    For once, i love being spaniard. Literally noone here likes the monarchy, they are our favourite target of jokes. The only people who like the monarchy are far right weirdos who like to pretend that the monarchy is the only thing stopping the evil transgender commies from seizing power and abolishing heterosexuality and whiteness.

      How based!

      I wish it was the same here but the conditioning is soooo strong you’ll have someone moaning one day about how corrupt and selfish they are only for them to jump at the command of the country for the jubilee and act like little patriotic robots and it’s pathetic. It’s literally like a command prompt and half the country snaps into nationalist mode.

      Does spain still have carlists or those dont exist anymore after the civil war? It would be weird to simp for an guy more then 100 years after he died.

      Also poor portugal, they are home to not one but two shitty royal families.

        Carlists still exist indeed, although they dont simp for the original guy, they simp for his descendants. Idk if you know, but during the Civil War carlism merged with the fascist Falange Española de las JONS party, to form Falange Española Tradicionalista y de las JONS, the only legal party of fascist Spain, headed by Franco. So carlism was definetely a significant force during Francos rule. They are irrelevant now tho.

        Still, with “far right weirdos” i didnt mean carlists, i meant VOX and similar parties.
