Reminder that Alto Adige is rich only because the italian government lets it keep most of their taxes, they have no interest in seceding from Italy

So this time the eternal Austrian is going to get rid of Italy early?

Logan Campbell
Honestly I don't understand why people are so buttmad about this, we barely consider them italian whenever we hear their horrendous italian.
Frenchies and Spaniards speak better italians than filthy Südtir*oler. They can take their citizenship and fuck off to Austria.
Andrew Lewis
this, is not even about muh lands. It's just giving some larpers documents. Hopefully they can leave italian lands to head more north and leave us our Lebensraum
Lucas Sullivan
THIS i hope they exile themself
Easton Miller
>What is the endgame of the eternal A*strian? Ruining Europe for the nth time.
Justin Edwards
Why is this still an issue? North of the province that is full of Austrians should come to us, the southern half with Italian population should stay with Italy and become a normal province.
Other than that I fully support the government on this. These people have resisted fascist oppression and eradication campaigns for 100 years now, they are our people and we must support them in any way we can.
Josiah Murphy
based austrians should ask for reparations too
Julian Baker
>autrians starting shit in europe
Nothing new
Kevin Phillips
Austria is going to get buttblasted in every diplomatic way possible, they like to act like little Germany so they might think they hold the same weight in European politics but they fucking don't. This is a blatant land grab on their part and it's not going to end well for them.
Noah Collins
wasn't supposed to be a reply but since it's an austrian post ill leave it up lel
Adam Butler
>they're still mad
Jackson Reyes
Essentially, austrians elected the a mad lad that's going full alt-reich. Forget Orban and PIS or AFD or any of the other conmen. This nigger is the one crazy enough to actually do shit. He's already passed a law that mandates all the valuebles refugees have on them belong to the state and will be used to fund their stay. Haha this fuck wants to reunite with Germany haha get your bunkers read haha
Charles Rodriguez
First the welfare refugees receive will be slashed by about 60% and in a second step they will receive only food and a place to sleep. Housing refugees in a private home will become illegal. Also cell phones and all data on it will be confiscated. And a whole bunch of other crap.
He's going in at full force.

But the people in south tyrol are austrian, i dont see what the problem is. We had a similar arrangement between northern and southern ireland
Cameron Nguyen
You should start yet another world war, maybe you will manage to not lose this one and recover all your territories. Until then, Austria stops at the Brenner
Liam Perez
They're austrians because we've protected their rights with mutual agreements with Austria. If they're gonna fuck things up we might as well abolish anything related to bilingualism, we'll see if they're still 70% German after 50 years.
Brody Wilson
only 63% of them, it is a balkan style region
Jason Phillips
Hahah wir sind wieder da!
James Morales
it's rich because the people are germans and not italian goblins
Luke Kelly
It's rich because they have almost no statal taxes and receive millions in gibs to prevent them from chimping out like they did in the '60s
Oliver Price
Grüßen Sie ihn schön von mir.
Ian Torres
austrians are far far far less right wing and nationalist than italians.
so this thread says a lot about italian nationalism and bigottery. italians hunger greedily for every tiny bit of land not caring what people live in it and what the people living there want.
they have never learned their lesson in ww1 and ww2. they are still fascist right wingers. you can see the ugly face of their stupid poisonous nationalism in this very thread.
the italians would be perfectly fine with italians in austria receiving italian passports.
Matthew Harris
>the italians would be perfectly fine with italians in austria receiving italian passports. Except there are no Italians in Austria that are not expats
Dominic Murphy
leave little germany alone
Samuel Brooks
>only 63% of them because Mussolini lowered the % with terronis

Too bad he stopped before he could make it 0% because he didn't want to hurt his buttbuddy's feelings
Ayden Anderson
in ww1 italians literally went to war and died in the ten thousands because they could not stand that there were italians in austria.
this mindset still lingers in the italian society. nationalism in austria got purged, nationalism in italy never got. you are full of it, i can sense it in you.
Austin Powell
>in ww1 italians literally went to war and died in the ten thousands because they could not stand that there were italians in austria. Yes, in 1915, you were talking at the present tense >this mindset still lingers in the italian society. nationalism in austria got purged, nationalism in italy never got. you are full of it, i can sense it in you. I'm not the one whose government is starting a diplomatic crisis over nationalistic issues
Matthew Perry
the thing about nationalism is that you need to have a nation to have any. What you call Austria (or rather what's left of it) would barely be a region in another country :^)

