@@LisbonLadd I usually don't comment but this time I feel like I have to. I'm the child of Vietnamese refugees who was born and raised in Germany and I'm also hoping for the AFD to rise further. The current government is heavily backed by the mainstream media who is helping them in demonising the (only) opposition with the age old argument of being radical extremist fascist rightwing nazis. This is especially effective in Germany with its history and the generational guilt which is being used to get the people in line. In my early twenties I felt quite left and I sympathised with leftist ideas but this surely has changed. The arguments brought up by your interviewees are filled with mainstream media framing and talking points and for someone who listened to complete talks by AFD politicians and reading into the party manifesto, it's obvious that they just didn't care to do so. The remigration of legal migrants isn't wanted. One has to differentiate the people coming into one's country. What the AFD wants is to remigrate the illegal ones, the ones who don't have the right to stay, the ones that specifically travelled through multiple safe countries until they explicitly reached their dream destination with the strongest pull factors, i.e. financial support. Of course, also all those, that are unwilling to integrate. A country offers support which, I find, is in general good. My family was very thankful for all the help by the people and all the opportunities we got and we did our very best to integrate, give back and be part of the society. But if the support receivers respond by not caring to learn the language, forcing their traditions onto the population, pushing ideas that don't conform with western values and freedoms which the European ancestors gave their lives for, committing crimes in such high statistically proven numbers, this is an enormous problem. As an asian who grew up in Germany I'm just fed up by those immigrants who only come here for their own gain with bad intent and no care for other people and I know that there are many more immigrants like me, who feel the same way and thus vote for the AFD. Some fled from exactly those people who now come to Germany or to any other 'refugees welcome' kind of countries who wreak havoc in the form of terroristic knife attacks. What usually happens after those violent incidents is the obligatory "demo gegen rechts" (protest against the right). Check images of those protests, you'll almost exclusively find German (white) people there, not the ones that are supposedly targeted by the right. The security and freedom that was achieved in the western world will perish and I'm shocked that so many people in my age and where I live (Berlin) don't recognise this. I considered leaving Germany for Switzerland which has laws in place, partly stricter than what the AFD is demanding, as well as direct democratic votes, which they also demand. I'm also sick of hearing the other parties talk about them being the democratic middle whilst leaning further and further to the left with restrictions, sanctions and trials of market regulation. My parents fled from the visceral hardship of communism, so at least I am very aware of what is happening and how everything is put into place to have maximum control over the population. Hence the argument, that the citizens of eastern Germany are more prone to desiring a authoritative government and because of that voting for AFD is just absolutely stupid. I'm yet hopeful especially knowing that the majority of youngsters at the age of 16 are voting for the AFD and not, as the MSM always portrayed, for the left/green party. Thanks for reading, sorry for typos.
@@LisbonLadd Immigration is great, it is healthy, not just for the gene pool, but also culturally. BUT it needs to be at a level our societies can absorbe, so it doesnt create societies within societies. It also depends where people are from, eg have less immigration from counties which societies are fundamentally different. It just got out of hand and we are walking into a disaster of the first order, not just because of immigration thou. Multiculturalism works in a wealthy country, the same goes for our environment, poor people dont care, why would they. Driving our economies into the ground in combination with an extreme influx of immigration is the receipy for a disaster. Is it so hard to see that?
Great concept if you POS want to dodge the taxes me as a migrant pay on my 95k income in Germany you unthankful nobody. You neither understand economics, nor your brain is wired correctly. Germany would be nowhere without migrants. Take out the migrants and see how the economy collapses. Remigration is also not possible with the Grundgesetz, so good luck trying to push out a guy in his 20s who earns more money then 99% of AfD voters on average. You low lifes 🥱
I am genuinely intrigued by this topic. The German govt is confusing many observers worldwide by being such a supporter of fascism in Israel despite the lack of popular support - only 17% of Germans agree. Right-wing politics in general (but especially Fascism) ignores the cause - economic inequality - of the problems they rail against, blaming instead the poor, weak and outsiders, instead of the rising tide of super-rich living tax-free lives. Opinion polls are as a rule pretty useless but why not at least ask these people what they think of the rise of (socially conservative far Left, I’m told) Sarah Wagenknecht’s party, who are doing almost as well in these recent elections.
Poor and bias approach from rich parents kids who have no real view of their society and environment. The question should have been "are you pro mass immigration or controlled immigration as it was before 2015"? And the problem is European not just German. The biggest problem is for South EU countries,is the enter for muslims and the poorest in EU. Something must chance....we cant go like this for next 10-20years.

