War

[Optimized Life]

Studying the great war late at night , feel like I found something lost within me

Men used to go to war 

The poles & slavs were genocidally oppressed 

Yet never lost the will, never lost their might

Men used to go to war, people used to fight  

Had to remind myself, of that will to fight 

Studying the entire war in all its pain and glory every night

For many the battle for survival, could not be won

But that last fight for pride and glory weighed a ton 

Warsaw uprising, they knew on sheer logistics they would die 

But they went down swinging anyway, in the spirit of their peoples pride

Alexander Pechersky, the biggest hero in my eyes 

Against all the odds, he outmanoeuvred the guards and liberated 50 lives

3 beers down, stressed, many neg emotions udnerlyig my mind and have had a long weeek that has pulled of my mental resources, parden any waffle or nonsensicality i wil wtire some minutes ok 
I was an A student in history , but I missed the real gold 

I crammed for like a week wrote with fluidity and somehow got an A 

But I didn't see the value in history, the beauty in it, I barely even looked at WW2, I never learnt much, i didn't gain perspective on it

I dont even care about history in general, I just like WW2 and the periods leading to it

WW2 alone was such a vast, immense, pioneering, globalizing era that you can learn like 50-80% of life from, even "self improvement", lmao doing ur stupid morning ritual and listening to david goggins it's all bullshit, No. I learn from men who found discipline in war, who found optimism in war, who found resourcefulness in a nazi camp, who rallied and turned the minds of the most demoralized public through oratory and charisma, learn about affirmations and subconscious programming from hitler and Goebbels, learn about the power of fear and terror from Stalin, gain perspective on your problems, "problems"

what a fucking time to be alive man   

From all angles, that boosted science and technological innovation, the war economy, 

Then all the strategy and political manoeuvring, propaganda, imperialism, ideology, power and dictatorships,  the true nature of all the fickle alliances and Mussolini's desperate "pact" with Hitler, and all the frightening notorious mfs like Himmler, and the dirlewanger brigade, even Stalin arguably worse than Hitler, the paranoia of Stalin and hitler and how stalin held a massive nation under his grip for so long, by an intangible system of national terror and obedience 

How close the nazis came close to winning and dominating entire europe, how Churchills leadership and oratory galvanized a demoralized British to fight alone against the nazis, who globally had the largest army at the tim'se, and trailblazing tactics that had already crippled the allies. How the nazis were on track to outpace the world economically, geographically and militarily, building super jets, even nuclear weapons 

The insatiable genocidal insanity of hitler - he even directed resources away from the war economy (as germany was losing) just to collect another 450K Bulgarian jews, round them all up in a few weeks and dead, and the frightening logistical efficiency of this, the industrialized bureaucratic genocide of the nazi regime

Imperialism ideology occult nationalism 

These ideas were probably conceptualized from WW2

Then from the human angle, all the suffering and

History is the ultimate meta subject encompassing all other subjects, as interwoven components that interact and reveal themselves naturally within a grounded reality

[Optimized Life]

A geek studies history without end, fleeing into a fictional portal to evade the real, present world he inhabits. 

A strong man takes inspiration and draws lessons from it (by perhaps zooming into the impressive traits and skills of a specific individual) ... and draws a line and comes back to reality, and his goals.

Oskar Schindler

So tempted to write about this guy 

A flawed man, but a hero in the end
