Why 80% of Austrian Farmers Hated the Catholic Church More Than Vienna Did
Johannes Thonhauser's research on the Carinthian soul reveals a shocking historical anomaly: in the 1930s, rural Austrian farmers trusted the Catholic Church less than secular city dwellers. Discover how centuries of trauma, crypto-Protestantism, and a mass exodus in the 1930s created a region that worshipped God but despised the institution. This video explores the seven dimensions of Carinthian regional habitus, from deep distrust of authority to explosive public emotions, and how this rejection paved the way for Nazism. A mind-bending look at power, deception, and the limits of human compliance.
