Why more young men in Germany are turning to the far-right

The world loves those enforcing rules, because they have to be strong for that, and the world loves those breaking rules, because if today they are making a challenge, tomorrow they might become even stronger. Humans follow strength. So a new challenger of existing order is loved, a yesterday’s challenger who is still not a triumphant is hated.
In my experience, a good microcosm example of that is sports; specifically MMA. Just have to pay attention to how quickly the narrative and majority opinion changes based on who has most recently won their fights. You also often see subconscious racism (or at least I like to think it's subconscious) affect people's opinions of fighters.

I think the point is not "this is all TikTok's fault", the point is things like TikTok makes it a lot easier to spread misinformation. People have shorter attention spans nowadays, and they prefer to spend their time consuming short form content, such as the kind found on TikTok. The problem with this is that it takes a lot more effort to correct wrong information and educate people than it takes to spread misinformation. For example, it's much easier to take clip something a politician says out of context and to make a 5 or 10 second clip or people to watch, than to convince people to watch a 5 minute interview or read an article for context.
And even though I don't use TikTok, I still kind of insert my self in here; I don't have the mental fortitude or patience to read every single article I come across, so I often read diagonally, check the summary, or just stick with the title.

Fucking Hans... You think you're a superman?

I gotta say, watching them destroy the world is not making me a fan of young men.

What about doing my own content? Podcasts, screaming asshole youtubes and whatnot? I can't speak very well, much less write, but I can... do something

Not all over though. China isn't electing Sieg Heil, and neither is the Sahel

Hungary and Russia have handed the reigns over to their dictator. Trump is working on it.

The Jew hate originally stemmed from the fact that they could loan money and charge interest, which Christians found to be a sin (usury). Well, somebody has to handle banking or the economy crashes. Made them perfect scapegoats.
"I must be suffering because the Jews stole my money!"
Then it gets worse. Jews had strict rules about cleanliness, you can find many of them in the Bible. Guess who did and didn't get hit with plague rats. Guess who got the blame.

Yeah, you got it!

A desperate belief that they are impoverished because they need to compete with an ethnic out group and a belief that the out group is taking their shit, murdering them, and stealing/raping their women.
Even though its largely due to capitalism and technologically induced paranoia & loneliness.
