That tracks for the old Fritz. But that picture annoys me. It shows somebody more Akin to Bismarck or Wilhelm II. instead of the very much beardless Frederick the Great and especially not with a Pickelhaube which is nearly a century later.

~~Plus where is his army corps of tall men?
Fritz isn’t complete without his collection of huge burly men. ~~
Oh wait that was his father

His father was the one with all the burly men? Freddy GOATs was the arts patron and military genius who made sure his troops had a uniform that they looked hot in. The man who both made Prussia into Prussia and Berlin into Berlin

The pastor of my local church used to say
“When your soul is no longer with you, when your body is returned to earth, Peter will judge you not on how many excuses you have, but on how many you need”
And even being an atheist, it stuck with me

Guy “Say Pete, do you have any good excuses for buying another guitar? I saw this really nice Les Paul and I don’t have a Les Paul yet, but the misses says I don’t need another guitar.”
St Peter “This is Heaven, you don’t need guitars here.”
Guy “Did my wife tell you to say that?”

Wait, are the AFD really stanning the gayest king in European history?
But also based af, I’d love it if Prussia had built pagan temples back then just to welcome various religions.

Same energy as the Nazis idolizing him.
Bootlickers rarely read the history they claim to be following in the footsteps of, lmao.
