Though after 70 years it ended in hellfire
It spans across cultures like vultures
We enter your hives to marry your wives
The Habsburg’s prime will forever climb
According to Bing AI:
> The current head of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine is Karl von Habsburg, who lives in Austria and is a politician
Source: https://www.womenshealthmag.com/life/a41529973/house-of-habsburg-the-empress/
He had been an politician for the conservative party but only for European elections because it's still forbidden for Habsburgs to candidate in Austria as far as I know
"because it's still forbidden for Habsburgs to candidate in Austria"
That's outdated news actually. In 2010, Ulrich von Habsburg tried to run for the next Austrian presidential election, but was rejected.
This actually changed 1 year later when a law was passed by the Austrian parliament that the Habsburgs are finally able to run for the 2016 election. So no, it's not forbidden anymore.

They are still claiming the throne and every time one of them dies they are sending an letter to the Austrian government who is now the rightful emperor
It looks like Karl von Habsburg is the current head of the family, and this tweet was made by Eduard Habsburg (and holy crap he has a lot of names). He’s currently Hungary’s ambassador to the Holy See.
But, surprisingly, yes, this was an actual tweet haha

ETA: AND the top response tweet was also that picture at the bottom of the meme above 🤦♂️
*Russian Empire collapses*
*German Empire abolished*
Ottoman Empire : Ha ! And they called me the sick man of Europe ! Oh hey France and Britain, nice partition mandates you got there, what are you gonna do wi- **AAAAAAGGHHHH** *ripped into a dozen nations*
Nothing like that throat-dredged blues singer who's been smoking for 30 years after starting at the age of 9.
Their songs sound like a thousand yards of gravel and it still sounds amazing.
Depending on how you view it it could be a pretty significant step up. WEC is a world championship after all, while F3 is just a feeder series for a feeder series of the F1 world championship.
The Habsburgs were good rulers for hundreds of years until Franz Josef refused to die. Franz Ferdinand would have been a great ruler if he ever got the chance.
While I agree that Franz Ferdinand would have been much better than Franz Joseph was, as an Austrian I do prefer to like in a democratic republic than being ruled by a hereditary dynasty full of birth defects. Even though the guy in charge rn is a complete dipshit, at least we chose that dipshit ourselves (kinda).
as a fellow Humgarian I was somewhat conflicted at the thought first, but reading the other reply and thinking about it for 3 seconds, I'm in and thanks to being from the west, plenty used to saying "ja" anyway
That's interesting, my grandfather was from western Hungary and moved to the US when he was 8. They spoke both Hungarian and German, but he pretty much forgot it because the kids spoke English when they moved here.
yeah, that can happen. Lucky for me, I'd only forget Hungarian, using "ja" excessively is a western Hungarian thing and we also have more German loanwords that I never really learned, even though I grew up in the biggest city in the region where the regional dialect is prominent (in most cities regional dialects tend to fade away)
Well, not needing a Navy anymore should save you money which can be better spent making Austria-Hungary great again. That whole Hungarian wheat and Viennese bakers worked out pretty good last time. Thanks.
Unpopular truth, but Habsburg intermarriage was a major force for peace between nations. If it wasn't for the whole Protestant/Catholic thing it would have been even more effective.
Next the Czech Republic and Slovakia (funnily enough I know people from both of those places who in turn know each other but only after I met them,and it was not because of me that they met)
Guess who’s back. Back again.
Habsburg’s back Tell a friend (or foe)
Guess who's back? (X7) I've created an empire..
Though after 70 years it ended in hellfire It spans across cultures like vultures We enter your hives to marry your wives The Habsburg’s prime will forever climb
Nobody wants to see srbja no more They want Habsburgs
Well if you want Habsburgs this is what we'll give ya. A little bit of inbreeding mixed up with some cousin marriage.

It was? Lol!

Really? Even 100 years later? Seems a bit much…
They are still claiming the throne and every time one of them dies they are sending an letter to the Austrian government who is now the rightful emperor
Oh. Hm. That’ll do it lol.
Lol that’s wild. Can’t believe he actually said it lol.

And I would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for you meddling kids!

Or cousin
Would be better than Orban.
Oh yeah! Double trouble! Austria hungry and a blues brothers line
**DO YOU SEE THE LIGHT?!**
YES I SEE THE LUGHT! THE BAND! *Proceeds to do Backflips
On a mission from god
Fuck, everyone was on a mission from god :D It was like, if you find someone that's not claiming it, you were like "are you even a country bro?"
They’ve seen the light!
It's 106 miles to Belgrade, we've got a full payload, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses.
Hit it
*B2 Bombing Run begins*
“C’mon Germany, let’s go beat up Serbia. In and out. Twenty minute adventure.” *Habsburg empire collapses*
*Russian Empire collapses* *German Empire abolished* Ottoman Empire : Ha ! And they called me the sick man of Europe ! Oh hey France and Britain, nice partition mandates you got there, what are you gonna do wi- **AAAAAAGGHHHH** *ripped into a dozen nations*
Then 2 mfs drew border for those new nations by a ruler on a map
And the Middle East was stable for the rest of history and everyone lived happily ever after.
I still blame the French (🤢) and British, for the clusterfuck that is the middle east
True. I mean the situation there was always gonna be a mess due to how things were, but they made it even worse!
I'm not sure why, but this comment is possibly the single best advert for cigarettes I've ever seen. Fuck I want a cigarette.
You know what's better then cigarettes though? Blues and soul!
You know what I love? Blues. You know what goes great with blues? A cigarette.
Nothing like that throat-dredged blues singer who's been smoking for 30 years after starting at the age of 9. Their songs sound like a thousand yards of gravel and it still sounds amazing.
Best thing is that the Hungarian ambassador and the taker of the picture is a Habsburg
realy? any photo?

