Summary
Dominique Pagani mentions Wilhelm II almost only through a remark attributed to him: at the end of the world, he would withdraw to Mecklenburg, because everything happens there later. He quotes it as early as 2017, in a session on the question of philosophizing between crisis and war, and notes then that Mecklenburg is the land of the Junkers1. He returns to it several times up to 2025, in sessions on different subjects: the idea of a "fresh and joyful" apocalypse2, Clouscard and the metamorphoses of class struggle3, and imaginary identity4. Most of the time he presents the remark as an attribution, in the conditional or with "it is attributed to him." The passages do not say what role the remark plays in each of his lines of reasoning. In addition, in a musicosophy session on Nietzsche against Wagner, it is a participant, not Dominique Pagani, who sees Nietzsche's philosemitism as opposition to Wilhelm II's social policy5.
