the thing is… geopolitics are just highschool cliques expanded out. if you had a bad time in highschool (hint, everyone did, even the popular kids) congrats, you understand how the world works. that’s all it ever has ever actually been. our most poorly adjusted people become in charge of countries and enact what’s been done to them to everyone else out of a sense of being wronged even if they were rich and popular in school because their daddy never loved them
