goddamn I'm actually laughing
What was his problem? Did a German steal his gf or something?
>>1142347
Impressive, very nice.
>>1144334
no, voltaire merely found it slightly amusing to observe that a mishmash of dukes, counts, and excommunicated generalissimos had the nerve to act as if they were in any way worthy of bearing the titles of "Holy", "Roman", or "Empire", let alone all three at once
Why is he so perfect?
Have any of you checked out the mod?

>you will never be so skilled at banter that kids greentext it centuries in the future
Where can I get some of his works aside from Candide?
Things like his Essay on the Customs and the Spirit of the Nations
>Voltaire's banter was so good that he convinced half a continent that Frederick the Great was a faggot

"Holy Roman Empire". This is a very difficult thing to say while keeping a straight face. I wonder who can, because indeed it is hard.
"Holy", you say, while grinning like Voltaire did. "Holy", it is it's name. But then, thinking of "Holy", you think about all the emperors who were excommunicated. You think about all those who tried to fuck with the pope. You think about the wars of religion and how many of them ended up as protestant heretics.
But then, the funniest is coming. "Roman". Yes, now. You cannot contain your laughter. “Roman”, it is called, despite the fact that this “Roman” body is standing on Germania, a land so harsh and poor that the Legions of Rome refused to set foot on it. A Germanic and barbaric people, yes, but still calling themselves “Roman”.
And now, here is the end of the fun: “Empire”. Now you fell on the ground, laughing so hard that you cannot breathe. An “Empire”, a body made of dozens of petty duchies and counties, all fighting for themselves, giving strange names to their position, full of Grand-Dukes or Archdukes. An “Empire” who will stay between Poland and France, while the great powers of Europe will create colonies all around the world.
>Holy

>United
In the current year, it seems pretty unified to me
>States
There are states within the union
>of America
Is it not located in the Americas?

Would've been better if the man looking at us were shopped.
>In 1733, Voltaire met Émilie du Châtelet, a married mother of three who was 12 years his junior and with whom he was to have an affair for 16 years. To avoid arrest after the publication of Letters, Voltaire took refuge at her husband's château at Cirey-sur-Blaise, on the borders of Champagne and Lorraine. Voltaire paid for the building's renovation, and Émilie 's husband, the Marquis du Châtelet, sometimes stayed at the château with his wife and her lover.

Voltaire pepe when? I don't have a Voltaire smug enough to attach it to this post.
>>1147135
every fucking time
What started out as a quick and easy way to spot familiar members of a subculture no sooner divulged into a quick and easy way to dishonestly appear as a member of said subculture. Memes are the death of every niche group, and "Smug Voltaire" is no exception.
>>1142347
Bravo. Clap fucking clap.
>>1148023
I mean just look at that face, you know he's been cucking someone, be it all of Germany, the Habsburg Monarchy or our poor Marquis here.
>>1148023
The supreme cucker.
>>1147105
Yep, all three hundred or so countries

Smug even in death.

Nobody gives a shit and this is 4chan. If you want to be total purist with "board culture", everyone who ever abused greentext has appropriated a cancerous /sp/ shitposting form.
