But Schallenberg is already losing control of his country. Police, trade unions, and the military are standing up against his “health dictatorship” mandates. Police officers are refusing to enforce the health passes. And Austrian Police and Army officials announced they will join the massive anti-government freedom protest scheduled for tomorrow.

Well.

I have to say this surprises me.

Maybe we can learn from history after all.

Fuehrer wannabe? Mussolini invented facism. But Hitler had the Ruhr valley industrial area.

So perhaps Mussolini was a bit jealous.

What’s the difference between a goal and a dream? Goals have plans.

Useless. These people are both evil and dumb. Now, Hitler, who was not dumb, did see this picture and came to the right conclusions.

“Oh, well, we’ll be just like them BUT BETTER; we won’t make their same mistakes, yasee.”

They never seem to think — and our respect for law and order tends to make it a long road — they’re going to end up the subjects of a similar photograph.

They need to be proved WRONG periodically.

Good gravy...yes!

Could you possibly imagine throngs of Austrians packing out the city centers singing “Edelweiss” at the top of their lungs like a revved up crowd at a soccer match?

What a message THAT would send!

The police union spokesman said the rules were unenforceable. They allow people to go out for work, school, the grocery store, medical care, the veterinarian, etc. So how can the police tell whether someone is on a legitimate trip?

So on the surface at least, it's not resistance in principle, but on practical grounds.

Schallenberg's government is exactly 8 days old, and only entered on the negligible support of the Greens. The protestors know this.

As if I have to make the point, Sebastian Kurz is very much alive and well and poised to make the Kurz III government once Schallenburg -- who is clearly not up to the task -- is deposed.

The problem is, with 2 days advance notice of Saturday’s protest, the people in the streets will be overpopulated with EU-imported anarchists, and the Austrian body politic will have to walk a fine line to ensure Kurz is returned.
