    As a German who knows a lot of young men on the right, one thing I hear a lot is: „I don’t have a problem with immigration or foreigners in my country, I have a problem with foreigners building vibrant parallel societies in our country all the while our own culture, population and value system is dying in front of our eyes and we aren‘t even permitted to complain about it“

    The thing is that they are most popular in regions with low immigration to begin with. I agree though that we need better immigration policies, but the thing is that the AfD is very nationalistic, neoliberal and practice populism. They want to reduce immigration instead of improving it and garner people through pointless culture-wars, all while also appealing to the ultra-rich (which funnily enough, they don't publicly advertise, which isn't surprising, considering how many of their voters are low-earners). And their plans for retirement are absolutely garbage. It's basically "if we remove every left/green policy, then the problem solves itself", which isn't a real plan at all. I wish we had something like a substitute vote, which would give people the option to vote for smaller parties and as a result make our government less stagnant (all while still being stable thanks to the 5% hurdle). People are so afraid of losing their well-fair and parties are as a result afraid of actually taking action, which makes populism like this so, well, popular again. Do we really always need a world war to improve our government? Why is it so difficult to make it more democratic organically?

    Yeah but interestingly, this also the reason why governments are not working properly and efficient: Because no party was really strong, they had to form a 3-party-coalition. Now they are fighting and end up having worse numbers after the next elections. That is forcing them to form a coalition again. Which leads to more frustrating governements. Which leads to a strong opposition. The worst case scenario: A political landscape like in Sweden. Thousands of parties, no one is able to form a large coalition, so: Minderheitsregierung.

    The coalition is incapable of making consistent politics due to their internal conflicts. this in turn gets people to vote for the afd. plus the poor handling of corona and the refugee crisis made people vote for the afd. out of pure protest against the establishement and not because they really support the afds politics. for some its just the lesser evil. we've had 16 years of cdu/csu and the first legislative period of the ampel-coalition is about to end. what frustrates me personally is that cdu/csu are now blaming the coaliton for things they themselves messed up the past 16 years. as a german voter I can confidentally say that none of them represents what I'd call votable.

    The primary reason is migration. In Germany migrants are getting very high standards in terms of support, housing and medical care. As a consequence for the natives it’s harder to get doctor’s appointments, health insurance is getting more expensive, for childcare, migrants are prioritised since the goal is to integrate their children. The housing and renting market is very difficult since Germany is lacking flats. A minimum wage worker has hardly more money than somebody who doesn’t work since they get support from the state for rent and healthcare (which they get at the same standards). This makes working very unattractive. The main parties such as CDU and SPD are not addressing these problems.

    All of those issues you listed, are in fact very real, you're right. But the reason, for that is not migration. It's mostly the product of capitalist-greed. I can understand your frustration, but you won't solve those issues with trying to disenfranchise the already disenfranchised. We, as the working-class, have to stop playing the blame game. Instead of pointing fingers at each other we have to start to look upwards and realize that the capitalist class, only benefits from those stupid infights among the working class. Which is why a lot of, especially right wingers, who are, despite of what they're propagate, highly capitalist, try to push forward a narrative of culture war, anti immigration and so on.

    There's even more to it. A lot of major policy directions and societal developments are while not expicitely called that way practically seen as without alternative. There is some political competition about the hows, but practically none about the whats and wheres - among the centre parties (those which arent afd nor linke). This has, not entirely unjustified, left some with a loss in faith in the current implementation of democracy. To them the AfD is a party which restores democratic culture! This fact is so often missed. Public discourse likes to think that those voters want to abolish democracy, while this isnt their motivation at all.

Especially in eastern states they know how to reach the people and play with their fears. I do think that germany has a serious problem with open discourse. Alternative goals and ideas are most of the time pushed to the side - not rarely aggressively so. The media landscape is very homogenous in orientation and the one that isnt is most of the time fringe, which benefits extremists.

