Summary
Support for Germany’s far-right AfD is surging among young men, driven by concerns over immigration, conservative values, and distrust of mainstream politics.
A Pew study found 26% of German men view AfD positively, compared to 11% of women.
Social media, particularly TikTok, has helped spread its message. Some young supporters reject accusations of extremism, while others openly embrace far-right views.
Analysts warn that if mainstream parties ease their opposition to the AfD, it could become Germany’s dominant right-wing party.
I see. It’s women’s fault that the men who control the media can’t teach other men how to be men.
Finally, the conspiracy all comes together.
Men control women doing tiktoks? Even if a shady cabal of men sits at tiktok HQ algorithmically pushing ick content (why?), you need women to produce it in the first place.
Nah, that stuff is produced by women, for a female audience, it’s empathy bait, you can tell by the comments. Young boys then catch it as a stray, “WTF is this what are these standards how can I live up to them”.
Ah, I see. “Women doing tiktoks” control the men who control virtually all of the media which is why they can’t teach other men how to be men.
It all makes sense when you put it that way.
It’s you who’s talking about “all media”. I’m talking about one specific example “ick tiktoks”, stuff I have to deal with in martial arts classes, because freshly-minted teens get confused as fuck about it.
Who are these men that are flooding tiktok with ick content? Making my job harder?
The person I was talking to before you butted in. Literally.
You apparently wished to change the subject without announcing you were doing so.
