I hate this new trend. "Such and such event is actually just like GOT" or "south park called it; the writers are so intelligent" or "Oh, I hate american politic; its like House of Cards but real and not as interesting!". Or the one I hate the most "well, to me, both parties are exactly the same!". No. Read and learn about these events and you will see how bullshit these statements are. Nothing is like anything else. History is made up of individuals acting upon their own whims and chasings. While many events are comparable, absolutely none are equal.

If you need to dumbify or glamorize a topic to be interested in it, it is evident that you do not have the patience or bother to care or even wish to care about it. It is lazy and weak.

Seriously, just pick up the source material, get in touch with a few experts (personally or otherwise) and TRY to understand it. You will come off far better informed.