Exactly. Kids. That's who they are. No real life experiences yet. They most likely have no children themselves, no career, no proper burnouts, haven't faced any real economic challenges, haven't been in toxic workplaces (where adults work).
Most of them would be to young to know about that unfortunately. I agree though, I think most of them have their heart in the right place they just lack the ability to think critically.
This kids should have gone to Syria and Afghanistan, Pakistan to see how it is there. They should have asked themselvs why - if all ppl are equal - the countries are so different.

Berlin is responsible and is creating the perfect breeding ground for more extreme ideologies to gain ground, yet they have to audacity to blame everyone else.
@@LisbonLadd en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance This is the answer. They don't hate people for having a different "opinion" (opinion is a euphemism for this), they don't accept hate and intolerance, which is sensible if you want to protect an open society. There is also the other side, we need to protect this open society from islamism as well (like the palestine demonstrations with Hamas supporters, this is no better...). We need sensible and moderate policies, no extremism and no hate. That does mean, we need to track immigration and make sure, every immigrant is properly checked and registered, but we also need to give those people a perspective here, otherwise they are bound to become criminals regardless of their origin.

He is most probably not even close to representative for the people in Germany with a Turkish background. The majority of the Turks in Germany is not happy about the "refugees". For the simple reason that they fear that the Germans might not distinguish too much between these and those muslims.
@@HaukeLaging This IS the problem. Since an averrage German cannont differentiat between a legal and illegal migrant there will be a raise of mistrust based on optics... Is this fair? No. But what is the solution? A citizen has to rely on the government that everyone they meet on the street came to Germany legally. Is this the case? No. So why trust ppl you do not know anything about?
RIP Europe, arguably the richest place in culture will soon fall and be victim of multi culturalism. Aka replaced with a mix of Chinese, Indian, Muslim and African cultures ...
First of all, all people are of equal value. But people are by no means equal. That is a neutral fact. And unfortunately it is often ignored by people with naive left-wing positions. In a democracy we should live together as harmoniously as possible. A divided society carries certain risks. In a democracy everyone has the right to express their opinion through their vote and thus shape the country. Therefore, it is helpful when a people are united by common views. This is where the dark side of migration begins. Different cultures differ to different degrees. Therefore, it is also unequal challenging to integrate different cultures in Germany. The differences are particularly great among migrants from Muslim countries (family image, gender roles, religion, role of the government etc.). Therefore, statistically it is way more difficult to integrate such migrants than those from more western like countries. Therefore it is obvious that problems arise, especially due to rapid migration from Muslim countries. We are talking about school classes that consist of over 50% children with a migrant background. Migrant families probably also have more kids. This does not apply to individual cases, but is clearly demonstrable statistically (language skills, crime statistics, etc.). The right to asylum makes sense and is valid/important, but unfortunately it is often abused by economic refugees who throw away their passports and conceal their identity. In addition, organized smuggling structures have formed in Germany. Some illegal migrants receive welfare benefits obtained by fraud, and often work illegally in order to continue receiving welfare benefits from the state. This is how payment cards are sometimes avoided (state bank cards for welfare benefits to prevent cash payments to smugglers). In German cities, foreign quarters have been formed, which make integration even more difficult. As already mentioned, this also makes it difficult to shape the country. If migrants receive citizenship and go to vote, their ideas are different to Western culture and difficult to implement without conflicts in the country. Turks who live in liberal Germany, for example, are allowed to vote in their homeland and there they mainly vote for Erdogan (indicator of the division). It doesn't fit together: they enjoy liberality/welfare in Germany, but vote authoritarian, religiously conservative in their homeland. Of course, this is just an example, but such rapid refugee movements have often led to unrest, independence movements and, as a result, wars in history. Migration that is too rapid endangers stability and social cohesion in Germany. Another problem is remigration to home countries if migrants commit crimes in Germany, which sometimes does happen. Remigration is particularly difficult in Syria and Afghanistan (many reasons). The AfD is strong because the centrist parties have failed to curb migration and address its diverse problems. Women in particular have increasingly moved to the left in the last 10-20 years. People who were in the political center back then are now seen as right-wing, although they have not changed. I'm not talking about AfD voters here. The point is that there is a counter-trend and many people are voting for the AfD out of protest to make it clear to the centrist parties that they should also make political decisions accordingly. Helmut Schmidt (SPD, left center) said at the time that integration is very difficult for Muslims migrants compared to migrants from more western like countries. Unfortunately, such positions are nowadays wrongly perceived as right-wing or even right-wing extremist.
