Not that anyone cares but I think Austrians view Czechs the same way that Czechs view themselves in that image. I don’t know how it is the other way round, if they hate Austrians for the counter reformation, the monarchy, Nazis or all of the above.
I think most people here just view AH as a fact of history and don’t have many grudges against you in the modern day. Some people tend to be a bit jealous of Austria being ‘richer’ than us today, but honestly I think that’s a stupid thing for them to care about. I think the language difference is unfortunately quite a barrier for most Czechs to have any sort of closer relationship to/understanding of you all (this may well change with younger people speaking English obv)
I do agree. The monarchy is back long enough that it is fading into the background. However, in Bratislava they are larping Habsburger coronations every year, but Slovaks are different in some ways ;)
jk I have never experienced a problem getting around in Czechia but I have been mostly in Moravia close to the border or in cities like Brno or Praha. Young people can usually speak English well enough to make themselves understood on both sides of the border I think but maybe that’s my bubble.
He does sing the whole song in what I assume is a noticeable Czech German accent. This accent has pretty much vanished from Vienna’s streets I think. Those families who used to be called “Behm” are now the true Viennese and they are calling now people with Serbo-Croatian accents names … ok, that’s a generalisation but the irony is there nonetheless.

True. Also, I don’t think most Czechs realize how many Czech surnames there are in Vienna lol
