Wait that's not Jennifer Lawrence, that's Iron Chancellor Otto Von Bismarck who united the German states under Prussian rule.

Yes, but did you actually say that? Like aloud?
I did now.
I heard if you say it 3 times with the lights off while staring into a mirror he'll appear behind you.
I'd try that, but what do you feed a 19th century Prussian chancellor? I just don't think I have the resources to properly care for such a creature 🤷
What you need is a few good taters. Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew.
Give it to us raw and wriggling. You keep nasty chips!*
*The statements of Gollum do not reflect the opinions of Viking_Hippie who, if anything, likes chips far too much.
I still find it curious how a South American tuber ends up in a pseudo-medieval alternate European magical land.
I dare you to try it!
This is where John Oliver would jump in to say: except that's not who this is bc one of them is fake.
And then continue with: except that's a lie bc actually, two are fake!
Never trust a man with two first names.
"Von" isn't a first name, it's German for of/from. Same with the Dutch "Van", the Italian "da", the French "de" (though that one might mean "the ", I'm not sure) and several other examples from different languages
What about three first names? Does the third one cancel out the second, or is the effect cumulative?
The Thomas family in my town always names their first son Thomas.
Thomas Thomas the fifth is the most recent heir to this sobriquet.
It took me a minute, they really resemble each other pretty closely. She probably gets confused with Bismarck alot. I bet people are telling her all the time, "Has anyone ever told you that you look like Otto von Bismarck?" and everytime she has to pretend like it's the first time she's ever heard that and thank them for the compliment, but inside she's like, "Goddamnit."

No, those are 3 paintings and one photo of Otto von Bismarck, you silly Billy!
What if someone takes a picture of a painting? (It's a strange scenario, I know.)
Still not a photo of Bismarck but a photo of a painting
You should have put at least one actual picture of Otto Von Bismarck alongside these pictures of Jennifer Lawrence to fool us.
She's a national treasure
If that's true why hasn't Nicholas Cage stolen her?
Also, not all of them are photos.
A photo of a painting is still a photo
Well, a photo of painting is clearly NOT a photo of Jennifer Lawrence.
Actually it's the hunter from Jumanji
Pickelhaube is best haube
If your girl wears a pickelhaube and united the German states, that's not your girl
Bismarck had a plan. Bismarck always had a plan
Found the Extra History viewer!
Still would.
what a punchable face
Not enough people recognize that the guy who directly enabled two world wars deserves a punch in the face
What? How? Many say had Bismarck lived long enough, he could have prevented the First World War. He orchestrated the Scramble for Africa to prevent another war of European empires with each other. But that being said, he could have prevented a war at the expense of non-European nations. Bismarck is a boon for Europe but not for the rest of the world.
Leaving aside for the moment his role in colonialism, because only white people matter to WW1 and 2 apparently and fighting over African and Asian colonies had nothing to do with it, he hated democracy and directly enabled the German obsession with totalitarianism. Obviously the Emperors had their own hands in that, but let's be real, they were idiots.
And, honestly, it's not real complicated to note that without Germany and the network of alliances he helped create you don't get two world wars started by Germany.
Now, sure, as a smart person he knew he had to maintain the alliance with Russia to have a balance of power, unlike Wilhelm Jr, but his obsession with top down control, based on his own competence, is what put the reins of ultimate power into the hands of two blithering, monstrous and monstrously arrogant morons.
Bismarck bit Mark until Mark bit Bismarck
Ahhh uncle Otto. We always just called him Von he hated it but was a good sport.
ah yes, the madman that ruined germany and paved the way for hitler to gain power. cute!
Ruined Germany? More like created it. He also invented the social security we use in Europe until today, since he recognised social unequality as an issue. To quote him:
The social insecurity of the worker is the real cause of their being a peril to the state.
The whole matter centres in the question, Is it the duty of the State, or is it not, to provide for its helpless citizens? I maintain that it is its duty, that it is the duty not only of the “Christian State,” as I ventured once to call it when speaking of “practical Christianity,” but of every State.
Bismarck also wanted to avoid something like WW1. He was a strong believer in maintaining good relationship with the Tzarist Russia, because he was very concerned of Germany being encircled in a conflict.
social security is a scam. its constant need for new bodies to tax is why immigration must always increase as population declines. if the population would fall, the system will collapse.
if germany hadn't unified, how would hitler have been able to gain power over it?
It's not a scam - it's a system older than 100 years that was built around different societal parameters that exist today. It worked well in its time, but society changed without anyone adapting the system to it. There would be also ways to make it (more) sustainable, but as usual implementing the solution was delayed so long it's very hard to do so now...
As for your 2nd point, really? It's so reaching I won't even bother with it.