Thanks for your comment, it was an interesting read. I cant speak to the situation in Germany but agree that it seems the AfD is misrepresented in the media. From what i read in their manifesto a lot of their policies are moderate and would actually be considered centre left just a decade ago
Dont get me wrong, Afd is far right. The thing is that other center parties moved to the left side and people vote for AfD as protest. The CDU (center/right) under Merkel allowed mass immigration in 2015 i believe. Regardless AfD is extremely right, they have questionable members as well as normal people in their ranks. Also they have questionable views on climate change or just deny it all together, same for vaccination and especially views regarding russia/putin and the war in Ukraine and other global interest of Germany. There are a lot of things wrong about the AfD but still they have valid points regarding migration (although they are sometimes extreme)
The AfD is for sure extreme. But other parties just moved more and more to the left and failed the voters, so we have protest voters. They are also a populist party offering simply solutions for complex problems. Also questionable views on climate change, russia, energy sector and ukraine.
@@maurice6908 I would consider all those views moderate lol I’m not for the war in Ukraine or any war for that matter, climate change can be solved by planting trees (not bending over for china) and fossil fuels are necessary for any societty to thrive, at least until a better option like nuclear is more prolific. But that’s just one man’s opinion the most important thing to me is free speech and the ability for people to disagree respectfully and everyone to have their own views
How smart do these people think they are? Comparing the AfD to the Third Reich means that you have to imagine the worst the Third Reich would have done is to force everyone they did not like to leave the country... How certain PEOPLE in the AfD would have acted 90 years ago is a completely different question. The important point is: No matter how bad even a party member majority may be, it is just impossible that "those events" will ever be repeated in western and central Europe.
Thanks for your comment. I recommend @WhatifAltHist video on Weimar Germany. To say it couldn't happen again, sadly I would disagree. Extreme Liberalism often results in a swing to the extreme right, as happened after the Weimar Republic. While I agree the AfD is not that at all, if the situation continues and the left becomes more extreme or fails to address the problems in Germany, we might see a more insidious party rising which would be capable of extreme violence. Lets hope that does not occur.
The question is who this young kids would act under the contitions of the third reich... It is easy to judge the past, but what would they do in the same situation? They have no clue how it is to live in a very restricted world of dictatorship and ideology.
May i ask why? I mean did you see what they want to do in edutcation. Everything they preach for as a good method, has been proven of its bad consequences by science. They even ridicule human made climate change as not being a real thing, even when theres clearly a scienfifique consensus. (If youre not educated enough, because i suppose so, given that you vote for the AfD, who are clerly run not by nazis, but by idiots, anti-science guys bruh. There may be neonazis in the party, but idgaf about them. Moreover concerns me their anti-semitism, racism, therye clear shift in the erinnerungskultur, höcke even said that he wanted to highlight the good parts about the Third Reich, and put less focus on the bad stuff the nazis did. Does this sound to you good? If yes, are you serious? If yes, then my friend, youd be the one whod vote for the nazi regime, given youd be born in that period. It is exactly this type of people whod fall for hitler. Anyways. You could also look into the family politics, which may get as bad as you can imagine.
exactly WHY EVEN ASK HIM the same question as the germans. ask the arab/turk different and more challenging questions his position is obviously biased, thus explore it
Says who? What exactly is a German? It’s a cultural nation, also if you Nazi fans from completely different countries state otherwise. And that’s even constitutionally given.
The problem is that you should not expect that people from other cultures will integrate without friction. But there is wrong notion that everybody is the same. So any person in Germany will bloom, regardless of their background. Well, we see that it is not how it works. You should actively integrate people and obviously you will have limited capacity on integration throughput. Actual anger on immigration is consequence of government failure to organize it properly. The longer everybody resist this idea, the more dumb become the reaction, till actual racism and violent actions.
Not to mention that muslim when accepted into a society in large numbers will never be able to integrate as that would mean for them to go against their religion.
Thanks for your comment. To say that its a failure of the state would be kind - given that we are seeing the same issues across western countries it seems to the result of deliberate policy choices. The 'far left' is in many ways a death cult seeking its own destruction. I recommend checking out @WhatifAltHist video on Weimar Germany and its similarities to whats happening today. Sadly we all know what happened after Weimar. Lets pray things do not go that far again
You should not expect to be able to integrate people who despise your culture. And that is true for many, probably the majority of those who come to Europe. They are not coming because they have recognized their home area as the disaster it is in every way and consider European values and societies as superior. They really do not intend to become good Europeans. They just come for the money.
