Yeah. It seems like Germany really shoots itself in the foot there.Another question: why does Germany almost always invite the Caucasus states into the Reichspakt now? It happens almost every game that I’ve observed since the latest update. Even the Don-Kuban Union, which basically has no legitimacy—as shown by the fact that it essentially always returns to Russia when a referendum is held—is invited in.

They could (hypothetically) negotiate with a more amiable Russia to only have a single-front (assuming Russia adheres to it) by seeling out some number of the Eastern allies, (maybe "sell out" Ukraine but provide them something to delay the Russians) to avoid that. Russia might eventually take over all of those and then backstab them, but that'd be a "better" process than Germany immediately getting itself into a two front war.
In my experiences, Third Internationale still is "winning" even without the second front. I've only seen Germany win with one front when they had extra time to prepare due to the Entente fighting the Internationale. I think Germany would win, but I've yet to see the war stay one one front.Especially since Germany really can’t afford to send a couple million troops east, even with the Ukrainians, Finns, Belarusians, etc helping out. Not when you’ve got a dangerously revanchist enemy faction itching for the slightest opportunity to hit you while you are down. The older version of the mod had a deal where Germany would surrender Ukraine and Belarus to Russia in return for Russia staying out of the war— I can see why they took it out(Third Internationale really needs the second front to have any chance of winning) but that always just made sense to me. Germany wouldn’t want to give up those lands, of course, but better the Russians in Kiev than the French in Berlin.
Since there are no Nazis in KR, how would you describe life for German Jews in the German Empire? Do they have any lobby groups or associations?

Normalized low-grade discrimination and casual bigotry, focus of hate for the ultra-right, but not as much legal discrimination anymore. Probably Germany and France are on similar levels.Since there are no Nazis in KR, how would you describe life for German Jews in the German Empire? Do they have any lobby groups or associations?

Russia is probably a lot worse due to the White victory.
I believe that the new Savinkov lore has him pulling a Kristallnacht expy, though I honestly kinda preferred the old lore which made him a different and interesting kind of evil.Russia is probably about to go into kristallnacht level antisemitism, in 1900 russia was THE most anti semite country in europe and only shut down the pogroms in 1905
Most of the anti semitic myths come from the russian whites, even "The protocols" fake book come from it, the only thing that didn't made russia go kristallnacht yet or restart the pogroms is because it is a democracy and not a dictatorship by one of the white generals

I sent a request on the git for Kyrill Romanov to be removed as Tsar for the same reason Gabrielle D'Anuzzio was removed, he's just too old to be crowned and rule for a year
The idea is that you crown Vladimir III directly, and his father is on the coronation as a guest of honour and dies shortly after
I would add that the Devs have grouped a lot of German Jews in the "Deutsche Organisation der Internationale," an explicitly pro-French revolutionary socialist and banned party [1]. With Rosa Luxemburg, Paul Levi, Kurt Eisner, and Eugen Leviné as prominent members of a perceived fifth-columnist group, attitudes in the Kaiserreich could still be very discriminatory. Even more moderate and/or affiliated parties are not immune, if the progress reports are any indication. Rudolf Rocker (not Jewish but big in Jewish Anarchism; it's complicated), Gustav Landauer, and Erich Mühsam run the "Freie Vereinigung deutscher Gewerkschaften" (Free Association of German Trade Unions). So the OTL Weimar-era German conceptualization of Jews is very possible, especially if the "Deutsche Vaterlandspartei" (AKA "totally not the DNVP, but yeah they love Kurt von Schleicher and hate parliamentarianism, why do you ask?") is apparently a mainstream German party.Normalized low-grade discrimination and casual bigotry, focus of hate for the ultra-right, but not as much legal discrimination anymore. Probably Germany and France are on similar levels.

I'm not referring to Nazi-era attitudes, or even late-Weimar, but rather to the potential salience of the historical stereotype of monolithically suspect group loyalty. With parties like the DNVP/DVP relevant in the scenario, it's entirely possible the Kaiserreich's circumstances are conducive to an inflammation of accusatory rhetoric. As you say, I wouldn't expect it to coalesce around something as coherent as OTL's "stab in the back" mentality, but instead would posit the possibility of creeping paranoia as the most radical parties in the empire's Overton window appropriate the image of pro-Internationale figures to publicly justify their preexisting biases and explicit intentions to formally disenfranchise minority groups.I REALLY find extremely hard to achieve the same level as OTL, especially if Germany won the war, the antisemitism skyrocketed like that as a excuse for german defeat (such as it did through the russian whites)
The high number of german jews on left winger parts might be because they are in fact left wingers, it is like bavarians on a catholic party since bavaria is a conservative region
