Funny how everyone wants to be the next Tolkien, and yet all they write are nihilistic stories nobody finds enjoyable.

All wars fought in the West after the death of Christ were in some way orchestrated by the accursed jude. Keep groveling at their feet, dogs

GRRM hates being called nihilistic though

>Q: Early on, one critic described the TV series as bleak and embodying a nihilistic worldview, another bemoaned its “lack of moral signposts.” Have you ever worried that there’s some validity to that criticism?

>A: No. That particular criticism is completely invalid. Actually, I think it’s moronic. My worldview is anything but nihilistic.

It wasn't even something like "that's how it works and people are naive", "well it depends on how you view nihilism", he straight up said no and stupid. Maybe it applies to the show but IDK.
