Austria: Numbers Show Support for War is Coming from Boomers

Numbers from Austria show that the overwhelming support for the war on Russia is coming from wealthy boomers.

According to the INSA opinion research institute survey published on Friday in the outlet eXXpress, 41% of Austrians want sanctions to end, 37% want them to continue, while 22% wouldn’t say or didn’t care – a much higher percentage than usual.

Support for the embargo came mainly from richer, older and left-wing Austrians. The 60 and up age group favored the sanctions by a 12-point spread, 49% to 37%. The youngest group surveyed, 16-29, showed only 22% in favor of the embargo to 39% opposed. The strongest opposition to the sanctions was among the 40-49 cohort, with 47% wanting them lifted.

Only 24% of those with a monthly income of €1,000 ($1100) or less wanted the sanctions to continue, compared to 51% of the €4,000 bracket.

The divide was also noticeable across the political spectrum. Whereas 73% of the Green voters wanted the sanctions to continue, 72% of the Freedom Party voters wanted them lifted. On the political left, only 31% opposed the sanctions, while that percentage rose to 59% on the political right. 

The telephone and online survey was conducted on a representative sample of 1,000 Austrians, on April 3-4.

These numbers are in stark contrast to the narrative being spread on social media that supporting the war is a hip and fashionable thing to do, and that the war has a lot of youthful energy behind it.

It was always ridiculous to imagine that there were a lot of young people being moved by cringe memes and even cringier videos of dancing warrior women.

In actual reality, support for the entire leftist project is coming from boomers, and with boomers aging and dying off, we’re going to see a shift towards the right.

You see groups of young people shouting “Nazis fuck off” at people trying to sanction trannies, but the reality is that these are a fraction of the youth. It is simply that the boomers have built a system where your life will be destroyed if you question the tranny agenda, so you don’t see the young people who are anti-tranny in public demonstrating.

Young men like stuff that is funny and cool. You are never going to see anything that is either of those things coming from the left, because no intelligent young men support the left. What’s more, the left is utterly humorless, so even if they did have intelligent young men supporting them, it would be impossible to make any of their narratives funny.

The left is purely dogmatic and purely driven by hatred and a desire to force conformity. The youth are disaffected and tired of this boomer nonsense that has destroyed their lives and futures.

The Ukraine war is the epitome of boomerism. It is so very decadent and so very gay that it really embodies the pure spirit of the boomer mindset.
