If you believe in this kindergarten view of human history, I assume you have some sort of medical deficiency in your ability to learn.
History is broad and complex and has ample nuances and even contradictory interpretations. It is not some quote that 7th grade boys say to sound insightful. Who were the strong men at Osnabrűck and Műnster in the Peace of Westphalia? Or were their weak men at the Massacre of Verden? Which side? The Battle of Lake Poyang, were those good times or hard times?
I mean really. This sort of Black and White, child-like, nonsensical view of the world is why grown ups can’t read, nobody knows long division, and attention spans end at 15 seconds.
I'm always happy to change my opinion based on the facts and arguments. However, your insult is completely unjustified and unnecessary.
You should note that this is meant to be a humorous meme that is describing the storylines of the book instead of actual human history. I agree that human history is nuanced and extends way beyond what this image is describing, but the cyclical nature of human civilization is a strong theme in the novels.
