can't think too long about ww1 or i'll start losing. in france 900 to 1 000 soldiers died in average each day. each day. 8 million men went to battle when france only had 40 million inhabitants. i can't wrap my head around it.

What does so much violence do to society ? how do peaple deal with coming home from the battle field (that has no common mesure with previous battlefield) ? how do people deal with their loved ones traumatised, when they barely (if at all) have the words to described the trauma?

I don't even think you can have a peaceful political climate after war to such a scale

#every time i heard the numbers my thoughts circle back to taht #what if i was born a century before?#what if i had seen most of my male relatives and friends go to battle #to see one in five of them never come back #regarding my last remark #mass violence is one of the reasons for the political field being so fucking awful during the 30s #i mean after you fought during Verdun yeah going out and fist fighting in the streetdoesn't seem like a big step
