I was reading up on "Kaiser" "Wilhelm II" of "Prussia" over the past couple of days. The insanity of World War I has been on my mind since the start of Covid bullshit in 2020, because I previously thought World War I was the single dumbest mass event in human history until I lived through "covid". Covid is even dumber.
WWI was the clash of nation states and Empires and the "royal families" of various european countries. It was a giant bloodbath. Millions of people died by new mechanized military slaughter machines. Joining the military to fight on the front was essentially like running through a meat grinder machine. Some percentage of people would make it. Others just became sausage. It was a huge spasm of waste and insanity. It was the inspiration for Tolkein's Mordor world, supposedly.
The Royal families of Europe were all closely related. Wilhelm II was the grandson of "Britain's" queen Victoria. His first Cousin was the "Tsar" of Russia. Wilhem II had beef with his "British" relations for mysterious reasons--it was really just personal bullshit.
It seems like the British and German "courts" were chock full of closeted gay people. Main movers and shakers in the "Empires" were homos. So World War I was a slap fight between some gay, inbred royal weirdos in various nations. Banker and financial jewish families were also very closely involved in every country. I think the appellation "Jew" really means nothing at all in this context, by the way. It's like a meaningless brand name or label that was useful in the banking profession of the insane world of ancien-regime Europe.
Mom and pop average citizens have absolutely nothing to do with the court/ruling class freak-a-zoids of any era. The people in the capital city, and the talking heads on TV are always the worst people of their nations. The same pattern repeats again and again. They're parasites. They're violent. They're unproductive.
