They do like the military and battle shit. That’s the problem, they’re completely blind to any of the more complicated, interpersonal stuff.

Pew pew boom boom yaaaay, yap yap nooo

WW1 - they hit some dude in a car and everybody was pissed.

WW2 - everybody was sick of paying for WW1

Easy!

Idk if that's really why WWII started...

There was more to WW1 starting than Franz Ferdinand getting shot, too. They are sarcastically skewering people's simplistic understanding of the causes of those two conflicts.

I guess so. I think it was mostly Germany tired of paying for WWI tho lol

Or they aren't as oblivious as their children want to think. They're just proof that you only have to scratch a liberal to make a fascist bleed.
