Why People Gravitate to Scapegoating Solutions

Jason Myles and guests from 99 Zu Einz unpack the rising influence of the far right in Germany, focusing on the AfD, the role of migration debates, neoliberal roots, and the party’s appeal to young men.

The episode traces historical context from PEGIDA and 2015 refugee policy to internal AfD dynamics, examines gender and generational divides, and discusses what this moment reveals about the failures and possibilities of the contemporary left.
