Whenever people say that you grow more conservative when you get older, they're working from the premise that you'll grow more affluent and comfortable later in life. For Americans, that just isn't true anymore. Wages are mostly stagnant, home ownership is much less attainable, and cost of living is at an all time high. Yet for some reason, pundits just can't figure out why millenials aren't getting more conservative as they age, or why zoomers appear to be following this trend.
All of that is the same here in Germany. Check out the stats on home ownership here... But oh man are the kids flipping to the AfD (far right nazi party) quick and in huge numbers. It's scary to see.
German government should just ban the AfD and end with it.
The Nazi Party being banned was good, just not enough
You 100% can, fascists are a national threat. Entertaining them via "civility" is nonsense.
Fuck this "goody two-shoes" bullshit, ban and repress.
