WORLD WAR FIVE: GENERATION WAR.
You probably think there have only been two world wars. But if you do then you are wrong. There have been five world wars in recorded human history. This isn't because of some Jewish / Illuminati / Freemason / Russian conspiracy theory. I'm not saying aliens, but ... NO, it's not aliens.
It's because you didn't read enough history. If you were like me you learned about the global wars in bits and pieces. As in "the French and Indian war" as opposed to "the actual second global war", which is what my neck of the woods called it. Meanwhile in India… and the Caribbean…

1. The Thirty Years War (1618-1648): Although commonly regarded as a European conflict, the Thirty Years War had significant global implications. The war started in Bohemia, now part of the Czech Republic, and spread throughout Europe, involving major powers such as France, Spain, Sweden, and Denmark. The war's effects were felt across three continents, with military campaigns fought in present-day Germany, Italy, Austria, Hungary, and parts of modern-day Belgium, Netherlands, and Switzerland. The war's consequences were devastating, leading to the deaths of approximately eight million people and reshaping the religious and political landscape of Europe. It led to a mass migration of Europeans to what is now called the Americas. No religious wars of extermination in the 1600s means no America and no seperation of Church and State there, just in case you are wondering why a very religious society is also secular. That generation remembered what it meant to have a religious war: religious war is total war whether you call it Crusade, Jihad, or Hussites.
2. The Seven Years War (1756-1763): This conflict, also known as the French and Indian War, was fought primarily in North America and Europe. However, its ramifications extended far beyond these regions. The war was fought between the British and the French empires, with both sides seeking dominance over colonial territories. The conflict spanned multiple continents, including battles fought in India, Africa, and the Caribbean. Its outcome led to the signing of the Treaty of Paris, which granted Britain control over Canada and parts of North America, while also establishing the concept of neutrality in international relations.
3. The Napoleonic Wars (1789-1815): Named after Napoleon Bonaparte, the French military leader who played a central role in the conflicts, these wars were a series of global conflicts that engulfed much of Europe, North Africa, and parts of Asia. The wars had far-reaching consequences, including the establishment of the French Empire, the fall of monarchies, and the redrawing of national borders. The Napoleonic Wars also witnessed the rise of nationalism, a phenomenon that would shape global politics for centuries to come.
4. World War I (1914-1918): Known as the Great War, this conflict was sparked by the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and quickly escalated into a global struggle involving numerous nations from different continents. Fighting took place in Europe, Africa, and parts of Asia, with the war's impact felt across the globe. The war's consequences were profound, leading to the downfall of empires, the rise of communism, and setting the stage for World War II.
5. World War II (1939-1945): The deadliest conflict in human history, World War II involved almost every nation on Earth, with fighting taking place on multiple continents. The war began in Europe but soon expanded to include countries from Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Its consequences were catastrophic, with estimates suggesting that over sixty million people lost their lives. The war's legacy continues to shape global politics, economies, and cultures today.
These five conflicts meet the criteria of global wars, with impacts extending beyond regional or continental boundaries. They demonstrate the complex interconnections in global affairs and the ways in which localized conflicts can rapidly escalate into larger, global struggles. Understanding these conflicts as world wars provides valuable insights into the nature of international relations, the evolution of geopolitical structures, and the enduring legacies of past conflicts. Recognizing the scope and complexity of these conflicts enables us to better assess potential threats and opportunities in an increasingly interconnected world.
Why does it matter? Well, if you want to prevent world war three -- too late! If you want to prevent world war six welcome aboard.
Why this periodicity?
Remember how I earlier pointed out the colonists in what is now the USA had lived experiences and biographical memories of the mass murder that is a religious war? In a religious war you are fighting for the immortal soul, thus killing does not matter, and the enemy is literally demonically possessed so ... kill 'em all, let god sort it out! Guess what? The current generation of people living in the USA have at best a secondary experience of religious war, trying to pacify various Islamists, which is rather different from burn the village to the ground and slaughter their heathen children or let them starve or burn their village to the ground did I mention torture and literal witch hunts?
Since the current generation of U.S. voters really has no significant lived experience of religious wars (Yazidi do...) they do not understand their desired religious reich would quickly turn into something like a slightly less horrible version of the "Islamic State" and it "Caliphate". If that doesn't resonate, go read The Handmaid's Tale.
A similar historical versus biographaical memory haunts wars.
GENERATION IV IS GENERATION WAR.
The periodicity of global wars appears to be around one century. While there are many factors that contribute to this phenomenon. One key reason lies in the way generations pass on their experiences and attitudes towards war to their descendants.
It is common for members of a war generation to warn their children about the horrors they experienced during wartime. These stories of sacrifice, loss, and suffering are passed down through families, communities, and societies, serving as cautionary tales about the devastating consequences of war. Children grow up hearing these accounts and are instilled with a deep sense of respect for peace and a desire to avoid conflict whenever possible.
