Yup. I think people realize that Kaiser Wilhem was a jerk. But he was not a madman, and he was not an ideologue. If Germany had won WWI and if France and Russia had lost, the whole aftermath of that would have been negligible and the 20th century would have avoided the nightmare of Bolshevism and the nightmare of Nazism.
As if France, and England were much better.
And don’t get me started on Belgium, after what Leopold did in The Congo.
