@RAWigger it was an important plot moment

@found_it_funny Those descriptions sound a lot like me when i think about it

@Michaeldudufudu honestly, very real. Freud was right when he observed "penis envy" in a male dominated society (which was just women wanting social power) Now we have the reverse where men will make themselves effeminate for the same purpose

Being a man is impossibly hard nowadays.

@Michaeldudufudu kino. regardless of intent, kino.

@FortySacks Falkenhayn was already lamenting the decline of the influence of the aristocracy compared to the democratic influences of the Reichstag before the war started. A German victory would probably have only realistically slowed the spread of Liberalism for another generation

If the German Empire won the First World War, Western civilization would likely be far better off. No final victory of liberalism and eternal stagnation, no Anglo-Protestant culture to be twisted, inverted, and weaponized against itself, no post-war consensus morality, civil rights revolution, no White guilt. No race communism projected by the United States. Liberal capitalism and democracy are either subordinated to illiberal conservative regimes, as seen at best in the German and Japanese imperial models, or it becomes, at worst, a deeply conservative form of liberal capitalism. In Germany and Japan, the aristocracy transformed itself into the class of moneyed industrialists and commercial elites. Fusing progress, technology and tradition. In the British Empire, the wider Anglosphere, and France, by contrast, it was the liberal bourgeoisie, or middle class, that became the industrial elite and displaced the aristocracy. A victorious Germany in 1918 means the world would likely have preserved much more of the nineteenth century world. Monarchy, officer castes, aristocratic prestige, established churches, colonialism, ethnic hierarchy, and class hierarchy would all have had more legitimacy. Not unlimited legitimacy, but far more than they had after 1945. The lesson drawn from the war would not have been “the old order led to catastrophe and must be morally purged.” It would have been “discipline, hierarchy, monarchy, industry, and military professionalism defeated liberal decadence and revolutionary chaos.” You could still get liberalisation, but not the same liberalism. You might get parliamentary reform, labour rights where they didn’t exist (illiberal conservatives were better than liberal capitalists), wider but not universal suffrage, stronger civil liberties, and probably constitutional monarchy. But you do not get the same civil rights revolution across the West. You do not get the same delegitimisation of inherited hierarchy. You do not get the same enthusiasm for multiculturalism. You do not get the same suspicion of nationhood, ethnicity, churches, patriarchal family structures, and elite authority. In our timeline, after 1945, America became the hegemon of the West and exported a strange mixture of market capitalism, rights universalism, mass consumer culture, constitutional liberalism, and later civil rights morality. All of that is now left-liberal race communism. That American order also had to reconcile its own self image with segregation, so the civil rights movement became globally symbolic. In a German victory timeline, the United States may remain powerful, but it does not become the unquestioned architect of the Western order in the same way. That alone changes everything. The creation mythos the Second World War and the Holocaust is the biggest discontinuity. Without a Nazi regime, or without a Second World War unfolding the same way, the moral centre of postwar Western politics is radically different. Modern egalitarian liberalism gained enormous power from the idea that racism, nationalism, biological hierarchy, and authoritarian traditionalism weren’t just wrong, but historically implicated in absolute evil. Without that, older forms of hierarchy remain respectable. The growth of managerialism as a system is also likely slowed.
