While the Russia-Ukraine war made things worse for Germans, far right has been on the ascend for a while and things weren't even that bad in Germany! Like lots of issues with the German center-right, but they were doing a good job of extracting wealth from the rest of the EU.
The previous nazi surge rode on post WW1 anguish, grief, and poverty. What the fuck is the excuse now?
Anxiety and rage about incipient climate collapse probably, coupled with the universal alienation that they especially have no vocabulary to grapple with
If only there had been some German philosopher they could read to inform them about capitalist alienation. Ah well
ctrl marlson?
