What was the point of this video? It threw the cliche "the only way to win is not to play" line too. If anything, by not playing you get killed by a warlord. Either I'm not getting it or this guy makes no sense.
[QUOTE=ForgotPassword;44486599]I think he's just trying to compare real world and GoT politics. He's just saying that the type of government that GoT tries to use is bad for everyone because of how so many people die because people want to sit on the iron throne. I'd say its a good topic to put up for discussion.[/QUOTE]What discussion? I'm still not getting what is there to discuss. Of course rulers will want the throne because it grants you power. Peasants can't simply disregard the throne and make it not powerful any more. In GoT power comes from wealth and manipulation. Commoners can't make them go away simply by stopping believing in them. At the same time government also keeps shit in control. Millions of peasants with weak government is begging for trouble.

The point is that when peasants chose to rebel against their governments, any authority that government had is now nullified because everyone disregards that authority.
