Kinda wish the billionaires of the world would at least bring back crowns. Like the cosplay aspect was one of the few fun parts.
At least King Charles is rocking the Star Wars villain look.
Damn that’s clean af ngl

New life goal acquired. Become a billionaire. Construct an absurdly lavish crown of solid gold and precious jewels - so lavish, in fact, that it makes the holy crown of the Roman Empire look as though it’s a paper crown from Burger King (home of the flame-broiled beesechussy). Wear this crown everywhere, every single day, in every public appearance. Set 1 billion aside to maintain your billionaire status, and live only off the interest to afford your Burger King sandwiches. Spend the remainder of your income (billions of it) on charities and other humanitarian causes. Contribute toward paying down or paying off entirely the debts of the poor and the working class. Buy Smuckers just to ensure that their jam continues being delicious and that the capitalists don’t fuck it up like they did Cadbury. Continue to act as a beacon of hope and good-will, but never stop wearing that crown until the day you die.
Look at me. I’m the emperor now!
I understand the war, the pain, the stress and all. But you don’t handle an ancient object like that… You should feel the importance of the thing for all the human people, as an extraordinary artifact… Average extra ignorant USer, moreover a soldier one… Bleah
Waaah, waaah, bad US man touched an object 80 years ago and that makes me sad for some reason. Go get some real problems to be upset about.
I wouldn’t invest too much in arguing against that person. I remember reading their distinct style of insisting on writing “USer” instead of “American” and I assure you, they are too obnoxious and stubborn to be worth the effort.
Eh. The president of the US can offend tens of nations with “shithole countries” remark, and I cannot refuse to indicate people from US with a word that should/could address an entire continent’s population? I cannot do it, simple as that
This is a real problem, as USer still do this kind of things today. And anyway bad mouthing USer is always something good 😉
I’d still rather be from the country that kicked Hitler’s bitch ass than the one whose leader’s lips were stapled to his ballsack until the Germans weren’t winning anymore. Where are your countrymen in that photo?
So the Russians then?
Italy, I believe they mean.
Correct.
Russia deserves credit for being willing to throw men into a meat grinder while the United States bankrolled her war effort and kept her from getting her shit kicked in by the Wehrmacht. And if you disagree with me, you disagree with Field Marshal Zhukov and are therefore obviously wrong.
Lol calm down, Russia do deserve credit they really dealt with a shit show, a lot of them died, the leader ship treated the troops as a meat grinder.
Maybe make less assumption and have a dialogue.
Not in frame, not touching historical artifact
Being as relevant as ever then. Go play some soccer or something.
Exactly, partigiani where extremely relevant.
It takes a ridiculous amount of privilege to think that this is even in the same universe as a real problem.
I wonder if you would write the same if it was an artifact from another culture.
I would. It’s not like the guy threw it on the ground and stomped on it. And when you’re fighting the nazis, honestly I don’t give a fuck if you make fun of some inbred douchebags fancy hat. At all.

Nah. I’m fine now
Bloody royalists
To be fair morale could not have been that high in one of the worst modern wars in world history…least he didn’t destroy it.
That I get, as I said. And yes, he didn’t destroy it at least
Fuck that, give it to BigStackD and let him melt it into a brick for fun.
Would you tell me what would be the difference between someone advocating the destruction of that artifact and taliban discussing the cannoning of Bamiyan’s Buddhas?
You should tell him that
Guess he’s dead

What?
His .45 is in a tanker holster, so I’m guessing that was his job.
Wearing crowns?
Glorious purpose.
That or a Monuments Man.
Look at me. I’m the pope now
The crown of the Holy Roman Empire was not for the pope but for the emperor. The name might be confusing but it’s basically the predecessor of Germany.
Listen Leeroy, I’ve been killing Nazis for 3 months now. How about instead of fact checking my joke you put your big city learning to good use and tell me which of them paintings over there is valuable.
Believe it or not, entirely edible.
We thought Mussolini died to the mob this whole time, but no
he died of envy.
Now that’s one way to wake up Heinrich and his legion of undead
He’s got a lot of rings on his left hand.
Tbf men used to wear jewelry more commonly than now
Rings, watches, what have you
In my head there’s an unsavory story involving dead nazis and marking his kill count.
unsavory
involving dead nazis
Sounds pretty wholesome to me, ngl.

Rich people do the weirdest shit. Why would anyone want to wear that?
They didn’t have Bentleys and Private Jets yet.
At least luxury cars are comfortable and fun to drive. This thing just looks uncomfortable and ugly with no utility.
I mean I sorta get it. Anyone wearing it is conveying that they can’t do anything practical or even tend to their own needs. Which means they have the resources that free them from it. Induced weakness to display strength.
Point is it still looks uncomfortable.
It’s not about the comfort, it’s about sending a message
All you people care about is land and castles, this Holy Roman Empire deserves a better class of Kaiser, and I am going to give it to them.
Proceeds to get bitch slapped by some random Corsican guy
Display of wealth and power seems to be the obvious answer
People and hats.
As Team Fortress 2 proves
Where’s that crown now?
According to Wikipedia, after the Nazis were defeated in Europe, the crown jewels were returned to Vienna by U.S. forces where they are still on display today in the Imperial Treasury.
Why is he sideways?
Does it still exist? When was it made? Very interesting.