Muslims dont want to integrate, they want to take over. In Hamburg a 15 year old child by 10 Muslims. They laughed about her suffering before the courts. Even countrys who have done everything to integrate Muslims face the exact same resulsts with Muslims as counrtys who didnt. It literally does not matter if you try to integrate them
I am a legal immigrant in Germany, and I just want to say that the AfD has won my heart. They look out for their country and their people. Unfortunately, people are scared of them because the media portrays them as Nazis and so on, which, in my opinion, is not true. Being conservative doesn’t mean you’re a Nazi or far-right. I’m sick of seeing stabbings, fights, and filth on the streets. Every day something happens in my city, and it’s a small city. Just last week, there was a stabbing behind the school I used to attend. I want to be able to go outside without being scared of getting stabbed or beaten up just for going on a walk.
You are right. Defending illegals leads nowhere. There is a reason, why this kind of immigration is made illegal. AfD is asking what is going to be in ten years. Uneducated mother of three with no german speaking skills - should Germans feed her for the next 50 years because she cannot work anywhere due to lack of qualificatons? How should this woman live, what should she do for her living, how should she contribute to Germany?

This video is horrendously formatted, and completely obfusactes the positions of the far right. There's also way, way too many cuts in the video to be taken seriously. It's either a bad editing practice, or straight up malicious propaganda.
Thanks for your comment but I suggest you actually watch the video before making assumptions. If you had seen the disclaimer, aside and conclusion you would have known the opinions are not my own, are one sided due to the demographics of interviewees and that I personally found no evidence of “far right” in the afd manifesto.
@@LisbonLadd the fact alone that you’re presenting the opinions of the people interviewed in this video as ‘one-sided’ really does expose *your priors*. This reply is exactly what I mean when I say obfuscating the actual policy to play semantic games with ideological labels. Politicians in the AfD have said that the memorialization and substantial focus on Germany’s role in WW2 in education is victimizing modern Germans with a sense of ‘shame’ or have been ‘bullied’ for the way the country has dealt with it’s past. One AfD politician called the National Holocaust Memorial in Berlin, quote: “Germans are the only people in the world who plant a monument of shame in the heart of the capital” and that “laughable policy of coming to terms with the past”. In 2016, the party leader said she wanted to reclaim the concept of ‘völkisch’ from its Nazi roots. In 2017, ten AfD members of the Bundestag, count them; TEN, were found to have been active in a virulently antisemitic Facebook group calling themselves “the patriots” while sharing racist memes and making fun of Anne Frank. The AfD opposes Equal Marriage for gay and lesbian couples in favor of civil partnerships, ostensibly to protect “family values”. The party even filed a lawsuit in 2017 seeking to overturn same-sex marriage laws in Germany. The AfD genuinely disputes man made influence on Climate Change, and stipulates that our current climate is the result of “neutral factors”. And they subsequently oppose all funding and initiatives for Green Energy. In 2023, the online publication ‘The Insider’ published an investigation detailing how members of the AfD received money from the Russian government after filing a constitutional challenge over the country supplying weapons to Ukraine. AfD, in their manifesto, also refers to the war in the Donbas region of Ukraine as an “internal conflict”. And ALL OF THAT, is before we even arrive at the immigration dogma.
