Yes, it's probably a quite global phenomenon.

"I am from Austria" by Rainhard Fendrich includes a line saying "I know the people, I know the rats, the blatant stupidity". So it's quite obviously critical of Austrian society, and was written with the purpose of uniting Austrians against Naziism.

Of course the rightwing parties are stupid enough to use it.
