    We have a similar bunch of wackos in Germany, the Reichsbürger. They claim that the modern German constitution is illegal because the German Empire was never officially disbanded as an entity and therefore they don’t have to follow the current laws. Many also dream of reinstating a monarchy and are - surprise! - fascists.

      Similarly same is happening in Czechia. Sovcivs claim Czechoslovakia splitting wasn’t constitutional or something like that. Similar idea, same bunch of dumb fucks.

        Was the split better for Czechia than for Slovakia? (My uneducated general impression’s been that Czechia has more GDPs).

          I’d say, economically, we were both equal. Minor differences really, neither country is “more profitable to live in”.

      Wasn’t it a group of Reichbürgers that got arrested last year for planning a coup in a partnership with right wing military officers?

      Is there a royal family in Germany? Like that monarchy lasted about a hundred years… And it’s been that same amount of time since then!

        No royal family but Reichsbürger often have people as their leaders who call themselves King

        One of their figureheads is a self-declared prince and actually comes from a minor noble house. The family of the last German emperor are the Hohenzollern though, which still exist but are not associated with the Reichsbürger movement.