@@LisbonLadd The fact, alone, that you are trying to present the views represented in this video as ‘one-sided’ really reveals your priors. Before I dive into substance, I still want to know why there’s so many cuts in the middle of people’s responses. That, and there’s multiple instances that are entirely omitting the context of the question. These are either editorial oversights or intentional narrative crafting. The AfD has a history of downplaying and making light of Germanys role in WW2. One elected AfD member, Björn Höcke, said: “Germans are the only people in the world who plant a monument of shame in the heart of the capital” and that Germany has a “laughable policy of coming to terms with the past”. Directly criticizing the national Holocaust Memorial in Berlin. The former leader of the party advocated for reclaiming the concept of ‘völkish’ from its Nazi roots. In 2017, ten (count them, 10) AfD members of the Bundestag, were found to be in a private Facebook group called “the Patriots” wherein members were sharing antisemitic memes, explicitly pro-Nazi messages, and ‘jokes’ about Anne Frank’s fate. After these revelations, Bundestag member Stephan Protschka remained in the group and defended himself saying: “I am a member of this group because I also see myself as a patriot”. This kind of minimization History, and the regular appeals to the kind of “fatherland” and “national pride” rhetoric that the AfD engages in is toxic in German politics, for good reason. A Forsa Institute poll in 2019 found that while only 2% of all Germans agreed, 15% of AfD members agreed with the statement “the Holocaust is propaganda of the Allied Powers”. The AfD disagrees that man made emissions are causing Climate Change. In its manifesto it describes our current climate is entirely, *entirely* a result of “neutral factors”. It should come as no surprise then that they subsequently oppose transitional energy plans, and explicitly calls for the repeal of the German Renewable Energy Act. The AfD opposes subsidies for biofuels, and wants to end the “uncontrolled expansion of wind energy”. But I guess they support nuclear; so at least there’s that. In its manifesto, the AfD supports overturning marriage equality for gay and lesbian couples, in favor of civil partnerships. This kind of ‘separate but equal’ approach is a hallmark of discrimination. And it’s no coincidence that a far-right party would oppose equal protections for gay and lesbian couples under the auspices of “family values”. The AfD opposed the constitutionality of providing military support to Ukraine. In 2019, the leader of the party, Alexander Gauland, called the war in Donbas, an “internal conflict”. There are even openly pro-Russia factions within the AfD that oppose sanctions imposed on Russia after their invasion of Ukraine and have flirted with conspiracies about Americas supposed involvement in the sabotage of the Nordstream 2 pipeline. An online publication, ‘The Insider’ published an investigative report on how Russian money was funneled to AfD politicians after the party filed challenges in court to Germany’s support for Ukraine. They also oppose Abortion in most circumstances, the party says there should only be a category for what they call “absolute exceptions” for rape and the life of the mother. This kind of policy that seeks to directly control the very bodies of women exists in tandem with AfD’s anti-feminist agenda. Their candidates have repeatedly campaigned on a message of “traditional gender roles” for women at home and in the workplace. All of that, before we even begin discussing their dogma around immigration.

Great concept if you POS want to dodge the taxes me as a migrant pay on my 95k income in Germany you unthankful nobody. You neither understand economics, nor your brain is wired correctly. Germany would be nowhere without migrants. Take out the migrants and see how the economy collapses. Remigration is also not possible with the Grundgesetz, so good luck trying to push out a guy in his 20s who earns more money then 99% of AfD voters on average. You low lifes 🥱
I am genuinely intrigued by this topic. The German govt is confusing many observers worldwide by being such a supporter of fascism in Israel despite the lack of popular support - only 17% of Germans agree. Right-wing politics in general (but especially Fascism) ignores the cause - economic inequality - of the problems they rail against, blaming instead the poor, weak and outsiders, instead of the rising tide of super-rich living tax-free lives. Opinion polls are as a rule pretty useless but why not at least ask these people what they think of the rise of (socially conservative far Left, I’m told) Sarah Wagenknecht’s party, who are doing almost as well in these recent elections.
Poor and bias approach from rich parents kids who have no real view of their society and environment.
The question should have been "are you pro mass immigration or controlled immigration as it was before 2015"?
And the problem is European not just German.
The biggest problem is for South EU countries,is the enter for muslims and the poorest in EU.
Something must chance....we cant go like this for next 10-20years.

Exactly. Kids. That's who they are. No real life experiences yet. They most likely have no children themselves, no career, no proper burnouts, haven't faced any real economic challenges, haven't been in toxic workplaces (where adults work).
Most of them would be to young to know about that unfortunately. I agree though, I think most of them have their heart in the right place they just lack the ability to think critically.
This kids should have gone to Syria and Afghanistan, Pakistan to see how it is there. They should have asked themselvs why - if all ppl are equal - the countries are so different. If afghans are like germans, why ppl do not what to live in Afghanistan, where the Afghans are exactly the same as Germans?

@@LisbonLadd
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance
This is the answer.
They don't hate people for having a different "opinion" (opinion is a euphemism for this), they don't accept hate and intolerance, which is sensible if you want to protect an open society.
There is also the other side, we need to protect this open society from islamism as well (like the palestine demonstrations with Hamas supporters, this is no better...).
We need sensible and moderate policies, no extremism and no hate. That does mean, we need to track immigration and make sure, every immigrant is properly checked and registered, but we also need to give those people a perspective here, otherwise they are bound to become criminals regardless of their origin.
Interesting read thanks

I think that many of your interlocutors do not say what they think because political correctness prevails in Western countries.