>I'm not the one whose government is starting a diplomatic crisis over nationalistic issues its not a nationalistic issue when austrians receive austrian passports. we have absolutely 0 quarrel with italy and south tyrol will never be austrian because austrians dont give a fuck to which country it belongs. i am an austrian right winger and i am perfectly fine with it staying in italy.
we are both in the EU, you can live in austria anytime you want and i can live in italy if i want. and then why should i give up my austrian passport when i move to italy? why should you have to give up yours when you move to austria?
do you think we are like the russians and our military will just seize the land? you are fucking kidding me.
Lucas Torres
>We finally get 1 nationalist/identitarian government in Europe >they immediately start shit with other Europeans giving credit to leftists when they say nationalism bring conflict Why are nationalists such brainlets? you can actually start lobbying for mass repatriation of non-Europeans and instead they talk shit about muh south Tyrol, I have no words. They can fuck off to Austria btw, they will get back their territory when we get back Corsica, the Cote d'Azur, Dalmatia, Istria etc. etc.
Jonathan Perez

Why did they offered such a thing? :3

Then why issue the passports if not for some sort of passive-aggressive revanchisme? >do you think we are like the russians and our military will just seize the land? you are fucking kidding me. No, but since those guys already have an history of violent terrorism, maybe it will spark back their homicidal vein. Also, you can't just unilaterally give citizenship to citizens of another country
Lincoln Edwards
Because Austrian nationalists are still butthurt over WW1 and Hitler being too much of a Mussolini fanboy to do anything about it
Carson Myers
>tfw we were the actual cancer of europe and not germany back in the days
Jackson Edwards
the austrian government is neither nationalist nor identitarian.
we are sweden tier leftists who give every "refugee" 900 euro per month unconditionally. weve been the country with the most asylum applications per capita in the EU and probably in the whole world for the last 2 consecutvie years, we ve even surpassed sweden and germany. in 2015 we took in 80.000 "refugees", 1% of the population. a right wing government wouldn do that.
and the party that was in the governemnt then is also in the new "nationalist" government. they are not right wing in the least. its a media hoax and you fell for it.
Chase Nelson
But we really didn't do much until 1936, if anything we were at the forefront of the anti-Germany coalition
Austin Smith
austria is giving out free passports? what the fuck?
Hunter Fisher
FRANZ DEN KAISER
Blake Smith
Such is the power of nationalistic butthurt
Eli James
>you can't just unilaterally give citizenship to citizens of another country every country does that. if you applied for american citizenship your country wouldnt even be informed of that. thats why so mayn people have dual citizenship. countries usually dont tell other countries the identities of their citizens.
no, absolutely not. you are not getting it. you project your own nationalism on austrians. i am swearing to you, austrians dont give afuck about nationalism. it is seen as nazi tier here. if youre an austrian nationalist people will give you weird looks and shun you.
i would be very happy if austrians were right wing leaning but they absolutely are not. they are sweden tier cucks.
Mason Gomez
Thank you. :3
Ayden Parker
>individual naturalization is the same as giving citizenship to a whole ethnic group living in another country Yeah, no
Adam Clark
Wouldn't such a move be considered imitation to what Orban did in Hungary by granting hundred of thousand ethnic related hungarian balkans citizenship in order to secure the vote for him? iirc southern Austria is considered a strache territory, I don't know if south tirol also share the same political views, but if so then you got your answer, it is not about land, it is about votes for future elections.
David Sanchez
I am proud of Austria :D
Nicholas Gomez
>no, absolutely not. you are not getting it. you project your own nationalism on austrians. i am swearing to you, austrians dont give afuck about nationalism. it is seen as nazi tier here. if youre an austrian nationalist people will give you weird looks and shun you. Then why are you giving those passports, since we are both EU and enjoy the exact same rights in our respective countries? Answer: because you are a bunch of revanchist krauts
Carson Phillips
>>they immediately start shit with other Europeans giving credit to leftists when they say nationalism bring conflict
Maybe because nationalism really brings conflict ;^)
William Brooks
>i am swearing to you, austrians dont give afuck about nationalism Didn't you just elect a partly nationalist government?
Luke Sanders
lel, usually the prove that you are part of an ethnic group is the fastest way to citizenship.
turks here in austria all have a turkish passport and are official citizens of turkey, same with iranians and a bunch of other nationalities. they only have to prove that they have turkish ancestry, nothing else. there is shit we can do about that because of course they dont officially tell.
israel grants citizenship the same way, prove that you are jewish and you are in.
its called ius sanguinis and is the worldwide leading principle of how to get a citizenship.
im betting even italy does it the same way.
Jordan Myers
>give passport to some sub-saharan rapist this is fine >give passport to people who share your religion, culture and language this is right-wing declaration of war
The conditioning is strong in the degenerated leftist mind
Owen Moore
>turks here in austria all have a turkish passport and are official citizens of turkey, same with iranians and a bunch of other nationalities. Wow, so immigrants are citizens of their country of origin? Never knew that! >its called ius sanguinis and is the worldwide leading principle of how to get a citizenship. And deciding to give it to people outside your own country has a clear political meaning, in this case: "South Tyrol is Austria please come free us from the ebul shitalian oppressors :("
Jason Hernandez
because austrians can apply for austrian passports the same way italians can apply for italian passports. thats a fundamental right of every citizen even our lefty cucks can accept.
its the right of every human on earth to apply for every citizenship on earth and every state can give it to every human being who wants it.
if south tyroleans truly feel themselves to be italian, then why would they accept the austrian citizenship?
if south tyroleans are really italians they will want to stay italian and will refuse an austrian passport the same way i would refuse an italian passport if it were offered to me.
so basically what you fear is that south tyroleans dont see themselves as italians and so you want to restrict their rights. thats pretty much straight ethnic nationalism.
Logan Harris
It's in their right to ask Austrian citizenship, but the Austrian government outright saying that all German speakers in Alto Adige will get Austrian citizenship is a provocation that in the past would have been met with war
Jeremiah Foster
So no problem with giving ticinoeses italian citizenship right?
Levi Rodriguez
Why not give it to Albanians that speak Italian, too? After all, they were part of the Italian Empire once! Then they can all legally move to Austria, which surely will not refuse them entrance, because they are absolutely not nationalists
Wyatt Thompson
>"South Tyrol is Austria please come free us from the ebul shitalian oppressors :(" thats your interpretation.
south tyroleans are very content with their status in italy and are strongly against reuniting with austria. if anything they would use a double citizenship to cherry pick from both nations.
fun fact: they already do that since they have many special rights in austria and in many cases are legally regarded as austrian citizens. this is not new but has never bothered you before.
you are only here because some italian news outlet propaganda has made a clickbait article in which they portrayed a foreign nation as your enemy and it triggered your primitive nationalist feelings. you totally fell for it and now you pester us here with your butthurt.
Noah Barnes
Many problems can only be resolved through conflict.
Kayden Nguyen
Doesn't matter now that leftists flooded Europe with shitskins. You reap the chaos you sow.
Jack Jenkins
If they already have special rights, if anyone can ask for any citizenship they feel like asking for, if ius sanguinis was already established in Austria, why is your newly elected government publicizing giving them passports?
Joseph Harris
What’ Up with u little austrians? Looking for trouble? Do we have to stomp ur face again? Pathetic pangermanistic swines
Noah Reed