As these children become parents themselves, they continue to share these stories with their own offspring. Grandparents tell their grandchildren about the wars they fought in, the friends they lost, and the hardships they faced. These stories serve as powerful reminders of the terrible costs of war and reinforce the importance of peaceful solutions to conflicts.
However, as time passes and memories fade, the urgency and significance of these warnings begin to diminish. The further removed from the original experience, the less personal and tangible the consequences of war become. Eventually, the stories of war become little more than distant historical events, lacking the emotional resonance and immediacy they once held.
This gradual erosion of historical memory is particularly evident when considering the fourth generation, or "Generation IV," born decades after the last global conflict. Those belonging to this generation did not live through the traumatic events of World War II or the Cold War; they only know of these conflicts through secondary sources, such as textbooks, movies, or family stories.
While members of Generation IV may intellectually understand the devastating effects of war, they lack the visceral connection to these events that their ancestors possessed. Without the benefit of direct experience or the fear of repeating past mistakes, younger generations may feel less inclined to prioritize peace and diplomacy.
Furthermore, the passage of time can lead to a sense of invincibility among younger generations. As they grow up in a world without the constant threat of war, they may begin to take peace for granted and underestimate the likelihood of another global conflict occurring. This complacent attitude can manifest itself in various ways, such as decreased investment in defense spending, reduced support for international cooperation, or a general disinterest in foreign policy matters.
Regrettably, this cycle of forgetting and complacency has historically repeated itself, contributing to the periodic outbreak of global wars. Each new generation must relearn the lessons of the past, often through painful experience, before realizing the importance of maintaining peace and stability.
To break this cycle, it is crucial for educators, policymakers, and community leaders to actively work towards preserving historical memory and promoting peace education. By sharing personal accounts of war, providing access to primary sources, and fostering dialogue between generations, we can help ensure that the horrors of war remain vivid and relevant in the minds of young people. Additionally, encouraging critical thinking, empathy, and cross-cultural understanding can equip younger generations with the tools needed to navigate complex global issues and avoid resorting to violence.
In conclusion, the periodicity of global wars can be attributed, in part, to the cyclical nature of historical memory and the way generations pass on their experiences to their descendants. As time passes, the lived experience of war fades, and the urgency of peaceful solutions subsides. Therefore, it is essential to proactively preserve historical memory and promote peace education to prevent the repetition of past mistakes and ensure a safer, more harmonious world for future generations. Ultimately, remembering the devastating costs of war remains our greatest weapon against the destructive forces of conflict.
Remember! "Generation IV is Generation War". Don't be generation IV!
This is Part I of a II part essay... part of preventing world war six is destroying Vampire Putin. )
Here’s how.
RUSSIA BURNS. GET USED TO IT.
If only we had someone fluent in Chinese who knew Marxist Leninist Maoist ideology so thoroughly that we could get China to stab Russia in the back....欢迎光临!
Remember when I recommended Ukraine lure Russian units into ambushes?
Why yes, I AM BUSH lol! I am not a sold i am bush! xAXAXA
Remember when I recommended targeting Russian command structure?
Remember when I advised attacking oil, cyberattacks on Russian administration, and attacks to foment coup and revolution in Russia?

We're gearing up for more sales to Ukraine and Israel, Sweden too.
Oh: Did I just imply there's already a sale to Ukraine?
Don't worry volks, totally not nuclear capable, we have no idea how to build nukes here in Germany all we can do is copy and can't innovate, honest
Chomsky is wrong of course. Chomsky only speaks 3 languages (English, French, Hebrew) two of which are very close. The reason Chomsky could imagine there being only one global grammar (LOL) is because at one point it is very likely that there was only one human language, due to two population bottlenecks, each of which reduced the human population to 20,000 or fewer people. These two bottlenecks are why we can find cognates. It's not the inherent structure of the human brain that results in linguistic similarity, and there are sooooo many differences between grammars that Chomsky's idea of a universal generative grammar is ludicrous.
You may notice that after his Ph.D. Chomsky stopped working on linguistics and went into ultra left political activism at which he was fairly ineffective despite being somewhat famous. "Failing Upwards".
Briefly: some languages conjugate, others don't. Some languages have particles, others don't. Sentence structure varies from fixed (Chinese) to flexible (Russian). Some languages are SVO others SOV. Some languages strictly distinguish nouns from verbs, others allow any verb to be a noun (German) or don't necessarily have verby (Chinese) 很 is an adjective or a verb. 在 is a preposition or a verb. LOL. Meanwhile some languages don't have articles.
I recommend not to waste ones time on Chomsky. And don't be a linguistic prescriptivist.
