i remember very vividly how in the late 80`s/early 90`s all the right wing/neonazi types in my school (i grew up in germany) really really digged depeche mode. Obviously this wasnt depeche modes intent, but it is interesting that they somehow attract this sort of people.

well, you think that today is any different to "medieval" times? it is in parts of the world, but in most it isnt… for example:

sociopaths have a strong tendency to be self-destructive. i would argue the opposite, ramsay is one of the most interesting inventions in his books. why? because he uses ramsay to play with our notion of revenge. who didnt wish the worst for theon when he betrayed robb, when he killed and burned those two boys? so,…
