Was this COVID making everyone dumb around the world? Or do aliens invade us soon after they have used the stupidity beam long enough?

Rupert Murdoch is to blame for a lot of it.

He is but this is letting Robert Welch off lightly

Economic struggles, housing prices escalating out of reach, healthcare collapse, and climate catastrophe.

People are angry and scared, and angry scared people don’t think clearly.

Simple answers blaming immigrants or whatever scapegoat of the moment are comforting.

It’s happening in nearly every country on earth now.

This is Fascism 101.

Here’s hoping that my, frankly ignorance-based, belief that Austria can do comparatively little damage in the world, is true.

The last Austrian that did big damage to the world would beg to differ

I've heard it said that Austria's greatest trick was allowing the world to believe that that guy was German and that Mozart was Austrian.

Edit: I've been informed that I may have misremembered. See reply.

I was right about the dangerous fellow though.

Mozart actually was Austrian :-), this joke is usually told with Beethoven, who was born German but spent most of his life in Vienna.

The influence of russia is very strong in Austria.

Sounds like the Social Democrats and the People’s Party need to make a coalition. Fuck Nazis.

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.

Don’t forget, it’s all about money and power. FPÖ could just send someone else as a bait to get others to coalition with them. I don’t trust these motherfuckers
