We know all about Trump, migration, the EU, Israel and all those international issues. But what crazy stupid thing is unique to the nutjobs in your country?
Germany: As you might have heard, we lost WW2 and were under allied occupation for a while with the country being split in two and being renamed. The old “Deutsches Reich” is no more. As you also might have heard, our Kaiser stepped down in 1918. Except: Some people who are great at brain stuff decided that all of that was not done in a completly legal way and that the german empire is still around. And since there is currently no Kaiser around, the position is vacant and that is a great opportunity to crown yourself! Therefore we have several kings and kaisers around and also some people that are claiming to be the successor of the allied army.
All the successors are frauds! If you read the Concordat of Worms from 1122, it says that the holy roman empire must be ruled together by the Pope and the Kaiser, and not the Kaiser alone!
Wrong empire. The Holy Roman Empire was dissolved 60 years before Germany unified as the German Empire.
Germany: The extrem right thinking that we are self flagellating, because we have memorials about the atrocities commited under the Nazi regime. What they don’t get: Normal people don’t identify with the Nazis, so when you talk about self flagellation it is very telling about your identity.
Woah, I’ve never seen it that way. Thanks for the new perspective.
Brexit I guess. I haven’t lived in the UK for 30 years so I try and get over it, but…
I guess there are still some people who think it’d be a good idea to try and get Karelia back from Russia. That aside, most fringe things are not that unique I think.
