The work of Thomas777 and Pete Quiñones on the World War Two podcast series gave rise to a personal fascination with a historical figure who for the majority of Westerners, let alone the world, has been thrown into relative obscurity.
> the question posed and potentially answered in the final episode is whether or not a secular peace is worthy of pursuing. While it alleviated Europe of further bloodshed in the immediate term, one can make the argument that it culminated in far worse horrors in the World Wars, Communism, and the atomization of mankind.
If you're answer to the question really is "no", are you willing to apply that answer to our own time?
My initial answer is no, but I’m not solidified in that answer cause that begs the question of how much more bloodshed Europe could really take back then. But if my answer does indeed wind up being no, it will absolutely be related to present day.
Ernst Junger wrote that Liberalism led to nihilism, which led to Bolshevism, which led to Nazism, and in a warning that Liberalism postwar is going back to the starting point.
“The Peace” by Ernst Junger 1944. I agree with Junger, who was present for the events from WW1 to the fall of the Berlin Wall
There’s some parallels to America now and Austrian Hapsburgs ; a Constitution that defies Codification caught my eye. I refer to how we are so Constituted not the document of 1789. Our working Constitution is the Federal Register, a Codification of which would tax the powers of Lucifer, never mind we mere mortals.

Yes
Westphalia led to WW2…
Disagree.

1895-1998.
Westphalia led to WW1. WW2 was just to decide what would fill the void.
Disagree. I understand the logic, I don’t agree.
The Nuremberg consensus also makes Victory in war impossible.
Fortunately that consensus is being broken by the strangest of agents … who decided they want to live.

(Yes Powers of Lucifer stolen from Moldbug).
What about the Battle at Verden
or the
Punic Wars
Just asking.
Punic Wars are a personal fascination of mine. Perhaps in the future.
Silly question, but where can I find your podcast?
It’s on all audio-only podcast platforms (Spotify, Apple Podcasts, etc)
This sounds DOPE
Looking forward to it (salute)
Thanks brother!
