Darryl, make an Amazon affiliate link, post lists of books for each series. Make some profit and save me from rewinding to see what book is being referenced with the quotes. I already got two books.

Bush wars would be great but we need the American Civil War. Incredibly relevant and overlooked given the enormity of what the 20th century was.

Listening to this on my flight to Munich, visiting my ancestral homeland of Germany for the first time ever.

This episode could not have come at a better time. Thank you Darryl. 🙏

Epic. I’m sure Darryl will get into how Munich was the most right wing province in Germany after the potential red revolutions post WW1. It wasn’t a coincidence that Hitler found his voice and ideology in the Munich pubs.

I think it's dishonest for us to pretend today that most of what the guy said wouldn't resonate with the majority of the rural populations of Europe, America, Australia and most other places outside the boutique academic crowds in the urban centers

Especially in light of today

Barely an hour into this and my tears have forced me to stop listening.

This cuts too deep.

England, the country of my birth, lost its soul on those battlefields.

In every English town and village you will find a war memorial listing the names of those who lost their lives during WW1.

In the village I grew up, which had a population of maybe a few thousand, it contains hundreds of names, often several of the same name. Were these brothers? Cousins? I’ll never know.

Each and every time I stop by that memorial to pay my respects I am overcome with a sadness like no other.

To hear Darryl describe the horrors of what those men endured is both humbling and sickening.

What demonic forces were responsible for unleashing such murderous hell on so many?

Thank you for your work, Darryl, and for ensuring their memory will live on just a little longer.

I will resume once I have regained my composure.

Yes.

The memories of seeing that generation in their twilight years with their broken bodies are ever present. They came back to the foundries, the mines, the factories etc etc.

Still living in slums. Still earning very little.

I grew hearing old English still in use. I look around me today and see how disconnected most are from their heritage.

I went abroad earlier this year for the first time ever. I was at menenport. I walked around and round reading those names. Found the south staffs and recognised some of the surnames. We're no longer part of Staffordshire. They cut us off in the seventies. The twentieth century was the greatest betrayal of the English.

And it continues today.

I can't shake the weight of all those names. All those headstones. All those graveyards I travelled past through Belgium and France.

England lost it's soul in the "Glorious" Revolution of 1688 when traitorous elements in Parliament decided to depose James II and replace him with a fucking Dutchman and his traitorous Stewart wife. It was all downhill from there. Even Cromwell realized it eventually, when it was too late. How horrible it must be to have that epiphany, that "Holy shit, we are being INVADED, and not only are we NOT fighting back, we are WELCOMING IT." That is the terrible genius of the Westphalian system, which was distilled from centuries of increasingly deviant methods of ruling from the shadows, originating with the Praetorian Guard of the Roman Empire. After they were routed out by Constantine, they set up shop in Venice and learned how to be bankers. When that got too hot during the Hundred Years War, they moved to Amsterdam. They have a thing for SWAMPS, in case you haven't noticed. From there, they set their sites on the ultimate island fortress, ENGLAND. Within a few hundred years, they infiltrated and corrupted it from within, and convinced the people that kings should have no power. The Bank of England, established in 1694, became the hub of the Empire's web of colonial central banks, which has plagued mankind to this day. Pay close attention to the war that Donald Trump is fighting, because he is deracinating this plague as we speak.

To be fair, James was a pretty ineffective ruler. But tracing the deep state back to the praetorians is interesting.

A really good movie to watch is, “Easy Virtue” with Colin Firth. It speaks about the incidence of entire British towns being wiped out in WWI, as you describe in your note above. A very funny, yet thoughtful movie.

Because it made me realize that the left was fully incorporated into our democratic government and that the democrats fully supported terrorists, and it also helped me realize that the left is wholly corrupt and irredeemable and we’re mostly nihilistic terrorists.

I don't even know that the second was worse. The sheer horror of the trenches hasn't been surpassed. Gas wasn't used in battle in WW2, for example.

Alex o's avatar

Yeah the individual experience of the average WWI front line solider was probably worse, for longer stretches that the average one in WWII. WWII just had more large scale horrors, like mass terror bombings of civilians and concentration camps. Both horrible in their own ways.

It was definitely worse to be a civilian in WW2. The Chinese alone had more civilian deaths in the second than all civilian deaths in the first.

Alex o's avatar

Absolutely, you didn't want to be an Asian or Eastern European civilian during WWII. Completely indescribable horrors. Total powerlessness. Then, you can have barstool conversation like ''would you rather be in WWI trench or in Stalingrad?'' for the soldiers' case.

"Would you rather be frozen and starved or shelled and gassed?" Comes down to personal preference really.

Just finished this. Listened on and off all day, and my heart is now broken for those poor war veterans whose citizenry decided to withdraw support in the midst of war. Feels reminiscent of Americans or the Brits being ashamed of our flags while multiculturalism is shoveled down our throats. Well done Daryl, I eagerly await ep2 🫡

Listening to your vivid description of life in the trenches. Worked in North Dakota in the oil fields. Got there in March. As spring began to come on things got interesting on these sites. There would be heavy equipment moving around all day. All the workers basically got to the site in F-350s. You would get there in the morning and everything would be frozen. As things heated up and thawed out over the course of the day all this heavy equipment would make ruts. It was common where stuff would need to get pulled out of the mud. You would leave the jobsite that day with freshly made ruts going every which a way. The next morning you would show up and everything would be frozen rock solid. You would be driving onto the site and you would think your truck is going to break apart from all the rocking around and bottoming out on the frozen heavy equipment ruts going all directions. Then it would heat up, thaw out, and the process would repeat.

While this has nothing to do with WWI and hardly as miserable as life in the trenches, it really changed my perception of what life must have been like for a mechanized offensive into the vastness of Russia. During the spring and fall.

The same bloodline from those trenches are currently being arrested for Facebook posts that will land them in prison for 2 years for saying they don’t like their money being spent on illegals who hate them, we are doing nothing while grandmothers are arrested for quietly praying outside of abortion clinics, we are watching people with 30 arrests being let out of jail to attack more people. A man killed a 6 year old and served 6 years. Now government is implementing a digital ID system to completely rule over the peasants, all while loud speakers play the call to prayer 5x a day while kids are taught in school that if they are white they should be ashamed, while using the bigotry of low expectations on anyone not white. Our kids aren’t learning cursive or much of anything except propaganda talking points. We elected Trump to be America first not realizing he had turned into Bibis lover aka little bitch. We are paying for a genocide of babies and kids but say anything about it and you’re labeled antisemitic. We can’t even insist that a large pedo ring result in arrests. Geez we are lost and need God.

We need God for sure. I agree with much of what you say, however I believe we must attempt to not go into the trap of the Ashkenazi playbook: To set people up against each other, while robbing both sides of their resources and their freedom. If you believe the 5x prayer (to God, after all) is a part of the problem, the propagandists have had an easy job with you.

I don’t see people praying as a problem. I see the UK now and don’t want my country to follow suit. I would be more at ease if my x feed wasn’t full of Muslim men saying the West will convert or die

I believe those are just trolls. Muslims are instructed in the Quran to not bother about non-believers as long as they don't bother them. So the propagandists(guess who) must have some ill-behaving people out there who call themselves muslims so that the propaganda campaign against Islam will work.
