GRRM himself doesn’t even dedicate asoiaf to the system of taxes within the seven kingdoms. There are throwaway lines made by Tyrion and Littlfinger, but that’s it. For a writer that tried to make his fantasy universe realistic, there are a lot of logical flaws.
>why are there no different dialects?
>what are the levels of currency and how are they valued?
>how does the king manage to throughly communicate with the other kingdoms despite communication problems?
The last one is the biggest for me, there are probably all kinds of shady shit going on without the king’s Knowledge. Why should faraway regions like the north and vale even bother following the laws set out by the king when he doesn’t even know what’s going in their places?

"I did begin a story placed about 100 years after the Downfall, but it proved both sinister and depressing. Since we are dealing with Men, it is inevitable that we should be concerned with the most regrettable feature of their nature: their quick satiety with good. So that the people of Gondor in times of peace, justice and prosperity, would become discontented and restless — while the dynasts descended from Aragorn would become just kings and governors — like Denethor or worse. I found that even so early there was an outcrop of revolutionary plots, about a centre of secret Satanistic religion; while Gondorian boys were playing at being Orcs and going around doing damage. I could have written a 'thriller' about the plot and its discovery and overthrow — but it would have been just that. Not worth doing."

Zachary Garcia
Maybe Tolkien thought it would be difficult to implement that in a way that wasn't detrimental to the flow of the book or made redundant by it
Mason Jones
I'm glad that Tolkien finally came out and gave his opinion on ASOIAF. I feel like he was silent on it for too long.
Alexander Powell
Tolkien has already addressed that shit but I can't find the sauce, go ask Yea Forums, if they read any books, that is.
Connor Martinez
What would your tax policy look like Yea Forums?
Josiah Bennett
As you get older, you start to understand that GRRM is a literal neckbeard writing his edgy sexy fantasies for teens, while Tolkien's work was a timeless piece of literature full of themes from mythology/folklore, history and theology.

The funniest thing about these modern day fantasy author's is that, every time they attempt one-up Tolkien when comparing their own works to his, they end up BTFO themselves eventually and never surpass the heights of Tolkien's works. It's like some sort of "Tolkien Curse" or something. Tolkien himself was literally the Donald Trump of Fantasy writers considering how many modern writers are always butthurt whenever his name's brought up.
Nathaniel Long

Apparently, quoting Wikipedia is now a deletable offense.
And just yesterday, saying that Midsommar was anti-white propaganda was also deletable.
This board is basically a Jewish outpost at this point.

Nolan Fisher
who cares, show sucks
Alexander Fisher
it's because Tolkien wasn't writing 'fantasy' - the genre didn't exist before him, so he just a traditional, quality story and a setting based on european folklore(afaik his intention was to write a fake mythological history for England which he felt was lacking, and also threw in a bunch of stuff based on his WW1 experience, his dislike for rapid industrialization, etc.); which is why LotR will always sit above its derivatives, whose authors grew up reading earlier works already full of genre clichés and specifically sat down to write 'one of those dungeons and dragons stories, but gotta throw in a twist so that I'm different'
James Green
Martin, like pretty much every other Western fantasy fan, is a huge Tolkien fanboy. I think people read too much into those quotes he gave about the difference between his stories and LOTR. He goes by G "RR" Martin for a reason.
>it's a real quote
tolkiengateway.net
Just when I thought I couldn't love Tolkien any more. He's completely right, too. Not his style at all.
Jose Reed
that's not how autocorrect works you phoneposting faggot
Bentley Mitchell
GRRM is a faggot and missed the point of LotR, Aragon is an ideal archetype not a real person, is how men should be not how they are
so of course he's a good king, you just have to fill in the blanks and realize his tax policy involved peacefully genociding the (((elves))) and reinventing the elf gold in public projects to the benefit of mankind
Jason Long
Apparently, George R.R. Martin has some Jewish ancestry so it's not a surprise an economics question would be his response.
Austin Mitchell
And so it came to pass that user posted thread after thread of low-quality bait, and he felt no shame for he was the worst shit-poster to set foot on the Middle-Board in that age. The elves sang no songs of user in the years that followed his ban, for they resented him, and named him faggot.

GRRM is a hack
Aaron Hill
Yeah, but can Aragorn spy on everybody at all times?
Nathan Wilson
Fantasy existed before The Hobbit. Tolkienfags are so dumb, most of them don't even know LotR takes place on actual Earth and Eru is JHVH and Christ is canon.
Cameron Lee
The Virgin Literalist vs The Chad Fantasist?
Henry Rivera
Do you have a source for that? I can only remember one Tolkien quote regarding Jews/Nazis, and it was very much anti-Nazi. This is something he wrote in 1938, in response to Nazi German laws regarding the publication of his books, since Tolkien is a German name:
>I must say the enclosed letter from Rütten & Loening is a bit stiff. Do I suffer this impertinence because of the possession of a German name, or do their lunatic laws require a certificate of arisch origin from all persons of all countries?
>Personally, I should be inclined to refuse to give any Bestätigung (although it happens that I can), and let a German translation go hang. In any case I should object strongly to any such declaration appearing in print. I do not regard the (probable) absence of all Jewish blood as necessarily honourable; and I have many Jewish friends, and should regret giving any colour to the notion that I subscribed to the wholly pernicious and unscientific race-doctrine.

Racism outside of Yea Forums has always been against the rules.
Dylan Reed
People are really overcomplicating things here when comparing the two. The differences between prose is enough. LOTR is balanced and stays firm throughout, whereas asoiaf is filled overly used phrases, shitty fanfic tier sex scenes, and cheap cussing
