I don't watch it, but I understand that the last episode of GOT exposed Daenerys as a power-mad, genocidal maniac, who wiped out an entire city and killed tens of thousands of civilians.
So yeah, I guess this is pretty accurate.
Yep. It did.
I couldn't help but think, as I watched last Sunday's episode, that Daenaerys was the epitome of a liberal:
- Starts out famous only because of her family connections
- Can't connect with the common man, because she has been sheltered too long
- Relies on having the ultimate might (dragons for her, police/military for libs) to instill fear in those that disagree with her
- Claims she wants to make the world a better place, especially when it comes to slavery, and gives zero f***s if innocent people are killed or harmed while she does it
There are other examples, but I'll keep the list short.
