    Mainly because they’re the losers of globalism, and the failed integration of immigrants. They can only afford to rent in areas that immigrants are pushed into for the same reason. So their kids go to school in classes where almost no education is possible because more than half the children can’t speak German, and they are subject to crime and run-down surroundings.
    Then it’s easy to rile them up against immigrants, which seem to be the cause of their problems, instead of the upper class that actually caused all this, through the use of weaponized social media.

    Ironically, but understandingly, the same immigrants who are also part of the working class, are drawn to the far right as well, because they suffer from the same problems as the German working class, and also feel that it’ll get worse if more immigrants pour into their living space.

    I personally know a woman from Hungary who votes far right to prevent more Hungarians from coming in, cause she fears they’ll bring with them the same problems she moved to Germany to avoid.

      Okay great, but the far right never has the answers to economic woes. Ask Brazil, UK, Italy etc

      Edit also, it’s not the powerless immigrants fault that the neoliberals have consistently shat the bed for so long.

      Countries with the Nordic model see a decrease in far right ideology, the problem is plain as day. Ruling class decidedly needs a class to exploit, and they keep the useful idiots busy by pretending their issues are because of immigrants.

      No, vote more progressives in positions of power and authority, and ask them to create social welfare programs like those in civilized countries

        Indeed. The answers they have are easy, quick and wrong, but a peeved populace stops thinking at quick and easy.
