    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’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 🤷

                I still find it curious how a South American tuber ends up in a pseudo-medieval alternate European magical land.

    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!

        What about three first names? Does the third one cancel out the second, or is the effect cumulative?

        “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

        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.”

    You should have put at least one actual picture of Otto Von Bismarck alongside these pictures of Jennifer Lawrence to fool us.

        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.

            Hmm… I see where you’re coming from. But it is reductionist to say Bismarck’s idea of creating a complex web of alliances to prevent another war ironically led to the two world wars. Remember that this complex system of alliance is meant to deter one empire declaring war to another. It was 19th century’s deterrence model as is nuclear deterrence in 20th century to today. These two deterrence models are meant to… well… deter. Many systems designed are meant to work-- until it doesn’t. The British intelligence at the time (incorrectly) predicted that the assassination of Franz Ferdinand would not lead to a major war.
