Germans don't know their own leader

[Locutus]

Our Prime-Minister, though that's just a cover-up to hide his real identity

The same way everyone could know who Hillary Clinton is but have no idea what committee she sits on in the Senate, I suppose.

I could tell you that she is a Senator from New York and I could also pick George Bush out of a photo line up.

White people with brown hair, those haircuts, and round glasses, are being persecuted everywhere for this, I see.

Hi, Wombat.

[Ecthy]

I wonder if they know who the current heir to the Hohenzollern throne (Brandenburg and Prussia and therefore Germany) is. I know I don't.

[Ecthy]

DC looks like that too IIRC

@ Ecthelion

I dont even know what you are talking about. Not to speak of any persons.
The Hoh-en-zoll-ern thro-ne? wtf is that supposed to be, and why is it important?

Are you representative of the average American's knowledge of politics?

Don't you think it's important to know the names of your worst parasites' progeny ?
(well, btw, now that the Count of Paris is dead, I have no idea who might pretend to the throne of France. I wonder if I'll manage to understand politics with such ignorance )

[Ecthy]

Spiffor, do you know who I'm talking about? It's our Kaiser goddammit

96% recognised him as "Gerhard Schröder"? It's truly strange that half of those didn't know what he does.

I can recognise loads of politicians from all different times, BTW

[DanielXY]

Do away with all those backward feudals! Start with the Kaiser!

[Spiffor]

Ecthi :
I know he's your Kaiser, that's precisely why I call him your 'worst parasite'... The only good thing that came from the Hohenzollern rule was Otto von Bismarck

BTW, after a quick google search, I have found info about France's royal family. Behold the King and the Queen of France !


(No, I am not kidding)
Edit : gah, the pic was much smaller on the site

[Ecthy]

I've once seen some interview with that guy who called himself "prince of Prussia", might have been him! or some imperson, who knows, but the family should certainly be accounted for, and I think they moved back at some point after the war

[Ecthy]

let me try and find our monarchs! the Austrians can meanwhile look for some Habsburg bums, the Russians just lean back and drink comme vodka

[Ecthy]

the current heir to imperial Germany, royal Prussia as well as the electoral principality of Brandenburg.

[Spiffor]

Well, he's younger than our parasite. Are his parents dead already, or do your princes actually abdicate for younger studs when they're beginning to rot ?

I know how to what we should compare our parasites ! The French royal couple is exactly looking like retired teachers !