Tbh the people that I spoke to seemed to genuinely believe what they said but couldn't articulate why or any of the policies on the afd for that matter. The fact they didnt see a problem in that suggests that they never thought to question their beliefs or what they were based on.

He is most probably not even close to representative for the people in Germany with a Turkish background. The majority of the Turks in Germany is not happy about the "refugees". For the simple reason that they fear that the Germans might not distinguish too much between these and those muslims.

We don't need multi-culture. We need a mono-culture that is respectful. Europe already has it's own culture.
Next video you should give a summary and explanation of the question you are asking. Not everybody lives in Germany and knows what’s happening
Thanks for the feedback il keep that in mind
First of all, all people are of equal value. But people are by no means equal. That is a neutral fact. And unfortunately it is often ignored by people with naive left-wing positions.
In a democracy we should live together as harmoniously as possible. A divided society carries certain risks. In a democracy everyone has the right to express their opinion through their vote and thus shape the country. Therefore, it is helpful when a people are united by common views.
This is where the dark side of migration begins. Different cultures differ to different degrees. Therefore, it is also unequal challenging to integrate different cultures in Germany. The differences are particularly great among migrants from Muslim countries (family image, gender roles, religion, role of the government etc.). Therefore, statistically it is way more difficult to integrate such migrants than those from more western like countries. Therefore it is obvious that problems arise, especially due to rapid migration from Muslim countries. We are talking about school classes that consist of over 50% children with a migrant background. Migrant families probably also have more kids. This does not apply to individual cases, but is clearly demonstrable statistically (language skills, crime statistics, etc.).
The right to asylum makes sense and is valid/important, but unfortunately it is often abused by economic refugees who throw away their passports and conceal their identity. In addition, organized smuggling structures have formed in Germany. Some illegal migrants receive welfare benefits obtained by fraud, and often work illegally in order to continue receiving welfare benefits from the state. This is how payment cards are sometimes avoided (state bank cards for welfare benefits to prevent cash payments to smugglers).
In German cities, foreign quarters have been formed, which make integration even more difficult. As already mentioned, this also makes it difficult to shape the country. If migrants receive citizenship and go to vote, their ideas are different to Western culture and difficult to implement without conflicts in the country. Turks who live in liberal Germany, for example, are allowed to vote in their homeland and there they mainly vote for Erdogan (indicator of the division). It doesn't fit together: they enjoy liberality/welfare in Germany, but vote authoritarian, religiously conservative in their homeland.
Of course, this is just an example, but such rapid refugee movements have often led to unrest, independence movements and, as a result, wars in history.
Migration that is too rapid endangers stability and social cohesion in Germany.
Another problem is remigration to home countries if migrants commit crimes in Germany, which sometimes does happen. Remigration is particularly difficult in Syria and Afghanistan (many reasons).
The AfD is strong because the centrist parties have failed to curb migration and address its diverse problems.
Women in particular have increasingly moved to the left in the last 10-20 years. People who were in the political center back then are now seen as right-wing, although they have not changed. I'm not talking about AfD voters here. The point is that there is a counter-trend and many people are voting for the AfD out of protest to make it clear to the centrist parties that they should also make political decisions accordingly. Helmut Schmidt (SPD, left center) said at the time that integration is very difficult for Muslims migrants compared to migrants from more western like countries. Unfortunately, such positions are nowadays wrongly perceived as right-wing or even right-wing extremist.
Thanks for your comment, it was an interesting read. I cant speak to the situation in Germany but agree that it seems the AfD is misrepresented in the media. From what i read in their manifesto a lot of their policies are moderate and would actually be considered centre left just a decade ago
Dont get me wrong, Afd is far right. The thing is that other center parties moved to the left side and people vote for AfD as protest. The CDU (center/right) under Merkel allowed mass immigration in 2015 i believe. Regardless AfD is extremely right, they have questionable members as well as normal people in their ranks. Also they have questionable views on climate change or just deny it all together, same for vaccination and especially views regarding russia/putin and the war in Ukraine and other global interest of Germany. There are a lot of things wrong about the AfD but still they have valid points regarding migration (although they are sometimes extreme)
In short, the AfD is a populist party that offers simple solutions to complex problems. As we know, this doesn't always work.
The AfD is for sure extreme. But other parties just moved more and more to the left and failed the voters, so we have protest voters. They are also a populist party offering simply solutions for complex problems. Also questionable views on climate change, russia, energy sector and ukraine.
