I liked the end of GoT, and I think one reason so many didn't was that it told them something they didn't want to hear: that there is no "breaking the wheel" and that those who attempt to bring Utopia are as to be feared as those whose evil evils kindle the desire for one.
I'm always uneasy when I see people claiming they are fighting to end racism, sexism, poverty, injustice etc. Not because those things shouldn't be fought against, but because the fight is unending, because the source of those things is not found in Capitalism or Conservatism or
Religion, but in our flawed human nature, and attempts by Jacobins or Marxists or whomever to simply outlaw those flaws always ends up confirming them instead. Kings Landing always burns. So don't fight the evils in human nature because you are convinced we can finally overcome
them. Fight them because they deserve to be fought against, and because the fight is all there is. We will make progress-and then relax the struggle and lose ground, and have to return to the fight, but that's how humanity achieves anything. A step forward, a step back, a step
sideways and hopefully a step forward that doesn't go all the way back, and on and on, so that we leave the world better than we found it. Progress is NOT all or nothing. It is whatever we can manage. I think we'll win in Nov. I think we are winning now. But there will
never be a time when we can say we've won the final battle and we're done. And we must avoid the bloody shortcuts of the past that tried to convince us otherwise.
