  • Update: They won, but every single party has said they will not work together with Herbert Kickl. Maybe with the FPÖ without him though (they didn’t specifically rule that out), but I doubt the FPÖ will be willing to drop him after getting their best result in history so far (nearly 29%).

    The only possible coalitions without it would be ÖVP (people’s party) + SPÖ (social democratic party) + NEOS (center (economic right (less regulation) else left)) or ÖVP + SPÖ + Green Party.

    Technically ÖVP + SPÖ would also work by a very slim margin (out of 92 needed mandates to form a coalition (183 mandates in total) they’re getting 92 or 93) but wouldn’t hold much power (failing to get a majority if one single mandate doesn’t agree to something) which is why it’s more likely that they also include NEOS or the green party.





  • Damn

    Rothbard opposed egalitarianism and the civil rights movement, and blamed women’s voting and activism for the growth of the welfare state.[24][25][10][11] He promoted historical revisionism and befriended the Holocaust denier Harry Elmer Barnes.[26][27][28] Later in his career, Rothbard advocated a libertarian alliance with paleoconservatism (which he called paleolibertarianism), favoring right-wing populism and describing David Duke and Joseph McCarthy as models for political strategy.[29][30][24][31] In the 2010s, he received renewed attention as an influence on the alt-right.[32][10][33][34]

    Oh and bicycling also wasn’t popular in Europe when my grandfather was young (50s/60s), when you were cycling people thought you were too poor to buy a motorcycle. But mindsets can change, now bicycling is hugely popular both for moving around (especially in cities) and for sports.














  • The reason is that there’s not an infinite amount of ressources. Integrating them properly works well as long as there are enough ressources, but when too many come in a too short timeframe it sadly does not work for all of them (also makes it much harder for them to get proficient at German since they can live in their own bubble and just talk in their native language).

    (And we have many ressources, but we (Austria) took the most immigrants per capita of all central European countries, even significantly more than Germany which is known for having taken so many. We really are trying.)



  • There only are so many resources for them. Here in many European countries the main issue (I think) is that with the current numbers we fail to teach them all our language (it’s simply not possible without having more language teachers available, and apart from needing those teachers that also needs more money). Without knowing the language their professional development is massively hindered, causing many to remain lower class, and causing disproportionately high crime rates among certain groups.

    This leads to further problems: In the big cities there already are schools where people who speak the local language are a minority (for example in a primary school near me they have two classes for each grade (1-4) for children who can’t speak German yet and one class for all grades together for German speaking children).

    So guess what people do: They go to a district with less immigrants, while the districts with many immigrants keep getting more immigrants (since cost of living is low there and as pointed out earlier many struggle to leave lower class). We’re re-creating segregation. This makes it even harder for those people to leave lower class, since they have no networking opportunities but only know others from lower class instead.

    Even the left wing parties are now saying that we have to reduce immigration and instead integrate immigrants better.
