Wonder if the root causes are the same as in America.
I get where these youth are coming from. Consider how easy today’s young men are to manipulate.
They see a world with more and more people, and more and more of them are foreign. They know their fathers and grandfathers had it easier. Who’s to blame?!
Seems youth all over the first world are more and more isolated, unhappy and according to what I read on lemmy, totally broken in IRL social interactions. Blame COVID, blame social media, blame the internet in general, whatever, sure seems something is making our youth anxious and fearful.
I could go on and on, but watch American History X for a primer on how to exploit fearful young people who feel they have nothing to lose. This is England has got some solid insights as well.
Any Germans want to comment on that? Am I way off base?
