His Imperial Majesty Karl Von Habsburg is the rightful heir to

OP disqualifies himself from posting by capitalizing the von like a colonial peasant.

I believe he could have some political influence if he wasn't so ugly.

>Holy
>Roman
>Empire

Ironically the antipapal germanic confederation elected its "emperor", so that would make angela merkel the official "emperor" of the now, but it is such a bullshit country anyway it doesn't really matter.

Modern Germany has no connection to the HRE.

It was not particularly holy in any sense of the word; it was not Roman at all, seeing as the Romans never even settled the heartlands that would comprise the >H>R>E's largest dominions, nor did its people inherit Roman customs or even consider themselves Romans, nor were any of its institutions direct off-spring of older Roman institutions.

And lastly, it wasn't even an Empire. It was a confederacy, if even that.

Being ugly is a Habsburg tradition

Are you implying that he was good looking?

>>2070871
Are you implying he's not?

>>2070370
Possibly, were it not for the fact that he's a bleeding heart internationalist cuck

>>2070370
Holy shit, he looks like Bashar al-Assad.

you sound like uncle adolf when he talks about habsburgs.

But really, doesn't this guy realize if he played is cards right he might just be able to ride the new wave of right wing thats growing in europe.

Hofer's party was founded by Nazis.

Habsburg sounds tame and palatable compared to that.

>>2071177
He literally is far too liberal to every consider his title to be worth anything, if not an outright embarrassment

>>2071219
His father was politically active, and he was a typical open borders globalist cuck.

The simple fact is that the royal families of Europe are educated according to the values of the great business classes, the values of the Davos Men, there are no more distinct aristocratic values.

If Karl von Habsburg founded a party, it would be a socially progressive, economically liberal party, like the Greens.

>>2071122
He looks inbred. Then again, that's a Habsburg tradition.

>>2070370
But that's clearly Bashar al-Assad

Thats pathetic desu.

Kaiser Wilhelm II wrote hitler after the fall of france saying he did a good job using HIS (as in the the kaiser's) army and that he should restore the monarchy.

Obviously that pissed Hitler the fuck off, although Hitler when hitler was rambling he said he wasn't opposed to the idea further down the road after he had more time to enact social reforms.

>>You know that the HRE was an elective monarchy

In theory only. Did they ever elect anyone besides a Habsburg?

>>2071346
I'm going to say..
Yes.

>>2071346

Oh yeah. I'll just go hang myself now.

>HRE
Napoleon abolished the Holy Roman Empire after conquering it.
He's the heir to the throne of Austria, Hungary and all other former dominions, but those thrones no longer exist.

I was being legit retarded and not trolling, but in my defence I was focusing on the huge block of Habsburg rulers between c. 1400-1800.

In light of this, I answered my own question: there was one non-Habsburg during this period, after the main line went extinct. So I guess the Electors were occasionally more than a rubber stamp committee.

>>2071639
Sigismund 1411-1433
Karl VII 1742-1745

>>2070370
It was one of the Habsburgs themselves who dissolved the HRE. At best, this guy could become Emperor of Austria, and maybe reverse-Anschluss Germany somehow. Not betting on it though.
