Oh boy, Austria is such a banana republic, except allowing the corruption and foreign influence is at least semi-intentional, it's like their selling point.
It's not easy, since many places in the western world moved sharply right in the past few years.

We used to have Christofascists and guns but we got rid of both. Get your Australian citizenship and you can help keep them out. We have China that buys our dirt and sells us screens and gadgets. Drug regimes are $20. Nazi salutes are illegal. Guns are illegal if you cant show you need one.

It's kinda serious. Austria offers relatively easy dual citizenship to ancestors of Jews that fled from there. And, from that point, you have access to the EU more broadly, so you're necessarily screwed if Austria in particular becomes unlivable.
Americans often confuse it for Australia. As an Australian I beg of you to make the same mistake. We shall adorn you with floral reefs, visa, and welfare
Elon was just throwing his hands out in a fit of joy! He's such a fountain of unbirdled happiness and innocence and is too pure for this world! How dare you bring facism into this! Prehpas we could all learn something from him?

Have you seen the version where it looks like he does the nazi salute but it's actually something else entirely and just a big boo-boo? Huh, weird, guess you need to smoke more journalism.
