Ah yes, history has shown that this is a good idea. I'm sure it'll end well this time. 
Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
Does Europe have a Germany problem or does Germany have a Europe problem.
Like, if it's a forgone conclusion that the Krauts will attempt to rule Europe, we must take a stance. As long as we know there is a Germany that will do this that becomes the constant. The variable, then, is how they succeed and fail with each attempt. The Eternal German, to give it a name.
So the question is: is Europe destined to be German and this is one long series of struggles as the Eternal German waxes and wanes? In which ultimately Europe will be suborned, eventually.
Or is Germany destined for failure every time, and therefore the Eternal German takes the role of the fickle province in constant rebellion against the rest of Europe?
Which way, Western Man?
Your comment reminds me of this US propaganda video from the US War Department in 1945.
The intro bit where it's just footage of Prussian flags and talking about the Germanic religion of iron and blood... that's the Eternal German right there
I prefer those old-timer accents.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Europe came closest to achieving political unity under the Nazis, making Adolf Hitler the Qin Shi Huang of Europe (a very cursed phrase). You can see this clearly with this Wikipedia map on Sweden's "neutrality"
Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland were "neutral" who did what Herr Hitler told them to do, leaving only Iceland, Portugal, Ireland, the UK, and the RSFSR as part of Europe that Hitler failed in the project of European unification. Runner-ups of European unification are Napoleon and the EU, which both failed to bring southeast Europe to the unification project.
The Waffen-SS was essentially Europe's first real army, not a European army of some European principality or a European statelet or a European petty kingdom, but a real army of a (near) unified Europe with European men recruited from the entire continent.
And this army was completely staffed by genocidal fascists hopped up on stimulants and tasked to wage a war of annihilation against the Tatar-Mongolic Judeo-Bolshevik hordes of the Soviet Union, demonstrating that the very idea of Europe itself is forever cursed and order will not be restored until Europeans accept their true identity as northwestern Afro-Asians hailing from the continent of Afro-Asia.
If only Varus hadn't lost the battle of the Teutoburg forest, we wouldn't have to worry about all this shit.
I don't think that even mattered, consider guys who did lost later turned out to be UK and France. Though it might be because they became UK and France because repeated conquests by Germans...
I was not expecting Moorcock of all things.
