WHAT
GAME OF THRONES
REVEALS ABOUT YOUR POLITICS
by
Thomas M. Sipos, managing editor [May 19, 2019]
[HollywoodInvestigator.com] Almost everyone knows what their
astrological sun sign says about their personalities. But what
does your favorite
Game of Thrones house reveal about
your politics?
I've analyzed nine houses (some of
them technically not houses) to try and discern what their
political views might be if they suddenly found themselves in
our modern world. (Granted, an inexact science.) Pick your
favorite house (or faction) from the below list. The one that
most emotionally resonates with you. And discovers your true
politics!
* House Targaryen -- You are an ideological fanatic with a psychotic lust for power and
control. You were born to white privilege, yet you feel uniquely
qualified to be a "breaker of chains" for oppressed colored folk
everywhere. You seek to spread revolution around the globe. You
demand full compliance, and even love, insisting that haters
"bend the knee" or else. You believe your tyranny is necessary
for the greater good. You are patronizing to supporters,
intolerant of opponents, emotionally fragile, and violently
genocidal. You are a Social Justice Warrior.
* House Lannister -- You claim to be the defender of family, tradition, faith, and
freedom. Yet you subvert the laws of the land, and even take
pride in your Machiavellian machinations. You are deceitful,
sexually perverse, and a religious hypocrite. You have close
ties to foreign banks. You admit that you hate your own
countrymen. To you they are cannon fodder, to be killed and
discarded. You're always starting
wars, which never end as you expected, whereupon you start new wars.
Everyone hates you. You are a Neoconservative.
* House Baratheon -- You
respect the laws of the land, and expect other people to do the
same. You are loyal, and a man of your word. You will go to war
for a just cause, but do not seek war. You are a faithful
husband and a loving father. Alas, you have a weakness for
apocalyptic religions and wacky preachers. Normally
level-headed, religion can make you do crazy things. You are a
Constitutional Conservative.
* House Stark -- You
respect the rule of law and traditional family values. Even when
you dislike a law (e.g., beheadings), you dutifully carry it
out. You hate foreign tyrants. You prefer to elect your own,
native-born ruler. You have democratic impulses, yet limit
electors to stakeholders. You like small, rural communities
where people share a common culture and heritage, but welcome
immigrants if they are hard-working and contribute on the
battlefield. You are a Jeffersonian Democrat.
* House Tyrell -- You hate
ideologies. You wish only to live in peace and prosperity. You
are a world-weary cynic. You don't care for pomp and ceremony.
You have no particular political goals, but retain a vague love
of country. You dislike wars, but will fight to the death if
your country is invaded by foreigners. You defend your homeland
rather than its ruler. Despite your placid exterior, you
can be surprisingly calculating and cold-blooded in removing a
tyrant. When your back is to the wall, you do what you must. You are a Moderate.
* House Bolton -- You don't
try to hide or justify your cruelties behind ideologies. Your
banners and insignias boast images of torture and death. You
prize your reputation for terror. You don't want love, only fear
and obedience. In your spare time, you enjoy castrating men and
raping women. But you do have a warm and gentle side. You are an
animal lover, and take pride and joy in your attack dogs. You are a
Fascist.
* House Grayjoy -- You
dislike work and delayed gratification. Therefore, you do not
sow. You'd rather squat on a pile of rocks than cultivate land like
civilized people. You dislike the rule of law. Nobody is the
boss of you. You fight among yourselves. You steal from the
weak, and run from the strong. You enjoy travel
and the open sea. People will deal with you if they have to,
but nobody likes or respects you. That's okay. You don't like
them either. You are an Anarchist.
* Brotherhood Without Banners
-- You ignore tradition and hierarchy. You oppose all monarchs.
You reject laws and enforce justice. You take from the rich and
give to the poor. You support liberté, égalité, fraternité.
You live a communal lifestyle, close to nature. You think that Nature and Nature's God is on your side. You are
a Jacobin.
* Night's Watch -- You
believe in tradition and self-sacrifice. You live a life of
celibacy, poverty, and self-discipline, among a brotherhood of like-minded men. You reject personal glory and power. Your only
honor is service to others. Future generations will never know
your name, or the hardships you endured so that their civilization
can survive and flourish. You are a Traditional Catholic.
