This is a reaction to far-right Islamists becoming German citizens, something the left is unable to address because it feels honorbound to tolerate intolerance from anybody
The far-right islamists aren’t the problem populists make them out to be in germany. The solution they provide is also very xenophobiv and will only make stuff worse. This isn’t a reaction to them it’s just the german people failing to recognize what is true and what you shouldn’t believe in politics. Also it’s very attractive to listen to the simple solutions these parties suggest instead of actually finding something that would fix the problem
take a close look at a case where a convicted criminal hasn’t lost their protection despite being a previously recognized fugitive
look at the reasons why a court has difficulties with it
look at the situation that caused the crime
decide what to do with the laws or the situation of the fugitives
Populism is just being a lazy fuck and don’t even start to search for any solutions. And being a lazy fuck is the primary problem with all those nazi fans in Germany.
Populism is simple explanations meant for simple people.
Same reason why Religion got so popular and it’s still so popular: it gives people the simple <deity> did it explanation for things which would be way harder for one to feel they understood if they got the Scientific explanation.
It’s amazing how many people have an strong emotional rejection of anything even in the slightest way complex, especially as they age - I suspect they’re not even aware that their anger at being given complex explanations is not about the contents of the explanation but about the unpleasant feeling when one has difficulty following something.
If I remember it correctly there are studies showing that people who fall for Rightwing Populist tend to be less intelligent and/or less educated.
But if they don’t advertise their solutions to the voters and rely on them asking or seeking that information out, then that seems like a really bad way to do it. Most voters aren’t going around asking parties their policies but rather rely on parties advertising it.
Right wing parties like AfD want to get rid of everyone who is not a perfect German. Many people who have citizenship have a mixed origin. These are not “true Germans”.
Other parties are careful. They respect the constitution. And they know that without foreigners, German economy in all sectors would become difficult to handle. Many companies and services rely on foreign workers. So it’s not that easy as it seems. Foreigners don’t choose Germany as much, as they think. And this is even more a problem.
Also AfD says lots of bullshit. They lie that Germany does not already expel criminals. No one cares to look at facts. For many it’s easier to believe those fucks from AfD than to actually check what they say.
It’s actually pretty insane how quickly the extreme right has evolved from: “we are against immigration of Muslims because they are intolerant to Western values” towards antisemitism, bigotry towards LGBTQ and love of Putins authoritarianism. The daylight between fundamentalist Islam and parties like AFD is getting smaller and smaller. The only difference is, you guessed it, the color of their skin.
Oh yea, the native German far right have a grab basket of abhorrent BS behind whatever popular legitimate grievance is the hot topic in the country. German anxiety about far-right Islamists is the gateway drug to the pro-Putin ideological buffet
a reaction to far-right Islamists becoming German citizens
I mean, its certainly reactionary. But so much of the response is hysterical. It isn’t rooted in current events nearly so much as it is a response to mass media fixating on Muslims as The Other and overreporting - even straight up fabricating - events intended to make Muslims look uniquely dangerous.

Antisemitism Islamphobia is the Socialism of Fools.
German labor leaders need to incorporate migrant laborers into their coalitions or they will continue to be a wedge that drives apart the older generation from the new. As it stands, the miniscule number of new Muslim workers have become the scapegoats in a global capitalist project to dismantle European domestic industry.
Germans are turned at each others throats so that their landlords can pick their pockets and loot their corpses when the killing is done.
I’m not far right myself. I’m a Canadian Trudeau voter. I’m just saying that I think seeing far-right Islamists triggers the native far-right in Germany more than Trudeau triggers anti-vaxxers in Canada

Small lesson on populism.
Populism: “They do nothing.”
Not populism:

Have the other parties been offering more concrete solutions to the immigration issue?
Have you read about their views or asked them?
I’m not a German, I was thinking you’d know.
But if they don’t advertise their solutions to the voters and rely on them asking or seeking that information out, then that seems like a really bad way to do it. Most voters aren’t going around asking parties their policies but rather rely on parties advertising it.

You guys can really whine about those things, don’t you?
There are less than 4% people who believe in Islam in Germany.
Are you afraid they are going to take over your precious extreme right? Since you guys have the same morals and values it seems.

So it’s because of Solingen? Their surveys were good before that, too.
