and Wilhelm II was very incompetent during the war
<:thistbh:598749331193069568>
in the last two years or so everything was managed by the Chancellor and the Army
Kaiser was just sort of there not exercising any power
the Russian Empire collapsed
in 1917
and making relatively useless suggestions
same thing happened in Russia
bruh this 'finders' story is nuts
new MM
also Japan while technically an abolute monarchy
the Emperor almost never exercised any real power
pretty much everything was done by the state apparatus
@Smoke pretty much pizza gate part 1
underground tunnels
and this is largely how it was in Japan since even like the 900's or so
a rape school
Conspiracy

where as in China it was the exact opposite, where the Emperor exercised direct power
Sex for favors
time to go boondock saints
that's why I wouldn't call Japan an Absolute Monarchy tbh
so for Mao it might be a cultural reason as well
if you look up say Qin Shi Huangdi
@Smoke aaaa all those ppl are dead fren your hunting ghosts

he basically did everything himself
Okay, I said they lasted for centuries. I didn't say they never collapsed. China isn't Socialist anymore. Soviet Union stopped being Socialist long before it collapsed. My point is, you give Communist dictators absolute power, they run shit into the ground. Why did Monarchs never go full commie, and centralise everything? And run shit into the ground? What was their main incentive to delegate tasks to others, give people more breathing room?
and he micromanaged all sorts of details
including things like mobilizing the army for war
same thing for other Emperors like Hongwu and Yongle, during the Ming Dynasty
well I'm sure there are many traffickers out there. I'm still learning the story
in fact neither Hongwu or Yongle ever had a prime minister
in China it is customary for everything to be one giant apparatus or bureaucracy
with the various ministers acting like an extension of the Emperor
usually when ministers had their own say
