People also chose to work for food in Brazil in some parts of the North and in confection factories in São Paulo. That still is called modern slavery and frowned upon.

on the second reply. Basically the writers fucked up and we agree the battle was ludicrous. But on the going to help but making things worse at least that is very common in the series. Same way people expect the book to end with all magic being over, so all targaryen and descendent of valyrians dead, the children of the night and the wall gone, the whitewalker no more... and the world basically becoming what would be a middle age europe.

Yeah, I think her definition of slave is just being forced into labour. Only working for food and lodging doesn't sound good.

The Unsullied go to bars and brothels though, so they do have money that comes from somewhere at least. Not sure how exactly they receive that money.

I haven't heard that theory before. But I hope there's something interesting involving Bran's abilities, the Nightwalkers and the Prince that was Promised prophecy. Though at this pace, the books will come out right after Final Fantasy 7 Remake in 2045.

Yep if they are on middle age setting most people would be ok with working for food and lodging.

Think about like in LotR, magic fading little by little from the world as humans take over and the other sentient creatures leave/die.

Most people don't believe the night walkers, old religion, etc. So with the end of the night king, targaryen, valyrians and Bran basically most of the magic will be gone and become stuff from legends in couple generations.

I agree the problem is the pace. Too sudden. But i must say that the snap did not happened just with the bells. Were happening multiple times in the last episodes. Jorah's death, Rhaegal's death, Missandei's death, Jon, Varys, Tyrion treasons. She was deranged and lonely just before the attack. When the moment happens, she just left her more primal emotions get the best of her. 

By the time the battle ended, what she was thinking was everything that she endured to get to this point. Everything she lost because of doing what others said her to do. She came to the conclusion that she is the queen, that she is the one who see what really needs to be done. She knew (from her point of view) that she needed fear to reign here, because trying the people to love her only served to bring death to her most loved ones. And hatred is not the same as fear. If you feel hate, you are not feeling true fear. When you're absolutely scared you don't allow yourself to feel hate. You become completely impotent. That's what she is trying to do to Westeros. That's the Targaryen mentality. 

How in God's name did you get to that conclusion!??

Humans tend to hate what they fear. That has been scientifically proven over and over. If you are scared of spiders, snakes, rats, cuckcroaches etc, etc, you automatically want to see them dead. That's just..  human nature.

And yes, most tyrants that have ruled through fear in human history have been murdered in the end.

There is a difference between fearing someone because he is to powerful and if you disobey the law you may be dead and fearing someone because he kills innocent people randomly. On the first one you may think that as long as you behave you are ok, on the second there is no option. So it is quite easy to see why the first may work but the second won't.
