Solche Leute gibt es natĂŒrlich auch. Aber ich glaube es lĂ€uft eher auf neoliberale Politik hinaus. Die Politik hat sich zu viel um die Reichen und die Wirtschaft gekĂŒmmert und jetzt sind die Leute wĂŒtend. Leider sind sie halt auch rassistisch und deshalb verfĂ€ngt der billige Populismus - obwohl die AfD noch neoliberaler ist, als die anderen Parteien.

Yeah, the main issue is migration (here in Germany). And I believe propaganda is also a factor. People are bombarded with bad stories about migrants, but also about the government. This includes tabloids and social media of course. But also the conservative opposition. They are always talking about the government as if it was the worst in German history, when in reality it is not so different from their previous one.

Btw. the reasons why people vote for extremists are not smart. They are emotional. AfD voters tend to be less educated and porer.

I think Anders' analysis is correct (as usual). The sad thing is, that I believe not only the US is making this mistake, but also some European leaders. They should really know better and we will have to pay the price for it.

Also right (and left) wing populists are on the rise. And they openly support Russia. We are all fucked.

Putin is not as smart as his propaganda paints him. In fact it's probably the most successful part of his propaganda. Even people who see through most of his propaganda tend to believe that he's always playing 4D chess.

Still, remember that when Putin threatens us, he is telling us what he doesn't like. Threats don't cost him anything. By now we should have learned that his threats are empty, but many people are just too afraid.

Your line of reasoning is very hard to follow. You are alternating between soldiers/civilians and people/individuals. You are arguing against a point I never made. You are not engaging with my concerns. So let me state this again. The video is highly emotional, completely one-sided. Contains no concrete information. And fits perfectly into the Kremlin's propaganda. I wonder if all these Mexicans still hate her after she tells them that she disagrees with Putin and his war.