Jace Morales
Italy always seem to me to be one of those countries that will blame all their problems on other poeple.
Elijah Hughes
Then maybe they shouldn't go reviving it with pointless stunts like this one
Gavin Lee
>why is your newly elected government publicizing giving them passports? politicians say all sorts of things, as an italian you should know that its mostly bullshit and hardly anything of it ever becomes reality.
i guess they will change the citizenship law to "everyone that has lived in the area of south tyrol for 20+ years may apply for austrian citizenship" and since it has to be made according to EU regulations, which forbid discrimination of other EU nationalities, i bet in the end it would even mean that ethnic italians living in south tyrol would be able to succesfully apply for an austrian citizenship if they wanted.
Christopher Nguyen
You are delusional.
Samuel Bell
We are the biggest self-haters possible, we just hate Austrians more

The Irish do that to people here all the time. I think Britain should offer them to pure Anglo diaspora.

they should extend the offer to venetians :D
Samuel Bell
Venetians may not be too fond of Italy, but they fucking hate Austrians
Kevin Hall
if the personal freedom and the civil liberty of a few dudes in the alps can undermine the national integrity of italy, then perhaps italy isnt very stable to begin with.
you italian guys in this thread are sheeple. i bet your politicians just laugh at their asses off because you are so easily to distract. they just point you towards an outer "enemy" and you will quickly forget the mass unemployment, the failing economy, the rampaging corruption, the mafia and the huge ever increasing unpayable debts. all of that is meaningless when you can attack some minority in the mountains.
