That, to clarify matters, isn't a simple rightwing populist, that's a german nationalist with a past of being apologetic towards the Hitler regime. Now, the president isn't a very powerful office in Austria, but with the very real chance of a far right/right coalition after the next general elections, checks and balances are out of the window, with the possibility of changes to the constitution. In short, we're going down the Hungarian or Polish shitter next.

German nationalists.. What could possibly go wrong there?
If you guys do go off the rails again, maybe start with the middle east and North Korea this time. Think of all the oil and kimchee you'll have.
Yea, all you have to do is peddle a utopia, sell the idea that a god gave you rights and dominion over everyone and everything, which is what Hitler did. But don't feel bad, Muslims and Jews depending on location all think their respective god/s gave them the right to "defend" their territories.
But that is what all religions teach. Tribalism. And as much as I love liberals of all religions, they forget that the tribalists in all camps use the very same books they do to come to very different conclusions.
