I wish more people realize both WWs were just depopulation, culture sterilization, and mergers and acquisitions rolled into one, and everyone knows the third is nigh.

We got so close before it all came crashing down with massive world wars that somehow people cared about from reading an article in a newspaper about a battle four weeks ago
