why would you keep doing something if you have no reason to do it? We're just trying to find the reason why we have to keep up.

because we suffer

Excerpt:

>An initiative Hitler undertook already in the period when Hindenburg was still head of state, and which had an anti-traditional character, was extending the Gleichschaltung also to the Länder, the individual regional entities that in their partial autonomy and sovereignty corresponded to the various kingdoms, principalities and free cities of the federation of which the Second Reich was composed, with Prussia enjoying a pre-eminent position among them. These were abolished one after another, and the individual Länder were integrated in the central government by taking on the character of Gaue, areas headed by functionaries of the Reich’s central government, who were no longer representatives of the corresponding communities.

>Prussia was the first to undergo this fate under the leadership, unfortunately, of von Papen, a Rightist. Even Hindenburg said nothing to oppose this development, which amounted to a policy of centralising and levelling. Once again the excuse given was the need of a total organisation of all forces with the goal being the maximisation of efficiency. Emphasis was placed on the fact that by this policy Germany had become, for the first time in its history, unified as a “nation” (in the sense of modern nationalism). From our point of view, however, the negative aspect of the initiative is clear, since the previous system of a superior central authority combined with a group of smaller political units that enjoyed partial autonomy had an organic and qualitative character, which is traditional in a superior sense. In this regard Germany had presented, among all the modern European nations, an outstanding example.

I don't know if Hitler was against the very notion of aristocracy but as far as I know, he was definitely quite hostile to the old Prussian aristocrats. He perceived them to be the ones to blame for Germany's loss in the first war. You know, they brought the country into the thing, made a pig's ear of it and then surrendered at a time when Hitler believer Germany could have gone further. I remember reading how Wilhelm would write letters to Hitler in exile in the Netherlands and Hitler would just discard the things. But Wilhelm himself wasn't exactly fond of Hitler either, pic related.

This thread is probably a lot more suited to /lit/, but it's pretty hard to say. A lot of artistic depictions of characters like Odysseus vary on who had them commissioned and when, for example Tiberius' statue at Sperlonga looks like a weathered middle-aged hoplite, even if should be he's around ~50 in my opinion by the time he washes up on Polyphemus' island.
I wouldn't be surprised if Greeks asked each other the same question at drinking parties.

What if Hitler managed to defeat Soviet Union? Then he would control all of Europe and Britain would be fucked

>>3321038
>Germany collapses within a decade
You don't know that, and neither did they

Letting Germany get what it wants WAS the official British policy ever since Hitler got to power. At some point after Czechoslovakia was destroyed in 1939 they simply realized that Hitler will stop at nothing and that ignoring him would do more harm than good.

You also fail to understand what was the official British policy towards the continent for more than 200 years. Never, under any circumstances allow another power's hegemony over Europe. WW2 was the last practice of such policy.

>>3321062
What if the US didn't get involved in the war and the Soviets defeated Germany without them? The Soviets would control all of Europe and Britain would be fucked.

Isn't there a quote that goes along the lines of: "British food, British women, and British weather, and thus a great nation of sailors was born"

In all seriousness though
1. Cheap land for farming and selling crops in north america
2. Prisoner in North America and Australia
3. In non white colonies whites would hold higher social standing such as India so greater prospects to be wealthy
4. Missionaries would often stay
5. And most importantly in comparison to other European colonialists British colonialists would take their families. Spanish conquistadors were just men whilst Brits in north america and Ireland where whole families.

They rose to power extremely fast, and controlled a ridiculously large area for a ridiculously large time. Nobody holds the Romans up as ethical role models.
