#sosorry
>>51560510

>>51560574
>they did some mental gymnastics to escape the mental guilt of ww2,

nobody ever really connects austria with nazis anymore, especially not like with germany

>>51560169
>does austria have a national identity
"We are totaly not being german, I swear"
>>51560292

>how does austrian culture differ from german?
austrian culture is different from german culture by not being german
>>51560765
South not east
>>51560374
There was the HRE and after that the German Confederation that was created by us in 1815 to coordinate the economies of separate German-speaking countries and to replace the former Holy Roman Empire. However there was a pissed little militaristic half-slav nation called Prussia that bugged us.
Eventually they started a war and attacked their fellow states of the Confederation in order to get the whole Confederation for themselves. The German-Prussian war started, which the Prussians won because we got betrayed by our ally and actually same german people by ethnicity and tradition, the Bavarians). The Prussians took our throne and made their North-German Federation, in which they kicked us out. Eventually they started to call the Federation, the "German Empire" from which later to some wars came the Germany you know today.

>austrian culture is different from german culture by not being german

>>51560851
austria is every year world champion in mental gymnastics
>>51560169
Ukraine of a German race.
>tfw in 100 years austria will be considered as "german" as the netherlands are
>>51560847
The moment all went horribly wrong.
You were the chosen one austria....
>>51560916

>>51560169
>we wuz emprahs n shiet
>>51560843

>Osterreich - Eastern Reich
>>51560169
Lol
>>51560971
Ukraine is real Russia so yes.
>>51560847
>prussia not the elephant
>austria not the lion
>>51560994
Ahh ok, was thinking about culture.
Funfact: France and UK are Reichs too in german.
Austrian culture >>>>shit>>>>>> German "culture"
>>51560847
>However there was a pissed little militaristic half-slav nation called Prussia that bugged us
Although you're not half wrong, I sense some butthurt there, von Habsburg
austria was invented to protect the other germans from turks and slavs
they are hard cunts but the other germans are soft cunts
t. expert of history at usa university
>>51561101
>austria was invented to protect the other germans from turks and slavs
they're doing a shit job
>>51561047
Austria was always bigger than Prussia. An elephant isn't a predator, but a lion is.
>>51560374
>how does austrian culture differ from german?
it doesnt.
>>51561047
different times then burger, it happend to me, it will happen to you.
We do, but we have our regional identities too that matter more to us.
>>51561117
i dunno m8
in civ iv i always build salzburg at the alps to keep the greeks and russians (e.g. turks and slavs) out of the west and it works quite well desu
>>51561047
No.
>>51561101
>austria was invented to protect the other germans from turks and slavs
But the other germans had some poles had to save them from the turks. (yes contrary to popular polish propaganda the vast majority of the relief forces came from hre and they actually did fight too, even the famous cavalry charge [after 3 days of fighting] was not poles only)
>>51561140
It does a bit, it's just we're the closest with them.
>>51561229
*and some poles
>>51561229
this is german propaganda
>>51561283
Why dont you read it up?
>tfw german nationalist
>tfw people'd call you nazi if you ever admit it
>>51560574
>>51560663
dont listen to the german, austrias society is deeply ridden with ww2 guilt, there is no difference to germany in this aspect.
everyone who has right wing views is considered a nazi here, which pretty much can end careers and make you an outcast pretty fast.
thats why we take in even more "refugees" per capita than germany.

>does austria have a national identity?
yes, a very strong one. the other austrian poster has already done a decent job explaining some reasons why and i will not enact the labor of explaining it to you any more. please refer to history books or wikipedia if you must.
>>51560169
yes, we have
>>51561399
americans can't even tell austria and australia apart
nobody cares about austria's involvement in the six billion
>>51561507
>the other austrian poster has already done a decent job explaining some reasons why and i will not enact the labor of explaining it to you any more. please refer to history books or wikipedia if you must.
this is not a very german reply

>americans can't even tell austria and australia apart
obama thought austrian was a language, he was half-right on accident
>nobody cares about austria's involvement in the six billion
yes, we did good on that. heredetary guilt is dumb anyway.
>>51561643
>obama thought austrian was a language, he was half-right on accident
americans thought the chechen boston bombers were from the czech republic
czech republic's government had to issue a PSA

>>51560847
He is right.
>>51561625
we are not working class burger, our peak nation are mostly descendants of aristocrats that ruled over the HRE and the German Confederation, also our mentality and identity is based upon that. If you need work efficiency get a worker a.k.a "the German".
>>51561625
>this is not a very german reply
all the proof you will need, yes?
no wonder germany genocided an entire race just to get separated from austria forever
the country is full of cunts
>>51561625
>i will not enact the labor of explaining it to you any more.
>not a very german reply
Seen this several times.
Is it true that we are the explanation autists on /int/?
>>51561877
i guess something like a wall would have been more efficient, but that's germany for you
>>51561881
any true german would take any opportunity to explain the superiority of germany
>>51562214
Any true german has already noticed that germany is doomed.
>>51561578
>nobody cares about austria's involvement in the six billion
european boomers care very much about that, especially left wingers.
>>51562602
>caring what yurops think about you
move to pennsylvania, claim you're amish
Germans are completely different in every way except Bavaria, prove me wrong.
>>51562214
I wish the germans would just stop building bunkers on our beaches
Just fucking stop
>>51561370
Just say you are no tgerman but austrians and germans are the same people.
Can't deny that and you skipped the faulty NAZI circuit.
>>51563231
What about the rest of osuthern germany?
>>51560169
Do Germans have?
You say beer and oktoberfest, that is a bavarian thing only (not german identity). and their culture and mentality is provided by us mostly.
>>51561370
I'm disgusted, get out.
>>51563537
Disgusted by what?
Where is the big difference?
Hating Serbs
>>51563617
Prussians are not human
>>51563656
Luckily for you, they don't exist anymore.
>>51563688
anything above Bavaria is Prussia
>>51563726
It is just memeing and you know it, as if hessians or swabians were prussian.
We have seperate national and cultural identities, that is ok..but we are still more similar to each other than to anyone else.
>>51563638
actually austria doesn't hate serbs, our most right-wing nationalist party is a true serboo and has serbian members of the party in the austrian parlament.
>>51563900
Are they united against muslims?
>>51563900
he just does it to get their votes because he knows theyre dumb and easy
we still dont like serbs
>>51563933
serbs dislike turks, we dislike turks, it bonded.
>>51563791
With Bavaria yes, the north is way more similar to Denmark imo
>>51564041
well not that we like anyone, but the right-wing party has the most votes from the serbs (of other migrants), thus the most radical nationalists and serbs have their common ground.
austrians are more folkloristic and mountainfags
germans are a bunch of autistic post-industrial poles
>>51560169
Yup
This is it
>>51565374
>germans are a bunch of autistic post-industrial poles
kek
>>51568560
reminder that nobody voted for this abomination to represent us at eurovision, it was quite literally forced onto us by some radio network after he participated on the austrian version of american idol.
i wonder who could have been behind that...
