    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.”

    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!

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

      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.

          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.

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