The naive attempt to improve society somewhat involves conquering an entire city, changing it's laws inmediately, and then leaving inmediately. Maybe i'm misremembering but Martin said that plotline was inspired by the US involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan.
It's very convenient that the only attempt to change the status quo was presented as that bad to imply the status quo is preferable by default. :liberalism:
There are more examples of good attempts at changing the status quo, but go on.
Damn, i wonder why the story about rich bastards destroying entire kingdoms for their own benefit doesn't show said bastards doing jolly stuff for the masses lr abolishing the status quo that benefits them.
