I'm sick of my country

[Aractus]

So, we had the first round of presidential elections today and it turned out the far right candidate came in first. 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.

Yep I read a Journal article on the rise of far-right nationalism in Europe. We're not at all affected by that shit here in Australia, and that's because we are quite literally the most successful multicultural society in the world, and consequently we don't view foreign cultures as a threat to our own. Migrants here are seen as equal citizens. Even in Japan - the country with the highest life expectancy and one of the lowest income inequalities they have tiered citizenship with migrants being lower, and also their Indigenous people being seen as lesser citizens.
