    Yes, it’s probably a quite global phenomenon.

    “I am from Austria” by Rainhard Fendrich includes a line saying “I know the people, I know the rats, the blatant stupidity”. So it’s quite obviously critical of Austrian society, and was written with the purpose of uniting Austrians against Naziism.

    Of course the rightwing parties are stupid enough to use it.

      Nah, I’m from Austria is just an honest reflection of the fucked up thing we call society, but still love it

      It’s the Suderantentum in lyrics, imho it’s the perfect hymn for our country

      Edit: was too quick with my reply and missed the part about right wing not getting the criticism. I’m completely with you on that one

        Not that I know, but I remember that the “peace advocating” Germans used “Imagine” in their protest - the protest that wanted Germany to force Ukraine to surrender to Russia as not to warmonger
