What a poor formulation of a very simple idea.

> GRRM writes a Picaresque series of constant happenstances which don't build on eachother, since he doesn't understand this nor the important building blocks of a Picaresque, namely the journey, coming home and reflection of pointless, arbitrary events and the randomness of the Universe, Martin writes towards a Great Point, which doesn't work because everything leading up to it is thematically diconnected since the series is just a bunch of picaresque smaller stories one after another with no connecting theme.

Why mix in liberalism? I know /pol/ cant read books, but they shouldn't try to give judgement on them either.

I ironically brought up this in anecdote form once, and they jumped in, defending Martin's world that "He probably thought of that too, his world is very well thought out!".

This is a /litpol/ board, *bucko*

I've seen your stupid video, and you overestimate Martin. He's a bog-standard pious liberal (not a cynic), and the ending is probably gonna be about how social justice is awesome

what is this?

reading game of thrones right now. only like 40 pages in and it's annoying. every 10 pages it changes scenes with all new characters.

hopefully it comes together or i'm putting this book down.

the tv show is, sure; the book has sex but it's it's usually depressing rather than hot

OH NO NO NO NO

>what about the orcs, did Aragorn kill even the little baby orcs in their little orc cradles?
Tolkien did actually address this, if Martin had taken the time to read the History of Middle Earth.
Aragorn didn't genocide the orcs, though the Dwarves once tried (in the War of the Dwarves and Orcs, just prior to the events of The Hobbit). Tolkien even mentioned how the Dwarves killed orc women and children (which was also when i learned that there was such a thing).
as for tax policies, Tolkien addressed that too, though very briefly, because even Tolkien thought it was a boring topic. Suffice it to say, good kings didn't tax the land to death. Bad kings did.
Standing armies? Addressed. All kingdoms had them. There were certainly lands where the local people had no standing army (perhaps something more resembling a militia, like the Green Elves of Ossiriand, who typically kept to themselves and only mustered when attacked). Elu Thingol of the kingdom of Doriath had a standing army, and even a border fence (granted, it was magical, but it could still be crossed by large numbers of illegal immigra---i mean, large numbers of orcs, hence a border patrol led by Mablung and Beleg were responsible for guarding the border of elven kingdom.
Gondor also had a standing army, as seen by the maintenance of certain military outposts that were built specifically to keep a watch on Mordor. (these outposts were later overrun by Sauron's forces)
Floods weren't really mentioned, but famines were, and kings handled those in the ways that normal kings handled them, good ones by helping the people, bad ones by ignoring the people. There was a particularly horrible famine spread by Sauron (well, technically by Witch King, but he served Sauron so...), this took place centuries before the events of the Hobbit. The famine was followed by an actual invasion into Eriador by the forces of Angmar, in which an ancestor of Bilbo's fought alongside the kings of Arthedain (Arnor itself had splintered into three kingdoms, a historical reference to western Roman empire's splintering into sub-kingdoms, while the eastern Roman empire held together like Gondor for much longer).

Tolkien thought of all this, and Martin is just a pale candle to Tolkien's bonfire.

Sunset found me not reading your post, yawning.

Good post
I know it's said a lot but Yea Forums really can't read more than a few lines huh

He's not a bog standard liberal though.

I'm sorry your ideology is a laughing stalk. It must be very unpleasant having to call everyone "pol" for making fun of how retarded you are.

and you know what they did afterwards
hehe

hehehe
uhihihi

>all these degenerates seething

doing the same but for this 'shakespeare' dude that English professors cum over. honestly can't stand this guy. he wrote his books really hard to understand and you can't tell what the fuck is going on

lol don't compare this retard to the greatest english language writer

It's fucking fantasy you pleb, anyone autistic enough to write so much about it, no matter how good Tolkien is, deserves attention. Lose weight, get laid and drop the SSRIs fuckwit

Yeah. It's a shame because you can tell he's a dedicated writer with lots of characters and plot-lines in his head. He's got the imagination of a writer, but the content of his books, from what I have heard, is just not appealing. It really is degeneracy.

I like watching short interviews of him, though. Seems like a fun enough dude. At the very least he's not a normie

Ahhh, man
