It's because the miracle of the house of Brandenburg was an inspiring example to the Germans in 1945, I can see where they're coming from, but to start with that is just stupid. Should start the documentary giving some background to the 18th century geopolitical situation he arose in instead imo.

So about 30 autistic English lefties will turn up so the ((media)) can sell the notion that the Welsh give a single solitary shit about an American President.

WHITE founts falling in the Courts of the sun, And the Soldan of Byzantium is smiling as they run; There is laughter like the fountains in that face of all men feared, It stirs the forest darkness, the darkness of his beard; It curls the blood-red crescent, the crescent of his lips; 5 For the inmost sea of all the earth is shaken with his ships. They have dared the white republics up the capes of Italy, They have dashed the Adriatic round the Lion of the Sea, And the Pope has cast his arms abroad for agony and loss, And called the kings of Christendom for swords about the Cross. 10 The cold queen of England is looking in the glass; The shadow of the Valois is yawning at the Mass; From evening isles fantastical rings faint the Spanish gun, And the Lord upon the Golden Horn is laughing in the sun.
Dim drums throbbing, in the hills half heard, Where only on a nameless throne a crownless prince has stirred, Where, risen from a doubtful seat and half attainted stall, The last knight of Europe takes weapons from the wall, The last and lingering troubadour to whom the bird has sung, That once went singing southward when all the world was young. In that enormous silence, tiny and unafraid, Comes up along a winding road the noise of the Crusade. Strong gongs groaning as the guns boom far, Don John of Austria is going to the war, Stiff flags straining in the night-blasts cold In the gloom black-purple, in the glint old-gold, Torchlight crimson on the copper kettle-drums, Then the tuckets, then the trumpets, then the cannon, and he comes. Don John laughing in the brave beard curled, Spurning of his stirrups like the thrones of all the world, Holding his head up for a flag of all the free. Love-light of Spain—hurrah! Death-light of Africa! Don John of Austria Is riding to the sea.

Mahound is in his paradise above the evening star, (Don John of Austria is going to the war.) He moves a mighty turban on the timeless houri's knees, His turban that is woven of the sunsets and the seas. He shakes the peacock gardens as he rises from his ease, And he strides among the tree-tops and is taller than the trees; And his voice through all the garden is a thunder sent to bring Black Azrael and Ariel and Ammon on the wing. Giants and the Genii, Multiplex of wing and eye, Whose strong obedience broke the sky When Solomon was king.
They rush in red and purple from the red clouds of the morn, From the temples where the yellow gods shut up their eyes in scorn; They rise in green robes roaring from the green hells of the sea Where fallen skies and evil hues and eyeless creatures be, On them the sea-valves cluster and the grey sea-forests curl, Splashed with a splendid sickness, the sickness of the pearl; They swell in sapphire smoke out of the blue cracks of the ground,— They gather and they wonder and give worship to Mahound. And he saith, "Break up the mountains where the hermit-folk can hide, And sift the red and silver sands lest bone of saint abide, And chase the Giaours flying night and day, not giving rest, For that which was our trouble comes again out of the west. We have set the seal of Solomon on all things under sun, Of knowledge and of sorrow and endurance of things done. But a noise is in the mountains, in the mountains, and I know The voice that shook our palaces—four hundred years ago: It is he that saith not 'Kismet'; it is he that knows not Fate; It is Richard, it is Raymond, it is Godfrey at the gate! It is he whose loss is laughter when he counts the wager worth, Put down your feet upon him, that our peace be on the earth." For he heard drums groaning and he heard guns jar, (Don John of Austria is going to the war.) Sudden and still—hurrah! Bolt from Iberia! Don John of Austria Is gone by Alcalar.

St. Michaels on his Mountain in the sea-roads of the north (Don John of Austria is girt and going forth.) Where the grey seas glitter and the sharp tides shift And the sea-folk labour and the red sails lift. He shakes his lance of iron and he claps his wings of stone; The noise is gone through Normandy; the noise is gone alone; The North is full of tangled things and texts and aching eyes, And dead is all the innocence of anger and surprise, And Christian killeth Christian in a narrow dusty room, And Christian dreadeth Christ that hath a newer face of doom, And Christian hateth Mary that God kissed in Galilee,— But Don John of Austria is riding to the sea. Don John calling through the blast and the eclipse Crying with the trumpet, with the trumpet of his lips, Trumpet that sayeth ha! Domino gloria! Don John of Austria Is shouting to the ships.
King Philip's in his closet with the Fleece about his neck (Don John of Austria is armed upon the deck.) The walls are hung with velvet that is black and soft as sin, And little dwarfs creep out of it and little dwarfs creep in. He holds a crystal phial that has colours like the moon, He touches, and it tingles, and he trembles very soon, And his face is as a fungus of a leprous white and grey Like plants in the high houses that are shuttered from the day, And death is in the phial and the end of noble work, But Don John of Austria has fired upon the Turk. Don John's hunting, and his hounds have bayed— Booms away past Italy the rumour of his raid. Gun upon gun, ha! ha! Gun upon gun, hurrah! Don John of Austria Has loosed the cannonade.

