Becuase one day is specifically for the soldiers killed in action.

It's my understand many Us service personnel dislike being thanked on memorial day as the day is not about current serving members.

I'm not saying we get rid of the holiday. I'm saying we should rename this one instead.

We had a barbeque and my wife put up American flag stuff all over the place. I told her it's not a patriotic holiday and the bunting should be yellow or black. I'll win this eventually.

Why not yellow AND black? Surely there's some Austrian Empire thing going on.

Members of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine were not allowed to run for Federal President in Austria until 2011, because the Habsburg Law from 1919 is de jure still in force. Probably because it was feared that they want their confiscated property back.

P.S. Fuck aristocracy!
If only de-Nazi-fication would have been enforced as thoroughly after 1945.

So since the IRS got hacked yesterday, everything related to getting a loan is backed up and slow and apparently the dumbass banker that our home-buyers are getting a loan from forgot to submit everything until the last minute when it should've been done already.  We already moved everything out into the truck, and the buyers have already done the walkthrough, so we're not allowed back in and I'm stuck living in my uncle's basement with only a single change of clothes until that loan gets approved.  Needless to say the sellers of our new house are also furious about waiting on our money from our buyer's loan and are likely now inbetween houses themselves and it sounds like they might be seeking additional compensation for the trouble.  Best case scenario is everything happens on Friday.  Worst case scenario is next week

Hopefully the sellers aren't dicks and frustrate the contract and keeping the deposit.

The Habsburgs still had enough property and wealth in Switzerland, where they moved afterwards.

You can't be sorry for an authoritarian monarch, who basically inherits all his wealth from his predecessors, who in the long run, have grabbed it at some point.
Aristocracy as it was back then, was just a totalitarian dictatorship, with some added romanticism, more loyalty and a silly excuse that everything was god-given.

You can say the same for any landed elite Still makes it awkward to take all their assets without just compensation. Guess you can call it a bloodless revolution.

From what I overheard when my mom was talking to our realtor, it may be a possibility if things don't start to fall in line before the weekend.  But I may have misheard hopefully

Yes, bloodless insofar that the emperor didn't get assassinated, but got the hint to just relinquish his claim to the throne.
After WW1 and the constitution of the First Republic, democracy was preferred by most and no one wanted a totalitarian regime anymore.

Most, because in 1934 we had exactly that again with civil a war, were the outlawed socialists got shot with artillery.
Fun thing is, the totalitarian Austro-Fascist Dollfuß is still revered by the current conservative party ÖVP, complete with a picture hanging in their club rooms in the parliament. He was killed by Austrian Nazis in 1934, why they consider him the first resistance against Hitler.

IMO, if Hitler hadn't annexed Austria in 1938, Austria would have become a fascist state anyway, like Mussolini's Italy, with some deeply rooted antisemitism added on top.

And here the rest of the world just thinks you guys enjoy good schnitzel, good deserts, terrible wine and yodeling. Who knew?

jay is flippant about Aussie and Euro stereotypes but guy has spent about a year of his life trying to establish his yuuuuro 'lineage' and I bet he'll raise his son telling him he's Scandinavian or Irish or some fucking load of old bollocks.

WW1 problems.
Although, those are basically the reason for the WW2 problems.

You could even go so far to say that it was one World War from 1914 to 1945, with a jazzy, swingy ceasefire from 1918 to 1939.

really groundbreaking historical analysis going on in this thread right now.

3,2,1 before someone blames Prussian militarism and kaiser wilhelm for the whole thing.
