Dalinar's conversations with the queen of Alethkar in RoW really capture his political feelings well: Queen: "Once in a while, I do think you need to be reminded that not everyone sees the world the way you do." Dalinar: "It would be better for us all if they did. I wish the world would stop making a mess of itself every time I turned my back." ... (About Azish bureaucracy:) "A bad Prime is unable to single-handedly ruin their government." Dalinar: "And a good one is unable to accomplish much." In Dalinar's experience, decentralized government has led to infighting, incompetence, and abuse under Ehlokar. The only way to "unite them" is with a strong, absolute ruler, like himself, Gavilar, or the queen.

I've come to the think the Azish have the best government on Roshar. Which is not a high bar mind you. But they actually are a meritocracy - albeit systemic bias is still a problem. They're stable and don't fall into civil war - too much paperwork. They're open minded - no problem being gay or whatever, just fill out the right forms. And they're organized and good at logistics and infrastructure, which is really important for a good government.

How does this clever video not have more views!

Commented originally thinking this was sarcasm - wanted to circle back to this. A lot of the attitudes being attributed to lib-left and lib-right (the latter especially) are actually authoritarian viewpoints. Lib-left/right are against rigid borders, for example. Just wanted to pop in and comment something substantial, as I think I misinterpreted this video the first time. Anyway, Dadinar ftw.

nuance: the video

I'm in the middle of Shadows of Self and Mistborn Era 2 seems to be where Brandon is going heavy into overtly bringing up political/social justice themes. I'm slightly confused because all of the bad guys are making excellent points about society and justice and the "good guy" Wax is just kind of an annoying, do-gooder cop.

A key thing about Sanderson, is that he just has characters speak and be who they are and then lets us decide who is right or wrong. Many of his villains have great points and that is not an accident. I don't think Sanderson feels the need to have his readers agree with him or to only effectively represent views he personally agrees with either. He shows the spectrum and that's part of what makes his work so effective.

Isn’t he an authoritative left by rhythm of war? He wants a collectivist cooperation of the people of roshar without force but under a strong central body of rule and leader? EDIT: nvm I remember his gripe about the Azish government now he is closer to being central on the x scale