    I don't fucking get why the German Greens are opposed to Nuclear. It's a different story in australia where we don't have much nucelar infrastructure, so it's more efficient to use Wind, Solar and Hydro, but why decommission perfectly good non-greenhouse-gas-producing electricity generation when you're trying to reduce reliance on Carbon? Yes nuclear waste management is a problem, but not an impossible one to deal with.

The left-liberal world order "eats" our birth rates by the their false egalitarian ideology that is based on Marxism. The birth rates in Western countries heavily dropped (they were 2.5-3.5 per women) after the emergence of "the new left" in the US that started introducing so-called liberation from patriarchy by destroying the foundations of all the healthy societies. For example, Israel is a very conservative society in which the religion isn't even divided from the state. Their birth rates are around 3 per women. Another example is India - a 3-rd world country with approximately 2 kids per women (keeps actively dropping) with the highest proportion of LGBT by some reports and plenty of feminists that directly hate men.

What is needed is a sensible plan that isn't oscillating from a more-or-less open door policy or completely expelling immigrants. Something where we have a respectable system of integration that takes into account various individual considerations, while also making sure that the group isn't ostracized into various neighborhoods which leads to otherification and a sense of anger at society at large. Essentially what is needed is a humane policy that understands true humane policy comes at a middle way, not just open door everything.

Yet the government has continued to lure MORE asylum seekers into Germany, for instance, by raising social benefits to them. There is strong evidence suggesting that immigration by asylum seekers leads to more far-right voting in all of Europe. By the way, because I think many people do not understand why anyone would be against immigration by asylum seekers: immigration by this group has been found to increase crime rates and strain social security.

    Things that need to be mentioned: The motives of AfD voters are 1. immigration and 2. climate and Energie policies according to polls. I feel like immigration problem has not been addressed properly in this video. Immigration for much needed workers and asylum are to completely different things but are treated as one and the same. Germany has become the largest migration destination after the US but is much smaller and has a drastically different welfare system. 40% of immigrants live of welfare. The infrastructure just isn’t there to take up hundreds of thousands of refugees every year, a shortage of teachers, housing and medical facilities made drastically worse by asylum seekers which most of the time (over 90%) are not even allowed to be granted asylum according to the Dublin agreement and GG Articel 16a (2) which have been ignored since Merkel opened the borders in 2015. Immigrants from North Africa, the Middle East and Sub-Saharan Africa are according to the BKA over represented in violent crimes and the justice system has been way to soft in general in the last decades. Not only that but 2nd or 3rd Generation migrants even tho there parents are fairly well integrated like Turks or maroccans that came in the 1960-70 (although some of them still don’t even speak German) are more likely to commit crimes then European 3rd generation immigrants, this is due to the forming of subcultures due to cultural differences. This has become a problem in every country in Europe that has been open to multiculturalism. On top of all of this the current government decided to lower the years of living in Germany to apply for a citizenship from 8 years to 4 and in some cases even 3. These problems are not addressed or made worse with every passing year and are seem to be boiling over.

    Hey do you have a source for "40% of Immigrants live of Welfare" ? because that sound quiet insane + who even counts as an immigrant ? the number I found was ~24 miilion people who migrated or have parents who migrated to germany, assuming 40% live of welfare that would be almost 10million people. There are only like 3-4 million people who receive "Bürgergeld" (unemployment subsidies), and that's the total, not only immigrants. So a source for that claim would be nice

    One thing to remember is that the right wing of politics is a completely legitimate part of the political spectrum and NOT extremist. There cannot be a left without a right and vice versa. In the past, most parties have leaned so far left, that a part of our identity was missing. The conservative side. This balance is needed and is being restored at this moment. This is a good thing. Most media try to immediately lean towards claiming this to be Nationalsocialism (Nazis) but its not. At least not at the approximately 30% population currently in favor of the new party. In general, there is traces of old ideologies in each and every party, e.g. the CDU/CSU as well. These people are not in leading positions and wont dictate direction in any case, neither in the AFD nor in CDU or SPD. Our current government was elected despite being unqualified AND with legal cases against them. This is something completely unfathomable which can only be explained with massive amounts of dumbing down the population as well as migrants with voting rights hoping to keep the borders open for further migration of like minded people until a tipping point was reached which prevents this to be reversed. Here is where the migration problem unfolds! We have already seen where this will lead with massive amounts of migrants calling out for a Sharia law based Khalifat needed in Germany. Interestingly this is the exact opposite of the lefts agenda meaning they are being used to establish a political force entirely outside the german political spectrum which is entirely based on religious ideas, something western societies have moved on from long ago. This is dangerous and needs to be stopped. Like most left agendas going full circle this will also come back to haunt them at some point. (e.g. womens rights and benefits being contradicted by trans rights and benefits which effectively can lower the female quotes and lead to men in womens clothes again dominating natural women). In this case it will leave a lasting effect that is undesirable.

