>European parity doesn't exi
Sir, that's a pre-constitutional flag...
>>151537058If only
>>151537058Can you please not use that flag?now lets check how many players from each nation is actually represented here. :)
>>151537219That flag is based. But yes, we shouldn't use it because modern Germany isn't worthy of it
>>151537348>flag that send millions of German men to die for 4 years is basedabsolutely reprehensible opinion, anon
>>151537372>WW1 was caused by Germany>Germany should have surrendered right awayI don't know what it is with you, but either way: you are retardedIf that's your train of thought, you should still be taking that flag over our current one, which stands for the absolute long-term death of anything German
>>151537413>somehow implying the failure of that empire didn't cause the results that followed itretard. Wilhelm, Moltke, Hindenburg were failures who doomed germany into a still ongoing century of destruction and humiliation
>>151537372the flag is based because is a kino colour combo. that's all that matters. for instance, the portuguese blue and white flag had the most retarded diyasty of it's history but it's still the most kino
>>151537652The Empire not winning a war that wasn't exclusively caused by it doesn't excuse the failure of the modern state that detests everything that came before it and insists we're living in the "best Germany ever"I am far from saying the Empire was perfect, but it was obviously better than what we have now, because it at least didn't jeopardize our existence - yes, despite that warPretending the Empire is at fault for the current state of modern Germany is way too dumb. History simply isn't linear, and even if it were, this state systematically undermines anything about the Empire. They are much more of an antithesis than they are completing each other
>>151537780how was Weimar parliamentarian debauchery and the Nat Soc coup not direct consequences of The Empires failure? And that resulted in literal 45 years of foreign occupation, their "bona fide" demands to reunite only 2/3 of the land and ultimately still remain under foreign military occupation by the last remaining enemy victor power? It was the Americans who forced the import of every swarthy European for economic rejuvenation until they reached the turks and then continued the foreign slave hordes import to the equator. Germany has suffered a fate worse than China did in its 100 years of humiliation and it is ALL because the empire entered a gruesome war it could neither win nor stop. And we still have assets and titles owning nobility in this country. Its repulsive. And pretending they were in any manner better than any politician since is pathetic revisionism.
>>151537919As if we hadn't been able to turn this around. In the public conscience, the Empire doesn't exist anymore, and neither does Prussia. It has no legacy because it obstructs the absoluteness the "democratic Germany" proclaims. If you say the Empire is at fault for everything, why can't we go back further? The German Confederation? The Napoleonic puppet states? The Holy Roman Empire? The Frankish Empire? Romans and the Germanic tribes at the same time?It's easy to blame the Empire now. They thought they could win the war. But they didn't cause it (alone), so why blame them for it? You are not making sense. Germany being ass now is the fault of many people and entities, and the German Empire isn't high up on that list
>>151537958They fumbled the post 1971-1914 Belle Epoque and caused failure after failure that were all responses to responses of the war they (indirectly) helped caused. I blame the russians, brits, and austrians for this consequence equally. But, besides the russians none of the others suffered and ruined their countries as hard and long lasting as the then German power elite did. One can only compare them to the complete human failures of previous centuries that would lead to the thirty years war. Wilhelm and his ilk are the worst leaders Germany has ever had in its existence and the consequences of their rule are still present today. There is just no denying that.
>>151538078As if the painter and his men aren't 10000x worse. That's where it all went down for good. But even then: before that, we had some decent Weimar years even. And with a different approach at Versailles, maybe there would have been less frustration in the first place. The recklessness of the Empire didn't have to lead to all of this, it only looks like that now. Was Willy a retard? Yes. Did Willy being a retard ensure we're fucked now? Obviously not. The high Germany rode on scientifically and economically in the Empire time was also the partial result of leadership back then. Bismarck had his flaws as well of course, so did Wilhelm I. But I think the overall product was worth it for the most part. I won't applaud the leadership back then for that, but I won't cry over them 100 years later because my neighbor's kid fell from his bikeEven in the 60s and 70s, we still had a chance to turn things around. Maybe even in 1990 or so. There are too many variables here to blame everything on the Empire, let alone on part of it. The consequences are still present, but they don't define all of our history and present. It is absolutely hopeless to pretend it's any different
What would a german empire 11 look like today?
>>151537668It looks like an Arab flag
>inverted Manure flagSignal of extreme distress. The flag of /mug/
>>151537413>lets prepare for 3 decades for something we wont cause
>>151537668The current Portuguese flag is better tbqh.
>>151537058one is not like the others
>>151537058arsenal is a proud african club whos fans feel represented by jeremy corbyn
>>151537089
I think Bayern are the only team that can compete with PSG this year. Maybe Kwabsenal but that PSG attacking trio are actual hammers
>>151546964Yeah, everyone was 100% peaceful except for us, we wanted war every single day after January 1871 because ... uhhh, doesn't matter. France was totally fine with our borders and definitely not revanchist at all. Only we ever cause and want wars, and only we are okay with them. Preparing for them, which only we did, means you cause it. Alone.A true student of history, I see
>>151552231Bayern's squad is too thin to compete when things get really serious. They are one additional injury away from losing contender status, and they will pay the price for that in March, April, or May. Even if they manage to get there injury-free, they will be tiredMusiala returning in a few weeks will give them a boost, but I still don't see them be top tier all the season. And in the end, their best isn't that strong individually: Kompany still isn't a very elite coach, Neuer is ancient and not the keeper he was >5 years ago, a few other players simply aren't quite the upper echelon as well. When push comes to shove, the likes of Laimer and Stanisic will likely not suffice
