The flag means being based

GERMAN IMPERIALISM ON THE RISE

Does germany really have a leader that got elected because he could outdrink everyone or did YouTube lie to me?

>>153483068
Huh? Who/what do you mean?

Vastly superior German flag to rotated Belgium flag, imho

>>153476994
It's the flag from back when they started (and lost) their first world war
It's kinda nostalgic

>>153483142
I heard on YouTube one of Germany's leaders (not sure if it was a king, PM, or whatever) only got the...job because he beat everyone in a drinking contest

>>153483150
It's not rotated, but I understand. But I do think the current one has a nicer color scheme, the transition works nicely in my opinion. I like the Kaiserreich a lot, but the flag itself isn't so amazing. It's also younger than the current flag, and it could be confused with France or the Netherlands if you rotate it and confuse the black with blue

Come on, we didn't start WW1. Everyone wanted it and it was coming anyway, we just said "fuck it, let's roll" first
You were itching to get Elsass-Lothringen back, Britain and you were scared of us, we wanted colonies because Willy was retarded and refused to listen to Bismarck's "saturated Germany, we're winning anyway" approach

lol

It can't be an Emperor, I think ... that was dynastical after all, and I don't think the HRE electorate considered drinking either
Chancellor ... I wouldn't know who that could be. They all got elected by the Bundestag, and I think we'd meme about someone convincing the others by winning a drinking contest
Since we're a federal country with 1000 years of super-small state bullshit history, a lot might have happened. But I have no idea what you're talking about. Do you have no clues at all? Time period? I kinda want to know now myself

>>153483305
Easier done than the Belgium thing at least. Belgium obviously has gold/yellow in the middle
Have some light shine through the black part and it can easily look blue-ish. France in particular sometimes has a flag with very dark blue

>>153483361
I wanna say when Germany had a king but its been forever since I saw the video, it also mentioned Australia's swimming PM, a chinese social worker that thought he was jesus, something about France and the Queen wearing black because her lover died, and some other stuff, it was titled something like "crazy stories from other countries"

>>153483396
And it was on federal level, I assume. But Germany already existed as a nation state? It would make more sense that way
I could see people telling such a meme story about Bismarck. He was a large man and (among other things) famous for drinking a lot. But he wasn't selected as chancellor because of that. And funnily enough, Bismarck wouldn't even fit the criteria I just mentioned since he was the one to create the first German nation state after becoming minister-president of Prussia. You remembering "king" instead of "emperor" might hint at that, though
Bismarck was chosen as minister-president of Prussia because he was a hardliner who promised to solve a constitutional crisis, and because he was expendable and an outsider. No drinking involved afaik

>>153476994
Someone waved it? Surprising. It's seen as a no-no flag by modern-day pansies here
It's the flag of the German Empire, the first German nation state, the Second Reich. Back and white represent Prussia, the dominant state, and red and white represent the Hanseatic cities of Hamburg, Bremen, and Lübeck. Other states are not represented via their colors. It started out as the flag of the North German Confederacy, the proto-state in which Prussia began to control several other states
The flag is not illegal here, but some people like crying about it because muh WW1 evil and because monarchy instead of muh demcracy. And also because it briefly was reinstated in the Third Reich before they used their windmill of peace flag. Since that one is illegal now, some neonazis use the Kaiserreich flag. That's why some lefties today want to make it illegal as well. They also hate our current flag btw, but well ...

>>153483600
i fucking adore the gold black and red style of your uniforms
even the bobsleigh looks cool

>>153483150
nah Germany's flag is good, flows better than Belgium's flag which is the only other one with the same colors I think. Meanwhile this one looks Arab, just upside down Yemen, or Egypt or Iraq

>>153484909
Your country has such great tailors and cobblers. I love your style of going out impeccably dressed.

>>153483600

Merkel tossing a German flag into the trash on camera with visible disdain is still crazy to me

>>153476994
it's the flag of the royal Haus von Draisaitl

>>153483267
Are you thinking of Störtebeker? The pirate?
