Every time i see news from austria or bavaria etc. where politicians have nothing better to think about than ban gender inclusive speech, i think to myself that we actually do live in hell. Fix digital infrastructure? Work on providing affordable housing for homeless people, low income families and refugees? Sustainable public transport? Access to healthcare?? Literal Nazis??? Fuck all of that shit, apparently. Let’s focus on banning the use of “Lehrer*innen”. Because that’s the real problem.
Istg they are literally making problems out of thin air. I hope they all die
ich finde es echt so peinlich und traurig dass in österreich so viele "linke" israel verteidigen. nicht mal welche kleine antideutsch-gruppen sondern auch verdammt viele antifa.
ich meine, sie können nicht mal sagen dass wir ein waffenstillstand brauchen. widerlich!!! wie kann man sich selbst nach so was links nennen?
protesters disrupt the celebration of the 75th anniversary of the declaration of human rights at the austrian parliament to call for a ceasefire, an end to the genocide, and to accuse the present politicians of complicity, as well as taking a stance against weaponized accusations of antisemitism
austria has been among the most vocal supporters of israel, being one of only 10 countries to vote against a ceasefire at the last UN general assembly
here‘s an article and an interview with one of the organizers (in german)
Bruh, apparently the FPÖ (our right-wing party) would now like to get rid of the mandatory 9 years of school and rather replace it with educational goals which should also be able to be met outside of public/regular schools and somehow also in less time??? Wtf!?
Call me crazy, but given their general history, fearmongering and right-wing propaganda, that whole thing just sounds to me like them saying "You guys don't like or teach our right-wing views, so we need to create an environment where we can legally indoctrinate our kids ourselves and shield them from all other views and critical thinking that happens in the now existing school system."
austria being one of the few countries joining the u.s. and israel in voting against a humanitarian cease-fire in gaza is just... disappointed but not surprised!!
on february 17th (thats a saturday) there will be a pro palestine protest in villach, organized by the KPÖ villach
this is kind of a big deal because as far as im aware this is the first time such an event is organized by an actual political party (rather than solidarity movements/organizations) in austria. they said theyre kinda on thin ice for even doing this at all, so its all the more important that this gets a lot of support
i'll be going to villach by train from vienna and will probably stay for one night, one of the guys said theyd organize for a place to sleep at and if theres more people coming along i should let them know
if anyone wants to come along and show support, please message me! we can organize to stay in villach for a night together, and take the same train if youre also from vienna.
i hope this gets some recognition, villach isnt that big so its not gonna be a huge event, but that just means that every individual person showing up is all the more valuable. its a great opportunity to show that people are willing to support political parties for their solidarity with palestine and encourage this stance
Austrian chancellor about Ukraine: “Spiral of escalation that can no longer be controlled”
The Austrian chancellor has suggested that the situation in Ukraine might get out of control. The warning came after Emmanuel Macron’s statement that the question of deploying ground troops there should remain on the table.
Karl Nehammer said in an interview with Austrian public broadcaster ORF on Wednesday night:
It is still important to prevent a major war, a third world war.
The chancellor warned that the Ukrainian conflict could create “spiral of escalation that can no longer be controlled.”
His words in the interview came after French President Emmanuel Macron, a NATO member, said that the introduction of ground troops into Ukraine should not be ruled out – a view that Nehammer emphasised “is not the majority view”.
