@GrayConnolly At Harrow, there is a book listing all old harrovians, their achievements and deaths.
A harrovian told me how sad it was for 1914-18. Before and after they were the most accomplished men you could imagine. During that period, died, 19, was a constant refrain.
We need to be very honest with voters about this.
Doing what needs to be done will not be easy, but it needs to happen. It is the only way to restore Britain.
@Marblechops79@NemesisDivina5 Leftism bother me more because the counter explanations are more complex and less visual.
But they do teach nazi propaganda methods alongside their own green propaganda and kids notice.
If they teach boys they are bad then the rest of the teaching probably doesn’t land well?
God died in the trenches, in the fields, and in the casualty reports of 1914-1918. It’s very, very difficult to quantify the trauma that Europeans faced—particularly the British upper classes, who volunteered en masse and whose ranks were especially devastated by the war.
The scale of the British upper class's sacrifice in World War I has been largely forgotten, but was so high as to be a civilizational catastrophe on a scale unseen for centuries: the ~20% death toll it suffered hadn't been seen since the Wars of the Roses
And, much like that prior catastrophe, this one brought immense change. The Wars of the Roses brought the Tudors and, through them, eventually, Protestantism, a massive change. The Great War brought with it a snuffing out of the greatness of spirit and cultivation of excellence that had formerly defined the British landed elite. With their heirs dead in Flanders, their estates and incomes confiscated through confiscatory taxation and onerous regulations, and the world for which they long struggled and fought crumbling as egalitarian democracy rose in its stead, the old world of the landed elite faded away, and with it the residual cutural Christianity the Anglican order and its fusion with the aristocracy had created. Having fought for a nation that showed it despised them, they and their world faded, as did its virtues