@@maurice6908 I would consider all those views moderate lol I’m not for the war in Ukraine or any war for that matter, climate change can be solved by planting trees (not bending over for china) and fossil fuels are necessary for any societty to thrive, at least until a better option like nuclear is more prolific. But that’s just one man’s opinion the most important thing to me is free speech and the ability for people to disagree respectfully and everyone to have their own views
How smart do these people think they are? Comparing the AfD to the Third Reich means that you have to imagine the worst the Third Reich would have done is to force everyone they did not like to leave the country...
How certain PEOPLE in the AfD would have acted 90 years ago is a completely different question. The important point is: No matter how bad even a party member majority may be, it is just impossible that "those events" will ever be repeated in western and central Europe.
Thanks for your comment. I recommend @WhatifAltHist video on Weimar Germany. To say it couldn't happen again, sadly I would disagree. Extreme Liberalism often results in a swing to the extreme right, as happened after the Weimar Republic. While I agree the AfD is not that at all, if the situation continues and the left becomes more extreme or fails to address the problems in Germany, we might see a more insidious party rising which would be capable of extreme violence. Lets hope that does not occur.
The question is who this young kids would act under the contitions of the third reich... It is easy to judge the past, but what would they do in the same situation? They have no clue how it is to live in a very restricted world of dictatorship and ideology.
I'm a immigrant in Germany and I will vote AFD. This Kids are ridiculous.

May i ask why? I mean did you see what they want to do in edutcation. Everything they preach for as a good method, has been proven of its bad consequences by science.

do you mean because hes not aryan enough for you nazis?
The problem is that you should not expect that people from other cultures will integrate without friction. But there is wrong notion that everybody is the same. So any person in Germany will bloom, regardless of their background. Well, we see that it is not how it works. You should actively integrate people and obviously you will have limited capacity on integration throughput. Actual anger on immigration is consequence of government failure to organize it properly. The longer everybody resist this idea, the more dumb become the reaction, till actual racism and violent actions.
Not to mention that muslim when accepted into a society in large numbers will never be able to integrate as that would mean for them to go against their religion.
Thanks for your comment. To say that its a failure of the state would be kind - given that we are seeing the same issues across western countries it seems to the result of deliberate policy choices. The 'far left' is in many ways a death cult seeking its own destruction. I recommend checking out @WhatifAltHist video on Weimar Germany and its similarities to whats happening today. Sadly we all know what happened after Weimar. Lets pray things do not go that far again
You should not expect to be able to integrate people who despise your culture. And that is true for many, probably the majority of those who come to Europe. They are not coming because they have recognized their home area as the disaster it is in every way and consider European values and societies as superior. They really do not intend to become good Europeans. They just come for the money.
Muslims dont want to integrate, they want to take over. In Hamburg a 15 year old child by 10 Muslims. They laughed about her suffering before the courts. Even countrys who have done everything to integrate Muslims face the exact same resulsts with Muslims as counrtys who didnt. It literally does not matter if you try to integrate them
Yikes, questions asked alone are already misleading and dishonest.
elaborate?
I am a legal immigrant in Germany, and I just want to say that the AfD has won my heart. They look out for their country and their people. Unfortunately, people are scared of them because the media portrays them as Nazis and so on, which, in my opinion, is not true. Being conservative doesn’t mean you’re a Nazi or far-right. I’m sick of seeing stabbings, fights, and filth on the streets. Every day something happens in my city, and it’s a small city. Just last week, there was a stabbing behind the school I used to attend. I want to be able to go outside without being scared of getting stabbed or beaten up just for going on a walk.
You are right. Defending illegals leads nowhere. There is a reason, why this kind of immigration is made illegal. AfD is asking what is going to be in ten years. Uneducated mother of three with no german speaking skills - should Germans feed her for the next 50 years because she cannot work anywhere due to lack of qualificatons? How should this woman live, what should she do for her living, how should she contribute to Germany?

This video is horrendously formatted, and completely obfusactes the positions of the far right. There's also way, way too many cuts in the video to be taken seriously. It's either a bad editing practice, or straight up malicious propaganda.
Thanks for your comment but I suggest you actually watch the video before making assumptions. If you had seen the disclaimer, aside and conclusion you would have known the opinions are not my own, are one sided due to the demographics of interviewees and that I personally found no evidence of “far right” in the afd manifesto.
@@LisbonLadd the fact alone that you’re presenting the opinions of the people interviewed in this video as ‘one-sided’ really does expose *your priors*.
This reply is exactly what I mean when I say obfuscating the actual policy to play semantic games with ideological labels.
