Ep 206 - Patreon Ep Unlocked: Habsburg News You Can Use
🕑 Added 2025-02-14 15:04:25 +0000 UTCpatrons, as you can tell, we unlocked a bonus this week because of illness and travel, we will be back with new stuff next week. enjoy! we decided to take a look at some Holy Roman Empire and Habsburg news that has come up in the past month. first, and more seriously, we look at a study of how Holy Roman Emperors governed from the road through a practice known as itinerant rule and it can be used to trace the rise and decline of the power of the imperial office. then, we move onto the real fun: an article about the recent Habsburg convention in Plano, Texas that occurred in April 2024. and folks, if the first part seems a little dry, this article is nothing but schadenfreude and the chance to point and laugh at some of the worst people alive, which we all use from time-to-time.

Don't worry, Luke. I'm from Texas, and I also don't like Texas. I'm just here π« π

Long time listener, finally a patron! The Texas conference sounds like the most American thing I've ever in a while lol but coming from an ex Habsburg possession I must say.... compared to all the other overlords these guys tend to be one of our favourite oppressors. Certainly better remembered than being ruled by our fellow Slavs lol not to mention the eventual dictators and communism. Oppress me harder daddy Austria?
