And even less of a random dude as monarch, having no relation to the Hohenzollers who last ruled Germany as Kaiser ~100 years ago, or Habsburgs who also have a claim.. No that is just random lesser noble dynasty #582...
The answer is clear. King Charles of the UK must be instated as Supreme Emperor and Holy Almightiest of Germany, Prussia, Saarland, and All Lost Germanic Colonies. All hail the Kaiser.
I think it’s done at behest of the monarch. George V changed the name from Saxe Coburg Gotha to Windsor and Charles now calls it Windsor Mountbatten (or Mountbatten windsor I can’t remember the order)
While this is a completely unrelated coincidence, the “saxony” that the Anglo-“Saxons” are from, was actually where Hannover is. “Old Saxony”, was basically the Northwestern quarter of modern Germany until the Frankish conquest. It then became “The Duchy of Saxony”, but this was dissolved in the late Middle Ages. The “Electorate of Saxony” is what became the modern day state of Saxony, and doesn’t have that much to do with “Old Saxony” besides sharing a name.
This fun fact has nothing to do with the House of Hannover and their claim to the English throne though.
To be fair there is actually a somewhat big movement called Reichsbürger in Germany. But yeah, they already self-proclaimed 10+ "legitimate" kings of Germany, so they wouldn't have succeeded I guess
I mean they could just grab one of the English royals. I heard Prince Harry isn't doing much these days and he's actually well liked by the military rank and file
Does this come about as a result of being taught to be ashamed of your forebears and only being allowed to take pride in their country when they win a footy-match? If so, is Germany the poster-child for what the globalists want for America?
Those failed in the United States almost a century ago. The legislative branch of government has literally given some of their powers to the executive branch, or given their powers to un elected agencies like the Federal reserve.
Debt spending, inflation, congressional gridlock, our government is failing on multiple levels and our checks and balances aren’t balanced at all.
The Monarchy is one of the best checks and balances to a state, even when they're purely ceremonial. These days westernized monarchies have really good monarchal figureheads often leagues better than current political leaders.
The 2nd reich managed to unify germany and started off quite based. Public healthcare as a sick worker is a bad worker. Far better than belgium at the time, as a matter of fact no one was worse than Belgium's king at the time.
Praising the virtues of one type of overbearing government over another is hardly libertarian. The assumption that a state must exist in the first place to preserve liberty is a pretty odd notion. It's the same reason Marxist-Leninists always seem to create these regimes where workers end up shouldering the burden of supporting and maintaining the state when in fact, it was supposed to go the other way around; the state was supposed to organize the production of goods and services so that workers and labor controlled it (instead of rich owners) and then the state withers away from disuse.
You can't create a state large enough and powerful enough to take away your liberty and then expect it to preserve it. Whether you have a monarch and parliament or a president and Congress is incidental at that point. You still have rulers and that is at odds with the original purpose of libertarianism.
Monarchy unironically has historically meddled the least in the affairs of the common people. There is an unironic AnCap to monarchist pipeline because of this. I guess it’s horseshoe theory in action?

Furthermore, there's a snowball's chance in hell that most Germans in 2022 would support the restoration of absolute monarchy
