Here I was feeling mighty uncomfortable with all the WWII parallels I'm seeing and it turns out I've been overlooking the WWI parallels this whole time.

Also the guy in the video is a queer historian who is starving and he's planning on starting a podcast to do audio essays. I think he's one to keep an eye on if you dig history/sociology and he deserves support for the critical work he is doing.

HAHA...

Its awesome to think of Aircraft Carriers and M1 Battle Tanks and B2 Bombers in the same way the Magniot Line was thought of after WW2.
