Alt-Text"Alternative für Deutschland mit Substanz" heißt jetzt "Für das, was Ihr wollt, müsst Ihr nicht AfD wählen. Dafür gibt es eine demokratische Alternative: die CDU", sonst ändert sich nix.

Actually getting where we need to be means shutting down existing uses of fossil fuels, not just supplementing them.

Up to 50,000 people demonstrated across Austria on Thursday against the far-right Freedom Party (FPOe) as it begins coalition talks to form a new government.

The FPOe won parliamentary elections in September for the first time ever, with almost 29 percent of the vote. While other parties initially refused to form a cabinet with the FPOe, the conservative People's Party (OeVP) reversed its position this week and agreed to negotiations. The talks begin Friday, with the FPOe holding a strong bargaining position.

In Vienna, thousands gathered late Thursday to oppose the potential coalition. Protesters held signs reading "Fight fascism" and "Nazis out".

Authorities estimated the crowd at 25,000, while organisers said it was closer to 50,000. Some demonstrators formed a human chain around the chancellery and shone their mobile phone lights at the building.

"I find it very dangerous to see that right-wing extremism has reached the centre of our society," retiree Veronika told RFI, adding she worried about the normalisation of the far right.

"Nobody is ashamed anymore, people get used to it so quickly. I'm afraid for our democracy, I don't want things to turn out like they did in Hungary.".

The far right has been a member of Austria's government several times but has never led the country’s nine million inhabitants.

Student Ines is horrified by such a prospect. "I believe many individual freedoms are under threat. It's the case for people from the LGBTQ+ community, for anyone from an immigrant background, for women, but also for all disadvantaged social groups," she said.

Others underlined the radicality of FPOe leader Herbert Kickl, who has tapped into voter anxieties over migration, the war in Ukraine and the Covid pandemic.

"Kickl spoke of keeping refugees in centres in a 'concentrated' way – it brings back one of the most terrible chapters in our history," said Felix, another demonstrator. "Someone who is prepared to polarise and provoke using words like that is prepared to do a lot of things."

The rallies, which also took place in Innsbruck, Salzburg and Graz, were called by more than 30 organisations including anti-racism groups and Greenpeace.

The far right has had a strong presence in Austrian politics since the 1980s. In 2000, the FPOe, under Joerg Haider, joined a coalition government – a first in the European Union.

Today the party leads one regional government and participates in four others.

So I'm not sure if this is age related or not. I'm a 21 year old male, maybe you could share your age as well.

So basically for a long time (probably my whole life) I had this deep longing/fantasy to live at a different place than the one I'm living right now. As if I don't belong where I'm from and need to be somewhere else to truly feel home. I'm from northern Germany and always had the deep desire of traveling places.

When me and my family went on vacation when I was a kid for example when we flew to Egypt it felt like a wonderful dream as if I was in heaven or something. I just love when I'm in totally different environments like coming from the cold Germany into a tropically warm climate, in a country that is very different, with very different culture and mentality in this beautiful and gigantic hotel resort.

Idk how to describe it but it's like my core desire got fulfilled.

I never felt home here in Germany and my deep desire always was to live somewhere else where there is a very different culture and environment.

A significant amount of time I always wanted to go to America. I've never been there so far unfortunately.

But I always had this feeling that I didn't felt right where I'm from and was always searching for this place where I can feel home, where it's wholesome and I feel freed from all worries, where I have deep/meaningful connections and can fully live in joy and embrace every little moment of life in this deeply joyful way like living like a child again.

I assume a lot of this is probably just some psychological phenomenon that is inducing a fake/unreal fantasy. I assume even if I could move to some other country I might not feel as joyful like when I was a kid and even if I do, at some point it might not feel special anymore and it might not be like I hoped.

So maybe this is just this classic "the grass seems always greener on the other side" thing and in reality it might not be like that.

But I wonder does any of you also have this deep inner fantasy of living in a different place/culture where it kinda feels magical to live and you have ultimate happiness? It might be something unrealistic or a place that doesn't exist but it's like a deep feeling in me and I wonder if others also have it. Maybe it goes deeper and it is this "leftover" from childhood that I remember and that I'm longing for? Maybe it's a fantasy of being a kid again?

I realized I have so many games on Epic and haven't played any of them, so I want to install some of them but with 300 of them I don't know where to start. I have an older PC so it won't be able to run those big titles, so other then them which games did you like the most? Genre doesn't matter
