Ask an Austrian

What is Austria's relationship with Germany like? Both in a political and in a more pop cultural way.

On a more joking note: Why is Austria so sneaky?
 
I'm going clubbing in Austria this year as I hear the underground house scene is really taking off.

On a serious note, how do people in Austria view the likes of Britain and France and their global military adventures?
 
politically?
well both countries are part of the eu, both are net contributors, so rather close.
public discussions of socio-political topics started in germany usually end up in austria soon after.
the landscape of political parties is superficially almost the same.

pop culturally we hate them for being snooty dicks who think they own the world.


i never heard of austria being sneaky, as i remember we went head first into two world wars.
 
On a serious note, how do people in Austria view the likes of Britain and France and their global military adventures?

hardly at all.
they're nothing more than insignificant appendages of us military adventures anyway.

those are generally viewed negatively with an unhealthy dose of anti-americanism.
(anti-americanism is bascially the political opinion equivalent to watching reality tv.)
 
Are you planning on uniting with Germany anytime soon?

How popular is Sepp Holzer in Austria?
 
Sepp Holzer is a dude who runs an ecological farm and writes books about it. He is quite popular here and is pretty much the only thing I know about Austria.

Quite a few haven't involved the US or haven't been the idea of the US but that's a talk for another time. Thanks for your answer though.
 
Came across this recently, so this thread comes in handy: do you know what's up with the hammer and sickle in your coat of arms?
 
What culturally defines the Austrian people as a separate people from the Germans? Do austrians define themselves primarily by their differences from the Germans (like the Canadians with the US)?
