Old Europe Nostalgia Thread

[jorb]

ITT: We embrace and remember the glory of old Europe -- before the dark times, before the Emperor -- as it stood as the Great, Christian civilization at the apex of its accomplishments. Nothing after WWI allowed. Obv. no socialism, liberalism, multiculturalism or other evil/ugliness/stupidity.

Löwendenkmal

The Lion of Lucerne commemorates the brave sacrifice/defensive action of the Royal Swiss Guards (massacred by the Paris mob) in defense of the French Royal family during the revolution. Described by Mark Twain as "the most mournful and moving piece of stone in the world". The inscription reads "HELVETIORUM FIDEI AC VIRTUTI" translated as "To the loyalty and bravery of the Swiss".

Silence, knave! The Emperor was the last man to bravely hold a sword in defense of Christian Europe, and I will not have you slandering his good memory in my nostalgia thread. The fact that he was bested and betrayed by the forces of international anglo-french high-finance and bolshevism is not to be held against him. The House of Hohenzollern knows no shame in that man.
