Childhood is when you idolise Prussia. Adulthood is when you

A man can dream of a truly united central europe...it still makes me sad to think about what could have been.

No, childhood is idolizing Prussia. Adulthood is realizing that your instincts were correct.

Childhood is when you idolize Nation states. Adulthood is when you realize a World Communist Government makes more sense.

Childhood is when you idolise Prussia and Austria.
Adulthood is when you realise Poland made more more sense.

Infanthood is idolising Prussia, childhood, Austria, but adulthood brings with it an admiration for the Czechs.

Yes?

Adulthood is when you realize the confederation made the most sense, and Frankfurt is the true capital.

Fucking A*strian niggers. You're the reason Italy is shit today. If Napoleon hadn't sold Lombardia-Venetia to you we would still live in our comfy city-states or something closer to them.

Austria was a multi-ethnic empire that considered itself above petty nationalism. It was not a nation state.

Childhood is idolizing Großdeutschland. Adulthood is realizing that France's natural borders make more sense.

FRANCE made more sense.

You are just still in the childhood phase.

>>2656513
look up the definition of nation state.

Gib back Savoy and Nice and we give you back the other lands in return. You can keep Corsica.

Childhood is idolozing europe, adulthood is realizing china made more sense

Childhood is idolising Prussia. Adolescenceis when you turn into a contrarian fuckwit and idolise an inbred, incompetent, decadent, ethnic fuckfest of a nightmare. Adulthood is when you see the merit of an empire that despite doing much wrong, managed to become the greatest, largest, and most influential empire since Rome, bringing civilisation and progress to all corners of the world, ironically being a monarchy that values freedom and fair government more than any despotic, oligarchic "republic" to this very day.

I didn't say ultimate value. Just more than mostly any other nation. You can dig up anecdotal shit for any country. How are you enjoying those Kinder eggs by the way?

>>2656466
Venice is shit. I went there once, there was just garbage and crap floating in the canals, it stunk, and the locals were both rude and dumb. I can't wait for it to be flooded by climate change.

>>2660280
>t. too poor to have actually been there

Venice has one of the highest millionaire-densities in Europe

>>2660283
It was the same in Greece and London, to be fair. Just big rafts of trash floating in the water.

Why are Europoors so dirty? Australia doesn't look like that. Neither did America. You had beautiful buildings older than my entire country just covered in graffiti and black shit. Have you got no shame?

>>2660283
that doesn't mean anything

Childhood is idolising Habsburgs. Adulthood is realizing Jagiellons made more sense.

Yeah I never call her Austria either. The Germans were certainly the first class citizens, but that thing was not a nation state like Austria, rather a collection of nation states lead by the Habsburgs.

Venice's canal's were always used to dump garbage. The bad smell is mostly because of algae blooming during summer though, so just don't go there during that season.

I hope everyone in Venice gets ALS from their own stupidity.
