  • That's apparently an unsourced quote but in practice it distills everything else he has to say about corporatism in particular and everything being within the state and such so whatever, just be aware you won't be able to find a speech with that phrase in it

    I would argue that it also crucially ignores his goal of taking over the power of the church as well, but Mussolini was cagey on that matter by necessity so it's not evidence against the quote.

  • Valyrian steel can kill white walkers, and that Needle is made of it gets brought up repeatedly when Martin is reminding the readers of where all the known Valyrian steel swords are.

  • You don't train someone as an assassin and specifically give them a sword made of the metal that kills Night Kings if you don't plan on them killing a Night King, first off. It's also the exact kind of reversal of expectations for conflict resolving that Martin loves and, on the topic, I think the reason we're never getting his ending is because it's clear that this was his ending and people hated it.

    As for her character arc and revenge, that's the thing, it's not revenge, it's her duty as a Stark. By your own reasoning using her new skills in this way instead of going after the Lannisters or whoever is the inevitable conclusion.

    Also, being what he is, I fully expect the leader of the Others in the book to get called a Night King/Night's King if by some miracle he does actually publish the rest of the series. Yeah there's all that stuff about that being a historical figure but it's also the kind of name that becomes a title in its own right.

    But, all that said, at this point only Martin really knows what his intentions are and were.