The Pope was in his chapel before day or battle broke, (Don John of Austria is hidden in the smoke.) The hidden room in man's house where God sits all the year, The secret window whence the world looks small and very dear. He sees as in a mirror on the monstrous twilight sea The crescent of his cruel ships whose name is mystery; They fling great shadows foe-wards, making Cross and Castle dark, They veil the plumèd lions on the galleys of St. Mark; And above the ships are palaces of brown, black-bearded chiefs, And below the ships are prisons, where with multitudinous griefs, Christian captives sick and sunless, all a labouring race repines Like a race in sunken cities, like a nation in the mines. They are lost like slaves that sweat, and in the skies of morning hung The stair-ways of the tallest gods when tyranny was young. They are countless, voiceless, hopeless as those fallen or fleeing on Before the high Kings' horses in the granite of Babylon. And many a one grows witless in his quiet room in hell Where a yellow face looks inward through the lattice of his cell, And he finds his God forgotten, and he seeks no more a sign— (But Don John of Austria has burst the battle-line!) Don John pounding from the slaughter-painted poop, Purpling all the ocean like a bloody pirate's sloop, Scarlet running over on the silvers and the golds, Breaking of the hatches up and bursting of the holds, Thronging of the thousands up that labour under sea White for bliss and blind for sun and stunned for liberty.
Vivat Hispania! Domino Gloria! Don John of Austria Has set his people free!
Cervantes on his galley sets the sword back in the sheath (Don John of Austria rides homeward with a wreath.) And he sees across a weary land a straggling road in Spain, Up which a lean and foolish knight for ever rides in vain, And he smiles, but not as Sultans smile, and settles back the blade…. (But Don John of Austria rides home from the Crusade.)

Is Trump going to send his glow in the darks to train insurgents or something.
I hope he turns around and tells the country to fuck off and breaks diplomatic ties
Apart from his possible faggotry what's wrong with that sentence?
Jack Garcia
The bloke hosting it spends the first 3 minutes explaining that Mr Hitler took inspiration from Fredrick's Prussia and because of that Fredrick has a bad name, but shouldn't because Prussia was a beacon of enlightenment and is much better than "the most repellent regime in history" so the historian wants to "reclaim" Fredrick. tl:dr it's revisionism
Quantum keep your machine clean as they have salt etc built in. Since we moved to quantum a few years back we have found they prolong the life of your dishwasher, clean perfectly (even glasses) and the plain ones don't have a silly pong. Hard to get excited about a dishwasher tablet i know but if you wonder if they are worth the extra few pennies…yes they are, use them and you'll stick with them.
We're spending £140 million on security, what's the fat nonce got?
Isaiah Allen
He was not Christian, he was a deist imo. He mocked organised religion constantly. He was an enlightenment monarch who believed in equal rights as long as they were his loyal subjects.
He was also beaten as a child for being effeminate, tried to run away from his Duchy with his best friend to escape his father, had painful haemorrhoids throughout his life, considered killing himself when he was forced to marry by his father, treated his wife terribly despite her doing nothing wrong. He wasn't exactly a strong personality.
As for a 'proud white man', he attempted to ally with Muslims and entreat the Turks to attack the christian Austrian Empire so that he could win a war against them, and when he saw Austria was weakened he immediately attacked to try and seize Silesia from them. He got hundreds of thousands of his countrymen on both sides killed all so that the house of Hohenzollern could rule over one ducal territory rather than the house of Hapsburg. He's also famous for saying that if soldiers could think, "not one of them would remain in the army."
There's also the fact that he wrote "Anti-Machiavel" and then proceeded to be one of the most warlike monarchs in the house's history.
Actually imagine being so fucked in the head that you use your own race as a pejorative in order to garner compliments from foreign races that hate you for being what you are.
Liam Morris
He's a complex figure, he was socially liberal for the time although still fairly anti-semitic, was beaten as a child and his own father threatened to kill him probably giving him untold psychological problems, he was most likely homosexual, he hated his own language, German, and stated that French was superior. He seemed to dislike the religion of his own subjects and mock it, letting his people see him as a great Protestant hero when it was simply an act to rally their support when in reality he was anything but.
Yet at the same time he took a relatively minor German kingdom and set it on the path to becoming the dominant country in Europe that it still is to this day. However he did so by killing hundreds of thousands of fellow white Europeans in arguably pointless unnecessary wars simply to increase his own nations power, and only succeeded through pure luck when the Russian Tsar died unexpectedly, and was replaced by a Prussophile who called off the war. He could've very easily destroyed Prussia completely if the Seven Years War had gone slightly differently.

Seriously, people say "eternal anglo" but fail to realise the true menace that stalks Europe, we should've balkinzed Germany after the Berlin wall came down.
"16 year old with connections to the family", you won't ever hear anymore about it.
iirc it's true in the US but only if you ignore per capita.
lmao
Grayson Anderson
Is that gangland stuff though? Most of the mass shootings on tv do seem to be white tbh (well maybe about half are).
Deism was big in that era, being the Masonic religion. They don't have any proper arguments against it except things like "Christians have persecuted us!" or "the punishments in the Old Testament are cruel!" as though they get to decide what righteousness is, rather than God deciding.
Also note that Christians believe that man caused the fall and our awful natural sitaution, but deists believe that God created a world with bone cancer in children and /then/ called everything "very good". It's a memi position that has basically died out in the public sphere.
Jason Cox
To clarify, by "it" I mean the set of "Christian fables" that Frederick mocks there.