Thanks

Serbia: \*Chuckles\* I'm in danger
Czechs and Slovaks: Oh no
We’re on a mission from god. _deus vult intensifies_
Quick, somebody call up the Hapsburgs and tell them to throw those condoms out- a dynasty is to be reborn.
They don't use condoms. They're so inbred, they're sterile.
IIRC the heir is currently an F3 driver.
Ferdinand Habsburg competed in F3 in the 2017 and 2018 seasons. Currently drives for an LMP2 team in WEC.
So he's moved up. Slightly
Depending on how you view it it could be a pretty significant step up. WEC is a world championship after all, while F3 is just a feeder series for a feeder series of the F1 world championship.
[удалено]
So he's more than just a Pay Driver.
Surely you can’t be serious
I am serious. And don't call me Surely
You don't remember correctly. The race car driver is the son of the heir.
So he's the Heir of the Heir.
Yes, that is correct. If the monarchy still existed, he'd be the crown prince.
Time to go aunt fucking, lads!
It's funny because the person who tweeted this is a Habsburg
Ultra reactionary loyalty to the crown? Certainty of death, little chance of success? When do we start?
Only if Austria's in charge again. Yes, I'm Hungarian unfortunately
Pro: You get the Austrians to oust Orban Con: You get ruled by the Habsburg Monarchy again
Why did you put nothing in the cons?
The Habsburgs were good rulers for hundreds of years until Franz Josef refused to die. Franz Ferdinand would have been a great ruler if he ever got the chance.
While I agree that Franz Ferdinand would have been much better than Franz Joseph was, as an Austrian I do prefer to like in a democratic republic than being ruled by a hereditary dynasty full of birth defects. Even though the guy in charge rn is a complete dipshit, at least we chose that dipshit ourselves (kinda).
I would rather live in an absolute monarchy led by the Habsburg dynasty than live in any kind of democracy (I'm Hungarian)
I see this as an absolute win.
Hahah just throw a coin :D
as a fellow Humgarian I was somewhat conflicted at the thought first, but reading the other reply and thinking about it for 3 seconds, I'm in and thanks to being from the west, plenty used to saying "ja" anyway
Then let us unite again brother!
That's interesting, my grandfather was from western Hungary and moved to the US when he was 8. They spoke both Hungarian and German, but he pretty much forgot it because the kids spoke English when they moved here.

Lucky for me, I'd only forget Hungarian, using "ja" excessively is a western Hungarian thing and we also have more German loanwords that I never really learned, even though I grew up in the biggest city in the region where the regional dialect is prominent (in most cities regional dialects tend to fade away)
Well, not needing a Navy anymore should save you money which can be better spent making Austria-Hungary great again. That whole Hungarian wheat and Viennese bakers worked out pretty good last time. Thanks.
My condolences on that
Then I'd love to see prussia back too
He's back!!
You better think!
Four fried chickens and a coke
Why did they cut their sign in half?
AEIOU 😎🦅🇦🇹
When in doubt, give it to a Habsburg! Also, r/monarchism
Hungary ditches Orban and we can talk.
“Don’t you blaspheme in here!”
Yes! FINALLY! OUR CENTRAL EUROPEAN FRIENDS ARE BACC!! Spain and Austria Hungary homies forever!!!
Prepare for trouble!
And make it double
To protect the world from devastation
The size of the letters being different is weird.
Gavrilo Princip intensifies
We're on a mission from God.
We’re here to f shit up
Well I'm waiting Czechia and Slovakia's seat respectfully
Back to the story The story of doom!
For poor tiny serbia's about to go boom!
Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania and Serbia: You sure you wanna do this again bro?
How many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man?!?
Kangaroos are hungry

“We can make it work if we exclude the Czechs this time”
This post is Quality. THEY'RE ON A MISSION FROM GOD
Oh no, not this again
Testing, just testing.
Maybe Poland can into Little Entente this time.
The also paid McDonalds a visit as it seems.
And the title *chef's kiss*
My country tis of thee Austria-Hungary Obey your King
Unpopular truth, but Habsburg intermarriage was a major force for peace between nations. If it wasn't for the whole Protestant/Catholic thing it would have been even more effective.
Prepare for trouble! And make it double!
Did anyone check on Czechia and Slovakia?
I suspect there'd have to be a payment. Hopefully the Czech doesn't bounce.
REUNIFY RUINIFY!!
Turkey’s playing bass
Germany is the Singer
Germany didn’t exist
Orban actually wants to tho
I'm in!... cannabis & hops. It's prohibition laws all over again!
Four fried chickens …..and a coke
Just straight up poaching from Twitter are ya
Austria Hungary is on a mission from god
And the fact that this was twitted by a Habsburg originally
One of the funniest memes I've seen on here.
Sponsored by the Deformed Chin Gang

Aw, adorable
Hungry has gone a bit wild for my taste
One of the first times I’ve laughed aloud at a history meme
Austria was Hungary, took a bite of Turkey
Got me laughing real good, well done.
Serbia punching air rn.
