Tumblr Illiterate
I get annoyed with asoiaf fandom’s lol why do you spent any time thinking about politics it’s not gonna matter for the zombie v dragon show down
Because a.) there are thousands and thousands of pages dedicated to politics and if politics end up meaning nothing that would be terrible story telling
And b.) whose in charge in disaster strikes is actually really important. There’s a reason the president makes a public statement when scary national and sometimes global shit goes down. We look to our leaders for guidance.
A lot of the shit Westros is going through (war, starvation, etc) is due to mismanagement. And more shit is coming. Dragons, a zombie invasion, probably a medical epidemic. The survival of the nation is pretty much dependent on if a competent person manages to get into a position of power. (Stannis is being the most useful so far but I don’t think he can do it all by himself)
If a person or people can organize tropes. Organize healers. Figure out how to ration food and medical supplies. Keep the people calm. Encourage the education of the issues. etc, etc.
That will make a world of difference.
As opposed to what the politicians in King’s Landing are doing, which as far as I can tell is just running around with their heads planted firmly in their asses

98 year old dobri dobrev, a man who lost his hearing in the second world war, walks 10 kilometers from his village in his homemade clothes and leather shoes to the city of sofia, where he spends the day begging for money.
though a well known fixture around several of the city’s chruches, known for his prostrations of thanks to all donors, it was only recently discovered that he has donated every penny he has collected — over 40,000 euros — towards the restoration of decaying bulgarian monasteries and churches and the utility bills of orphanages, living instead off his monthly state pension of 80 euros.
there’s still good in this world
