#literally comparing how power handoffs are handled to supporting slavery

[blackcat419]

Tell me you don’t understand the medieval setting without telling me you don’t understand the medieval setting

BT: omg consistent laws on who gets power is basically supporting slavery!

At this point I can only laugh

If you must know why keeping consistent laws around power transfers are important, I’ll draw a little comparison. Imagine if the US president decided that Joe Shmo from Canada will be the next US president without any election. That’s basically what Viserys did in medieval terms. Does it look weird to modern people? Yeah, but when you actually put yourself in that time frame you understand why having consistent laws creates stability and avoids war. Like how the inconsistent handoff of power from Viserys to his kids caused war!