Politicians in the AfD have said that the memorialization and substantial focus on Germany’s role in WW2 in education is victimizing modern Germans with a sense of ‘shame’ or have been ‘bullied’ for the way the country has dealt with it’s past. One AfD politician called the National Holocaust Memorial in Berlin, quote: “Germans are the only people in the world who plant a monument of shame in the heart of the capital” and that “laughable policy of coming to terms with the past”. In 2016, the party leader said she wanted to reclaim the concept of ‘völkisch’ from its Nazi roots. In 2017, ten AfD members of the Bundestag, count them; TEN, were found to have been active in a virulently antisemitic Facebook group calling themselves “the patriots” while sharing racist memes and making fun of Anne Frank.
The AfD opposes Equal Marriage for gay and lesbian couples in favor of civil partnerships, ostensibly to protect “family values”. The party even filed a lawsuit in 2017 seeking to overturn same-sex marriage laws in Germany.
The AfD genuinely disputes man made influence on Climate Change, and stipulates that our current climate is the result of “neutral factors”. And they subsequently oppose all funding and initiatives for Green Energy.
In 2023, the online publication ‘The Insider’ published an investigation detailing how members of the AfD received money from the Russian government after filing a constitutional challenge over the country supplying weapons to Ukraine. AfD, in their manifesto, also refers to the war in the Donbas region of Ukraine as an “internal conflict”.
And ALL OF THAT, is before we even arrive at the immigration dogma.
@@LisbonLadd The fact, alone, that you are trying to present the views represented in this video as ‘one-sided’ really reveals your priors.
Before I dive into substance, I still want to know why there’s so many cuts in the middle of people’s responses. That, and there’s multiple instances that are entirely omitting the context of the question. These are either editorial oversights or intentional narrative crafting.
The AfD has a history of downplaying and making light of Germanys role in WW2. One elected AfD member, Björn Höcke, said: “Germans are the only people in the world who plant a monument of shame in the heart of the capital” and that Germany has a “laughable policy of coming to terms with the past”. Directly criticizing the national Holocaust Memorial in Berlin. The former leader of the party advocated for reclaiming the concept of ‘völkish’ from its Nazi roots. In 2017, ten (count them, 10) AfD members of the Bundestag, were found to be in a private Facebook group called “the Patriots” wherein members were sharing antisemitic memes, explicitly pro-Nazi messages, and ‘jokes’ about Anne Frank’s fate. After these revelations, Bundestag member Stephan Protschka remained in the group and defended himself saying: “I am a member of this group because I also see myself as a patriot”. This kind of minimization History, and the regular appeals to the kind of “fatherland” and “national pride” rhetoric that the AfD engages in is toxic in German politics, for good reason. A Forsa Institute poll in 2019 found that while only 2% of all Germans agreed, 15% of AfD members agreed with the statement “the Holocaust is propaganda of the Allied Powers”.
The AfD disagrees that man made emissions are causing Climate Change. In its manifesto it describes our current climate is entirely, *entirely* a result of “neutral factors”. It should come as no surprise then that they subsequently oppose transitional energy plans, and explicitly calls for the repeal of the German Renewable Energy Act. The AfD opposes subsidies for biofuels, and wants to end the “uncontrolled expansion of wind energy”. But I guess they support nuclear; so at least there’s that.
In its manifesto, the AfD supports overturning marriage equality for gay and lesbian couples, in favor of civil partnerships. This kind of ‘separate but equal’ approach is a hallmark of discrimination. And it’s no coincidence that a far-right party would oppose equal protections for gay and lesbian couples under the auspices of “family values”.
The AfD opposed the constitutionality of providing military support to Ukraine. In 2019, the leader of the party, Alexander Gauland, called the war in Donbas, an “internal conflict”. There are even openly pro-Russia factions within the AfD that oppose sanctions imposed on Russia after their invasion of Ukraine and have flirted with conspiracies about Americas supposed involvement in the sabotage of the Nordstream 2 pipeline. An online publication, ‘The Insider’ published an investigative report on how Russian money was funneled to AfD politicians after the party filed challenges in court to Germany’s support for Ukraine.
They also oppose Abortion in most circumstances, the party says there should only be a category for what they call “absolute exceptions” for rape and the life of the mother. This kind of policy that seeks to directly control the very bodies of women exists in tandem with AfD’s anti-feminist agenda. Their candidates have repeatedly campaigned on a message of “traditional gender roles” for women at home and in the workplace.
All of that, before we even begin discussing their dogma around immigration.
