  &quot;Don&apos;t seek power&quot; said the ruling class that funds these movies. &quot;Calls to action should scare you, unless they are perfectly vague. Only the system is safe, no matter how flawed.&quot;

  Fun fact, in books, Jon Snow does want it. Badly. His whole existence is based in seeking recognition and legitimacy.

  The trope of &quot;The antagonist is right but also a mass murderer so let&apos;s beat them up and forget all that talk about making things better&quot; is an old classic. It&apos;s so prevalent and genuinely makes me angry when I see it now. I can&apos;t stand it anymore.

  I recently stumbled across a screenshot of a tweet that read: “essentially an enormous part of the reason that online leftist spaces suck so much is that they are filled with people who believe it is more important to do nothing wrong then it is to do something right.” I’ve been thinking about that constantly for almost a week.
