Germany’s far right is winning over the young (www.politico.eu)

Online campaigns like these have helped radicalize a broad swath of Germany’s youth, making extreme-right ideas that were once relegated to the margins of German political discourse increasingly mainstream. The Young Alternative, the AfD youth organization that put out the dance video, has been classified by Germany’s domestic intelligence agency as an extremist group since last year.

That still doesn’t make it the root cause. You should probably read up on what a root cause analysis is.

I am well aware what an RCA is. The issue here is that the "root causes" like immigration fear and "the economy" are mostly fabricated or blown up.

The AfD pushes propaganda to young people. And to cite from the RCA I linked you

Younger people in particular can be strongly influenced by manipulation strategies and disinformation. They can develop problematic views of the world and people that run counter to basic democratic values.

You just surfaced 2 more adjecent layers, keep digging. I don’t know why you say you understand RCA when you stop after 2 whys.

The kids are being fed endless lies and you say the liars aren't at fault. Blaming the left instead exactly in the way the liars do. Like a fucking script.

Are you lost? Replied to the wrong comment?

Otherwise please explain where exactly I defended liars or blamed the left.