    It's because politicians have failed to address the major concerns of their citizens for a good 20 years or so and continue to do so. While Germany is still one of the more attractive countries to live in, the gap between poor and rich has increased, we're having issues in terms of education and qualified professionals, and most importantly migration politics have been an absolute mess for a long time. Couple that with Covid, Russia's war and our governments' response to the energy crisis and you have a recipe for disaster. If our established parties don't do something and do it quick this could very well get out of hand.

    I am not right wing and i disagree with a lot of AFD's goals, but i can understand people voting for them, because uncontrolled immigration is going on for too long already, punishment of crimes is too soft and none of the other political parties in the Bundestag is doing something about it. Most people "lost" their passports when they arrive here and without one it's hard to impossible to send them back, if there is no proper reason for them to stay (the majority). Germans do feel more and more as foreigners in their own country, me included. I have been absent from Stuttgart city for over a year now and it was bad before, but two days ago i have been to the main central station again and you barely see germans there anymore, only arabs, africans, gipsies from eastern europe (which are begging everywhere, even in trains) and so on. These are even using the surroundings to settle down and make themselves a "home" e.g. in the city park, which was full of trash everywhere. It was a disgrace. With all these people from which a lot of them are muslims and mostly young men which you often find in groups wandering the streets, no wonder people (especially women) do not feel safe anymore. There's currently no alternative to the AFD when it comes to stop immigration and i believe that's why this party is getting so strong. Immigration is good if it's controlled. Get the people into the country which can add some value to society. People that are civilised and respect a countries laws and traditions. People that do respect women's and LGBTQ rights - but this is not happening. Instead we are getting too many people, which just do not fit to what our country is standing for. And too many just coming here to make use of our social system, getting one baby after the other without even thinking about working. And these people are even getting more rights then working immigrants then. Short example: Women that are having babies cannot easily get deported into their home country, therefore babies are some kind of "insurance" for them to be able to stay. A good friend of mine (african girl) was working for several years and started a training to become an elderlies nurse - a position elderly homes are looking for desperately here in germany, because we do not have enough of them. What happened? She got deported! While in her training... I say: fuck the current immigration system and laws of germany. Its about time something is going to change! Too bad it has to be the AFD.

    That is actually based in the green parties founding history, they have always been at the forfront of the anti-nuclear movement here in Germany. Especially after Fukushima there was a MASSIVE media fear campaign here in Germany to convince the public to pressure the conservative CDU into making a law to stop all nuclear reactors (mostly run by right wing tabloids like BILD) This has led to us replacing it with brown coal. The dirtiest and most dangerous, fuel for power generation there is.

So every AfD voter can imagine what the AfD might do different in whichever way that voter would like things to change. Once the AfD would have to actually govern, they would have to provide solutions, and most likely any solution would split their voter base into 50% who thinks it's cool and 50% who think it's even worse than what the previous government did.

All the other parties speak the same: wanting to let everyone inside, not sending away refugees who killed/r*ped someone, want to dictate a specific language (genderism, censorship of "hate-speech"). Also they still want to keep up the high tax on income and make it less attractive for companies to settle here with their high restriction. So if at least another party like the CDU would go back to their roots and become more conservative, or the FDP would keep their promises and lower taxes for high-earning people or make it more attractive for companies to settle here, there would be an alternative,

I do hope things improve but i hope its not in the way of opposite extremes. the last thing anyone needs is a further right wing party to push to the opposite extreme of the current very centrist beurcracy focused mindset and do something drastic like force immigrants out.

