Hofer will win

Didn't you guys almost vote a literal fascist in not too long ago?

Are liberals going full "Hofer is literally Hitler" again?

Daily reminder that the nazi's were the original greens.

define fascism

will Hofer win?

Daily reminder that Hoffer will give you guns so you can do a revolution with them later.

To be fair, I don't really care anymore. President position is mostly symbolic.


?
Do you refer to this election? Because it has to be taken again.


Yessir. To be fair, a lot of the right wingers are nazis (although they would never admit it).


I'd probably just end up killing myself with it

I'm at work so I don't think I can get too detailed but I'd say it's a class collaborationist ideology which calls for a return to the status quo ante that was perverted by interlopers both foreign and domestic. It usually takes on the unique characteristics of whatever culture or society it finds itself in and is not concerned with logic or reason. It relies mostly on feelings of power and unity to appeal to an embittered and abandoned working class.

how does presidential election in austria work? can you give us some tldr of election nominees?

also, i thought you had presidential election a few months ago

Hofer's a neoliberal and self professed admirer of Margaret Thatcher so it'll be hilarious if he wins and people realize he's just another porkster but I can't find anything relevant on his opponent. I'm guessing he's a neoliberal too? What a shitty choice.

It's weird how little people talk of Austria considering it's one of the richest countries in Europe.

Greens are usually pretty based, good on you.
Opposition are Nationalistic lolberts apparently (how those people consider themselves anti-establishment I'll never know)

Well, you're not wrong. But the 2nd round got annulled…and then got delayed because the postal votes had faulty glue lmao.


Okay, I'll try. There's the first round where anyone with enough people supporting them (2000, iirc, signatures from people) will be able to be a candidate. After the first round (if during the first round has more than 50% of the vote) the two candidates with the most amount of votes will advance to the 2nd round. And then whoever has more % wins.

The candidates are Norbert Hofer and Alexander van der Bellen. Hofer belongs to the right-wing party FPÖ and presents himself as the politician for the small Austrian worker. vdB presents himself as the thoughtful, sensible liberal (a bit like the US election although Hofer is not as vulgar as Trump).

Welcome to 2016-17 elections in monarchies and republics all over the place.

The election has been such a farce that even if Hofer is kept out his defeat will lack legitimacy. His supporters will plausibly claim it was rigged, again.

lol. We had a lot jokes about outcome of your elections, but I never heard that you'll have third round.

Their are the same like the last time, is that correct? I heard a very little about them, but because of some english media i stumbled upon covering elections, portraying Hofer as some hitler reincarnation, and actual people from/working in austria telling me "It's not that bad" I hoped he will win.

anyway, thanks for info!

shiggy

Hofer is bae. Too bad I'm not on my laptop and have no FPO maymays.

FPÖ (and Hofer) are neo-liberal as fuck but trying to present themselves as the working man's party.
Hofer's opponent Alexander van der Bellen is just the safe and "boring" choice which would maintain the overall system of liberal democracy. But I'll say it again, the President doesn't have that much power (theoretically he does but so far it hasn't been used - which could be dangerous).
Yup. "Democracy" - what a fucking ruse.


We're used to not getting noticed.

I used to think so too when van der Bellen was still in charge. But nowadays they are just pure identity politics.
It's fucking hilarious. Hell, they were in the government not that long ago (and we still have a lot of corruption scandals from that time). They consider themselves anti-establishment because they are pro controlled migration.



Are you on the wrong board or just Zizek?

Well, technically it's still the 2nd round.
Yes, the candidate with the most votes wins.
Well, I like to compare it to Trump/Clinton. Of course it's not as bad as the media might want people to think but it's still bad. The guy was (or is, I don't remember exactly anymore) in a fraternity which doesn't recognise the Austrian state.


Gives me a chance to leave the house.

I'm pretty crushed. We were on the verge of importing our new brown proletariat, and now the damn natives are voting against their disposession.

Oh well Holla Forums we can't win em' all.

Why is that bad? Doesn't it make sense for Austria to be part of Germany?

hi Holla Forums your quarantine zone is that way

>>>Holla Forums

fuck off I post where ever I want whatever I want. Deal with it.

What's your problem pal? I'm here to commiserate with you. We almost destroyed western civilization. So close. Sad!

servus comrade, you are not alone

Well, worded that way, it's not. Most of this board would like to do away with the state, after all.

But this fucking comment. Yep, let's exchange a small nation-state for a big imperialist one, that will sure be better mate.

classic Holla Forums "quality shitposting"

Yay!


Nations are a spook ngl. But Austria is still totally seperate from Germany (excluding, to some extent, Bavaria). It only makes sense if you believe in German-speaker superiority.

Austria and Germany are two different countries since 1866.

So basically communism?

...

marxists.org/archive/trotsky/works/1944/1944-fas.htm

uwot? Who doesn't accept Austria as a nation?

Hofer for Kaiser

Hofer belongs in the trash

Stay mad,

Eat my boogers

Well g'day sports.

What are you going to vote for president?
A kangaroo or something?

hehe memes

To be fair, all left-wingers are socialist by definition.

What?

Election day today, lads. GET HYPE.

Austria means Österreich in German

if you're austrian and don't vote fpo, you support the eu and are not a leftist.

Duh. But it's from The Simpsons and it's pretty funny.


Why?

Because the green one is a neocon and actually worse. Hofer might not be leftist but he's against the EU bureaucracy and might deliver a referendum.

All while meanwhile making Austrian bureaucracy bigger and enforcing a harder police state. Both candidates aren't satisfied with the current state of the EU.

I don't respect anyone who with a straight face says the eu should stay and not be destroyed.

Both candidates want the EU to stay.

Fuck the EU.

that's exactly the opposite of what I said. fuck the EU indeed.

Yes, yes, fuck the EU and so on. DiEM25, bitches.

no

Say that to my face not online see what happens

Yes, Heil Hofer!

What a great time to be alive.

Based Hofer will win and will kick out all "refugees". Hopefully it's Anschluss then soon, just the other way around this time.

...

Good webm, will vote Van der Bellen now.

Hofer is obviously the best accelerationist choice.

Fuck the EU!

you wish

A large socialist government that colludes with big business.

...

lel

cuck

no u

looks like a closet gay

wow that was totally homophobic and offensive to all gays please don't do that ok thanks

For anyone interested, van der Bellen won.

God damn it this is some hardcore reddit-tier autism going on there.

Holla Forums BTFO BTFO

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Linksbernd hatte fest damit gerechnet, daß die Schluchtenscheißer Hofer wählen. Dort gibt's ja nicht mal ein relevantes Äquivalent zu unserer Linkspartei.

Well, yes. I absolutely hate how the liberals currently celebrate this as a victory for the future. The problems we face are still here. One election (more like a spectacle) isn't going to change that.


lmao


KPÖ is better than what you have, no?

can you please fuck off? I don't care if you're shitposting or not.

Why is leftypol so obsessed with pol? Not that it matters as we're all irrelevant.

half of the post ITT are Holla Forums, some are quite smug too,

Holla Forums posts here. I just like to laugh at them when they get BTFO. Would never post there.
