Obligatory "the assassination of archduke Ferdinand didn't start WW1 because the material conditions and economic systems at the time would have eventually demanded it regardless; the assassination only acted as a catalyst" etc etc

Still very cool though

WW1 started because Friedrich Wilhelm wanted to fuck his mum.

In particular, his left arm was fucked during his birth (and they basically tortured him through his childhood to try and make it right), and he had a strange obsession and wrote many letters to her about dreams where he would caress his mother's left hand.

Learning about his life made me realise that calling someone a "mother fucker" is a serious insult because you're saying they'd fuck their own mother - none of this step-dad bullshit.

That's a wild take

But also I'm so glad I learned about this thanks

It came to me listening to the Behind the Bastards episodes on Kaiser Wilhelm. [YouTube Part 1]
