      The comic of the slam poetry socialist being confused as he's sent to the coal mines after the revolution, but it's about an internet monarchist being confused as he's sent to sow the potato fields after a new dynasty is installed

        Blancs d'Espagne are so much less horrible than the Orleanists. At least those freaks are just delusional.

            "White Spaniards" are the guys who think the crown should go to the Bourbons down in Spain. Orleanists want the line of Louis Philippe I to take over. The White Spaniards are just delusional and there's no serious movement to bring them back to power. The Orleanists are represented most prominently by Action Francaise, a bunch of fascists who take their cue from the deranged ramblings of an antisemitic nazi collaborator and who owe their existence to the old french antisemitic leagues.

      Many of them are American lol. Making fun of Americans for wanting socialism doesn't make sense because the US has a rich history of socialist activities, movements, and many of the things we take for granted today are the result of socialists. But monarchism? Outside of Paradox forums you'll be hard pressed to find any American who thinks an old guy wearing a $3 billion dollar crown shouldn't be shot if he was ruling the US.
