Famous for being President during World War One and conceiving the League of Nations. I've noticed a lot of people don't seem to like Wilson 
Perhaps !nonchuds hate him for racism? 
Maybe !chuds hate him for prototypical globohomo viewpoints? 
What does the educated dramanaut think?

Is it really dramatic? Then just put it in the main feed.
Is it chuddy? (Be honest.) Then /h/chudrama.
Is it from back in old boomer times or before?
This is the place for it.
Feel free to talk about history here at
whatever level of seriousness you feel like.

Started income tax, the fed, and tried to create a peaceful Europe by really fricking hating Germans (this didn't work).
My chudpinions are implicit from this.

About domestic economic stuff, I have no comment because I don't know much about that. I only spout off about stuff when I know about it. But I'd love to read your opinion.

Oh I don't think you would. It's the vaguest most ignorant anti-tax, anti-inflation opinion. If you screamed at me that it was necessary for US 20th century dominance I'd deny and claim that we'd have achieved greater prosperity without it. Both are obviously necessary to fund the behemoth that the federal government and welfare state has become but I don't like those things.

You're totally butt-backwards on his kraut policy. His policy on the war was no winners, no losers. He wanted to be extremely lenient to the krauts. The French, who had been (in many cases literally) r*ped wanted vengeance. So les bosches begged to surrender to America instead because Wilson was promising that we would just have democracy and paradise everywhere.

Did he hate Germans as much as the French? I thought he was relatively lenient on them compared to the European Entente powers.
I've heard part of why Germany came to the peace table is because they thought they would be agreeing to Wilson's points. Granted I'm too lazy to double check this.

Yes that's true. The Germans knew they had lost and saw Wilson as their best hope for... well for not having the French taking over which would have been really ugly. Wilson had been trying to mediate some kind of compromise for a while, so when the Germans realized that they were within days of total military collapse, they decided that actually Wilson's plan was great.
