I'm not saying they were THE problem in WWI, I'm saying they're an existential threat to freedom. In the West

You don't know how it would have been if WW1 would have been won by Germany, nobody can. But I think that's kinda improbable.

Especially since Germany had a violent transition from Monarchy to Democracy, not a natural one like Britain has (and they're more a threat to freedom right now than Germany as they are a couple of years ahead)...

so the question is how germany would have looked if it had a natural transition from Monarchy to Democracy and not a forced/violent one due to war.

end especially how our constitution would have looked like. Because the Constitution made in 1949 was ment to be temporary.

the Problem right now is that we have a gouvernment that was raised in Communist Germany and it looks like the Political elite trys to bring back the garbare system from the east to the new, united germany. If germany would have won WW1, so they could possibly have also conquered russia, wich would mean that Comminism never happened.

and China would be real chinese and not this russian communist shadow shithole without a real identity.

And then we'd have an autocratic super state Germany with their shit ideology. Something about Continentals just makes then secede all power to the state. Germany and France for that matter can't be trusted to uphold freedom.

What would be their Ideology then? 😉

Something like the American Patriot, just in Germany? 😉

No, every single time Germany tries to government, they're authoritarian dogs

Yes. You speak like there's some inherent problem with authoritarianism.

Governments have been run for millenia off authoritarian models.

Lol

I'm with Hans Hermann Heppe on that one. Kings might be bad (but if they are they're killed) but democracy only allows bad people to gain power.

Trump might be the exception

If you want a fine doctor, you do not get your community together and vote on who should be a doctor.

You gather individuals and put them through rigorous training, instill them with a universal code of ethics, and institute extensive self-policing and an egalitarian system of promotions.

And be honest: Can a Monarchy be any worse than a Merkel/May gouvernment? Or the Swedish one?

ye

Absolutely.

But, like, not usually.

You'd have to have an incredibly consolidated central position with a very marginalized aristocracy.

Oh crap, I totally forgot Josef S. and the Chairman...

or some Theocratic shit.

but then again, those types usually come to power due to violent actions that killed many people.

like a Revolution.

a Monarchy seemed to happen naturally.

kinda like a village elder, just on a bigger scale

And imperial Germany was a pretty new state anyway as most of Germany was split for centurys. Only Bismarck united Germany a couple of decades earlier. before that most of the German Power was Prussia.

Austrian Emperor: *HARUMPH*

"Upstart Prussians and their pretensions of legitimacy."

In the United States, can you legally purchase a long gun in another state (one in which you are not a resident)?

Maryland’s a butt about guns, so I wonder whether I can purchase a long gun in North Carolina & keep it there (in a summer home).

Federally yes, last I heard, but local laws may apply

Probably best to look it up proper beforehand

maybe phone the FFL you're planning to purchase from

I'm not an American, much as I'd like that, so best to take my advice with a grain of salt

Yeah, some states as long as you have ID its good.
I think some, it has to be local ID.
Some you only need local ID for private purchases

Two most messed up things in USA, drinking laws and gun laws.
