Now, can we please talk about anything else?

WWII yeah, no chance.

WWI is kind of debatable. Especially by the time they booted Russia from the war.

If America didn't get involved (that is, if Germany didn't have a dumbass submarine warfare policy), I think a German victory could be feasible.

It wouldn have brought certain wet dreams projections of some right-wingers here as the late German Empire was already on the road to becoming on a parliamentary democracy with christian and social democrats having the majority in parliament.

Not after Stalingrad anyway.

The failure of the Spring Offensive pretty much meant that there was no chance for them to win. Plan 1919 would have been one of the greatest offensives implemented and I can't really see the Germans being able to withstand it after the losses they suffered in both the Spring Offensive and the Hundred Days Offensive.

Not to mention being responsible for the rise of the Bolsheviks.

People really need to stop taking Kaiserreich so seriously.

And I'm ok with that.

In fact, I'm for that.

You're... complicated.
While you hold traditionalist positions, outside of that, you're not very right wing at all.
As others have said, some kind of esoteric third position is likely closest.

I mean, third position thought is rather... broad, no?

That's an acceptable situation for me.
A moderate constitutional monarchy dominating central Europe.

It's the dark and forbidden zone between the two ends of the Horseshoe, where the known laws of politics no longer apply.

So basically centrism but with a pair of cool shades, then?

No that would be further up.

I hope you two both realize what Germany's plans were for Eastern Europe if they won WW1. Hint: not that far off from Nazi Germany's.

It wasn't that harsh, iirc. At least not overall.

The Baltics were kind of screwed over, but as far as I'm aware the other states formed by the peace with Russia would be self-ruled puppets.

Are you referring to the events of last night? I mean, I viewed the whole debacle as a source of entertainment, tbh. It's fun to watch internet arguments, ngl.

Good, good. Who else forms a "Commonwealth of America" in Kaiserreich? He's the only one I know of.

No, it called for widespread ethnic cleansing to make way for German settlement. The token rump states would have just been that, token rump states.

I think one of the syndicalist factions does, too.
Which is less cursed only on the grounds that Pelley is... Pelley.

It's one of the options that the Syndicalists can take, the other is basically a Soviet America.
I'm inspired by an old IWW called the Commonwealth of Toil.

Yeah, Pelley is basically the Satan of Kaiserreich.
