WHO says only left wing viewpoints are to be held here ? Actually, both the German and the Austrian legislature say that. They are bound by their WWII peace treaties; they have work against any neo-nazi or right-wing propaganda and ideally support a centrist view. I don't believe that there's similar legislation governing left-wing views and propagande, unless they can be labeled as communist, which will once again get you into hot water. 71.198.59.81 07:22, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

  • umm, everybody is entitled to their own opinion in a free, democratic society, and just because you are "leftist" or "rightist" doesnt mean you are necessarily a neo-nazi or an extreme communist. Considering Austrians ethnically as German does not mean you are a neo-nazi, or on the extreme right and you can't use such a silly and opinionated statement on WIkipedia on Wikipedia, especially whne its unsupported by a source.
Of course, your are entitled to your opinion and if you and your immediate family consider yourselves to be German because of your Swiss German or partial Swiss German heritage, that's fine. However, if you would like to extend that view onto all German-speaking Austrians, then things move from a personal level to a politically and historically charged level. Currently, there's is only one political movement in Austria that suggests that "that Austrians should think of themselves as belonging to a greater German cultural community". This party happens to be the FPÖ, which is recognized as not only right-wing, but extreme right-wing and it earned Austria the honor of an EU ban following its election into a governing coalition a few years ago.
I'd be happy to provide any pointers to you, if needed. Considering that this is again common knowledge for anyone from that region, your reaction is a bit strong, wouldn't you say? Nobody is labeling you as right-wing per se, we only object to your insistence to portray things in a certain way, which happens to be inconsistent with the majority view and reality even. 216.104.211.5 18:53, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Of course you can not use simply your own personal persepective to speak for all Austrians and all Swiss Germans, but it is the varying opinions of all of us as a whole that does matter. You are simply ignorant if you claim that all Austrians and Swiss who consider themselves to identify their ethnic group as also German to automatically belong to extreme right wing. It does not matter if someone who believe such is right-wing , extreme right wing, left wing, whatever, and you cant make such generalized associations as that itself speaks from an authoritarian viewpoint.

There is no need for you provide "pointers" to me, especially from someone such as yourself who has made ignorant opinions and comments. It is common knowledge from anyone in this region that many recognize and take pride in their continuing connnectoin with German culture and identity. Just because Austria and Germany have been separate nations for 50 years or so, does not mean this all of sudden ignores over 1000 years of a common culture, language and identity of the peoples. Your unsourced comments shouldnt be made to be the rule here, I mean who the fuck are you to impose your opinion on others as fact when you have NOTHING to back up what you speaking on ???

Excuse me, when exactly have you lived in either Austria or Switzerland? If this topic upsets or angers you, wait until you calm down so we carry this discussion further on a more rational level. 71.198.59.81 05:03, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