    The rise of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party can be attributed to a combination of factors, including concerns about immigration, the economy, and dissatisfaction with mainstream political parties. The AfD capitalized on these issues, presenting themselves as a more conservative and nationalist alternative. Their anti-immigrant stance, skepticism of the European Union, and criticism of established political elites resonated with some segments of the population, leading to their increased support and electoral success. It's important to note that political shifts are complex and can't always be attributed to a single cause.

    The primary political reason for the AfD party is criticism of the European government (especially monetary politics). 2nd is criticism of globalisation. Then, they get soaked into the topic of mass migration. But on the other hand: everyone I know is aware of the chaotic migration politics in Germany since 2015. So , don't blame the player, blame the game.

    Germany’s politics are going to be chaotic by the end of this decade. Why? Demographics. A seriously declining population is going to lead to far less consumption and increased labor costs. As this seriously declining population plays out Germany’s economy will get much smaller and less competitive. And bringing in a lot of Muslims and Africans to make up the difference will cause massive social upheaval.

    Some years ago, I checked out TLDR news for the first time, for their coverage of Brexit. Their coverage was biased in favor of Remain, so I tuned out and stopped paying attention to them. I checked out this video to give them a second chance: it should be a good litmus test. Would they smear the AfD as far right? Would they present the AfD's position fairly, without passing judgment on it? I'm pleased to say they surpassed my expectations. Good job, TLDR team.

    This is actually the same problem in Romania as well. For over a decade, many romanians have become disilusioned with the centre-left PSD party and the centre-right PNL, because these two oftemmn make a lot of short-term problems that affected a lot of normal lives. As a result, many turned to anti-establishment parties, like the centrist USR and the far-right AUR party (both of whom have made platform on rooting corruption). As of now, AUR managed to become the third largest psrty in the Parliament and the first far right party since 2008 This is in the similar trend that happened in the 30s. Mainstream parties were unable to deal with the crises at the time and so the people turned to fascism as an alternative. And we all know how that ended.

    wow guys... you know that those kind of videos are one of the leading reasons why the AfD is becoming popuplar? in germany we have them a lot. people speak with everyone, literally everyone about why the AfD is popular, except the AfD and their voters. so yes, of course, there are many reasons. biggest one being that there is no better alternative anymore. because all other parties already prooved their uselessness. but this discrimination of by now 20% of the german population, just branding them, talking about them as they are just some weird phenomena, but not actually talking WITH them and adressing their particular needs, is what makes them associate with the AfD. because they are both oppressed parties. no talk show talks to them, no one wants to have them in their interviews, nothing. so stop your arrogance, if you really want to change something speak with the people and bring germany back to a way where we can defend the rights or the lower class without becoming nazis again, i'd really appreciate that.

Also the reason they are not as often in talkshows as other parties, is because they are not able to behave like normal human beings. Alice Weidel left the talkshow like a sorehead.

    These types of parties always remind me of that Heath Ledger Joker Quote about a Dog chasing cars, who wouldn't know what to do if he ever caught one. These types of parties want power to have power and they'll pick their support up whatever way they can. They tend to not have a coherent plan for when they would be in government because governing isn't on their agenda. They don't want to change or improve anything as a party, they just want to have influence and be seen as important. And that allows them to cobble together a mish-mash of ideologies and frustrated people from vastly different spectrums. Cause they are not planning on streamlining their policies thus don't have to deal with their base wanting vastly different things.

    I mostly agree, however they are willing to take draconian actions, and will want to govern when in power, just least competent at it. So if one hates different ethnic groups, or propping up others they dont like, if the party wont do anything too crazy, like defund or overtax anything crucial, whatever they will be bad at, to their base, it will likely look compensated for by their extremist policies that base desperate for. Technically, if they leave almost everything as is, and be economic and borders extreme conservatives, they will make their base, and almost anyone, in anyway right wing, very happy. Don't be corrupt and this will seal it shut.
