Racists be racists. The problem is not imigration. The problem we are facing is out of control and too huge costs of living. The people voting faar right not holding those fascist, racist, conspiratory views, are afraid of their lively hood. Now should we kill the scape goat? No! That wont improve anything. The corperations need to be held accountable! The once causing this insane inhuman cost of living increase! Vonovia with their housings. Yes the state must step in and put restrictions on rent and electricity pricing.
The boomers are afraid of change and not liking the reality of them becoming irrelavent. You wont convince a fascist that deporting all the willing workers will improve anything based on facts and statistic. How will a 1.6 million less in the household expenses of germany do anything? Its a drop on the hot stone.
We need radical systemic change! However, racism, fascism, hate wont solve anything. The faar right gets voters threw just yelling easy solutions, widespread misinfo spread online helped by china, russia and USA and the failing of the old partys because they dont inovate/reform. And young people drift to the extrems because they dont see a future in the current system.
Example AfD. They mean to tell, germany will massively gain from leaving the EU, destroying all worker rights and trade unions, massively lowering the taxes off the rich and by deporting anyone they dont like (as they said in the Potsdam meeting) weather born potato german or having not #FFFFF as skin colour Hex Code.
Alone leaving the EU will create a economic depression seen like never before! In a few years the economy will have decreased by over ⅓ and unemployment rising astronomicly!
Yeah, I doubt leaving the EU would help most of the people supporting it:

I just don't think pointing at information like this convinces anyone in the group that more vocally swung right in the last ten years
I feel a bit guilty leaving some of the negativity here, so I thought I'd leave a more positive video pointing out how some of the baby boomer influencers in politics is beginning to lessen, but it's pretty US focused:
