character? Many, no doubt.
Those kinds of people eat this shit up. They love that Dany is a perfect girl with perfect looks, unwarranted power, and has no flaws to speak of whatsoever. They want her to win because she's the most vanilla generic safe and default modern day heroine imaginable. She does literally nothing and wins every time because other people carry out her will, and this is considered a virtue and "empowering" somehow. The only way for this show to be redeemed in the end is if she's straight up fucking killed on screen. Forever shatter those Mary Sue delusions for a generation of future sterile landwhales blogging about knitted hats.
Josiah Powell
Unironically this, but this was shown to be virtuous on screen rather than catastrophic. I'm sure those 50,000 brown swarthy mobile rape machines on horseback will suddenly dump their "toxic masculinity" and immediately cease slaving and raping because Dany gave them a stern look and a talking to about being naughty.

where are you getting this three quotation marks on each end from? is this some new reddit thing i haven't seen yet?

There's nothing more cringe than people advocating for anarchy when they couldn't go without internet, electricity, fast food, or central heating for two hours without turning into a blubbering mess. You can have anarchy right now, just go move to Africa. This >I want an anarchistic society with all the services and creature comforts of a Western capitalist democracy ;) shtick is for cringey teens.

>SLAVERY BAD!
She doesn't care about this, she evn allow people to sell themselves later while taxing them.
Christopher Morales
dont worry user, she'll be the one to make the heroic sacrifice to stop the white walkers to become the most importantest hero in the world
>SLAVERY BAD! Yes, it is. >DEMOCRACY GOOD! She wants to be queen run a democracy retard
>>MEN BAD! >>WOMEN STRONG! when did she say this
Xavier Gomez
It won't. You'll get the Dany-Jon soap opera fuck fuck ending. But the double Jews will do something lame and try to make it "bittersweet" somehow, though not really, by doing something like having them both go >alright yay we won but we in love now so no want rule now okay byeeeeeeeeeeeee~!! and fly off on their dragons or some shit. Then all the subhuman 80-IQ viewers will go "Awww, that's so saaaad! But at least they're together! #relationshipgoals".
I'd settle for Dany fucking dying but really it'd take half the cast dying to bring this thing up to an acceptable level. And the villains shouldn't die either, just to make it somewhat believable. Have Euron live or something.

Slavery is morally bad and if Heaven and Hell is just then all the supporters would be in hell
BUT
with that being said
Slavery was abolished under economic reasons, not moral reasons
People were assholes back then, accept it
Jayden Murphy
So why comment on it faggot?
Jaxon Jackson
dany is infertile so the black slave girl is going to be named heir. callin it right now.
Slavery is actually justified in all three Semitic religions, lel

Reddit might be a better website for you my friend. Maybe you should go on there to spend your time. Thanks for taking the time to read my reply. Have a wonderful day.
Jayden Fisher
because you replied to me subhuman

It's not a matter of people with ideas opposing their culture's literally never existing. It's just ridiculously convenient that this plot armored conqueror who gets to pull dragons out of her ass and never had anyone suggest this idea to her happens to be one of those few people so the story can have modern ideals in it. Also she just happens to be a female who is btfoing the patriarchy by showing that girls can be military leaders too (which I think was still a thing in the books. maybe less of one)
>tfw there will never be a show or a movie where a woman employs actual battle tactics in a logical manner using the forces and technology at hand to defeat enemies, and instead will always be Mary Sues with superpowers than can effortlessly hand-wave the evil bad penis monsters out of her way with a smirk and a witty quip.
I wonder how Martin feels about the show glorifying her burning people alive? His anti-war sentiment comes from Vietnam after all.
Colton Lewis
so is he a real vet or a refrigerator repairman vet or just some dirty hippie
Jose Brooks
Draft dodger. But that's besides the point. Vietnam is famous for the use of napalm, so I doubt martin likes the shows spin.

>whether a course of action can be applied in any situation whatsoever what can? how does that make morality objective? >summing the value of the outcome for all people I kill you, good for me, bad for you, bad for your friend. Morality becomes objective because your friends feelings are hurt?
Eli Ortiz
>active anarcho-primitivist good on you desu, post off grid cabin
that's... I mean, many infertile people would kill for the ability to have children, but yeah, I suppose the fact that you have intentionally rendered yourself infertile by wasting the time of doctors is a cause for celebration.

The books acknowledge that she's constantly fucking up and digging herself a deeper hole, but the show seems to try to spin it more positively. Either way she hasn't suffered any real consequences and it's frustrating.
Mos women want Jon Snow, not the Hound. Only the creeps in fandom want Sansan.

Asher Collins
Americans believe that white people literally went to Africa and chased niggers through the jungles with nets and shit to forcefully enslave poor bastards. Don't know if that's what they are told at school or the product of their superior brains.
Lincoln Moore
People are still assholes now and it's even more evident with social media. You can wish death upon some fuck you've never met or seen with the difference that now he can read it.

>capitalism is even more slavery than slavery bro Brainlet, how's your sociology uni going?
Logan Baker
In my country in Eastern Europe the nobles, the church and the state owned slaves that were gypsies mostly and some tatars. Slavery ended in the 1840's and 1850's while peasants' obligation to the nobles were only revoked in 1860's and they received land.
Nathan Phillips
I never said all slave owners were white, I'm aware every race has been victim to slavery, so enough of your "Smug redpill" bullshit
Aiden Anderson
I said if heaven and hell were just I'm aware god is probably an asshole
Ayden Baker
They did happen with the spanish on occasion because after getting rich from the slave trade the black salesman got lazy and couldn't keep up with demand for slaves.
