King Charles II Was Hiding a Nightmare Within

King Charles II was the last hope of the Spanish Habsburg Dynasty, which had ruled an ever-expanding Spain for over a century—and he wasn’t much to hope for. A victim of decades of close inbreeding, from the day he was born Charles wasn’t expected to live. When his rule did come, it was bitter, brief, and doomed everything it touched.

Note to define inbreeding and recessive genes: from Google AI: "Recessive genes only show a trait if an individual inherits two copies of that gene, one from each parent. This is in contrast to dominant genes, which only need one copy to be expressed. Inbreeding increases the chances of two related individuals passing on the same rare recessive genes, which can lead to a higher probability of offspring displaying harmful recessive traits or diseases."

1. Can you spare us 15 minutes and just tell us what they found?

2. You prefer your videos with spoilers for shallow understanding?

What if the only joke you knew from Groucho Marx was the one that went:

"I heard your wife went to the South Sea Islands. Jamaica?"

"No, it was her idea."

I would have spared you the whole film but you'd have no idea what it was about.

But, to each his own.

3. On the right side of D.U. homepage are videos - every day ---- clickbait titles:

"Russia is losing the war.

China is in economic collapse.

Trump is legally fucked,
...............going into dementia,
...............losing Maggot support,
............... physically dying,
...............losing popular support

and on and on." Most of the time, the video is of somebody wanting to earn money or Youtube fame by taking 20 minutes to say something that could have been summarized In, say, 45 seconds.


There have been D.U. threads on this in the past several months. This, to the point that many of us have stopped clicking on any videos. Others have taken time to watch these posts and then summarize them for others, so as not to have people wasting time on nonsense.

Once in a while, somebody posts something of value that gets directly to the point. Yours may have been one of them and if so, I apologize but I hope you understand the background to my response to your posted video.

5. I've watched a few of these videos.

They seem to be partially AI generated, and mostly rehash things already known. Mostly meh, some people may find them interesting.
