This is what everyone is talking about. The amount of wins of the AfD in East Germany. 40% wins. People pointing fingers to the east.

But…

Look at who got 2nd place in Germany. I know that the situation in the east is more dangerous for people on the ground there...but this is a nation wide problem.

We need to act.

@bitboxer Act how?

@below

Step 1: don't loose hope
Step 2: find a group of people who think like you
Step 3: figure out what you as a group want to do.

Local antifascist groups, NGOs, political parties…there are a lot of folks who need more support.

"Bildet banden!”

@bitboxer Been there. Done that. AfD 20%. Hard to not lose hope
@below I know 😔. But being with like minded people and having fun with them can help.
@bitboxer It helps keep my sanity for sure
@bitboxer @below my village has 41% AFD voters. CDU with 24% second place. 9% bsw third place. People where I was certain they against AFD, like migrant-german couples we friends with, are voting AFD. No one in my village is benefitting from tax relief of the rich or refugee topics (no refugee home here). People have been manipulated to vote against their interest and I feel like I am the odd one out who doesn't get it...
@MBEverding @bitboxer Why are they doing this? Do you have an idea?

@below @bitboxer "the economy will be better with them"
"green energy is expensive"
"we have less democracy now than we had back then. The logical government would be CDU AFD"
"if you do a crime in Turkey they would also send you out"
"they not after migrants like your family but only criminal migrants"
"we need order again in this country"

Most of these statements my mind just freezes because I am like "how?!" I don't even understand how they got to that conclusion, so how can I convince?

@bitboxer thanks! I expected the results in the east, but it was shocking to see the AfD being 2nd in the south and parts of the west.
@bitboxer Den ersten, wichtigsten Schritt, würden leider die Medien (looking at Strobl) nicht tun - wie in Wallonien, die Rechten Parteien mit ignoranz bestrafen (also einfach nicht über sie und ihre Politiker berichten, außer es geht um ein Verbrechen)(Da sieht man die Spaltung in Belgien - Wallonien ist Links bis Liberal im Parlament, während in Flandern eine Rechtsnationalistische Partei regiert, über die stetig gesprochen wird.) (Sorry for German - my heart typed faster than my brain)
@bitboxer Just count the number of russian immigrants there, and you have your answer. If you need more, just calculate corelations, countrywide, between a given AfD percentage in a single zone, and the amount of russian immigrants.

Yes, Germany has a problem with immigration. From Russia.
@amigaunicorn proof it. Otherwise I call this bullshit.
@bitboxer

numbers of russian immigrants per area are public.

You may find them here:

https://www.destatis.de/DE/Themen/Gesellschaft-Umwelt/Bevoelkerung/Wanderungen/_inhalt.html#sprg475638

and the results are here:

https://bundeswahlleiterin.de/en/bundestagswahlen/2025/ergebnisse/bund-99.html

just fill an excel and calculate corelation, or ask an AI to do it for you

Last but not least, since you have NO authority whatsoever in any field, you CANNOT call out bullshit. At all.
Wanderungen

Daten aus der Wanderungsstatistik zur Zuwanderung nach Deutschland, zur Abwanderung aus Deutschland sowie zum Wanderungssaldo (Nettozuwanderung).

@amigaunicorn No. I can call eveything bullshit till you proof it. I don’t have to disprove every idea someone comes up with. If I would do that, I could not discuss anything with anybody. If you bring up an argument, you need to show the actual proof. Otherwise fake facts folks win by just flodding the discussion with their lies. I will not do any work to dig into those links. You need to do that work. It’s your argument. Do your homework please.
@bitboxer you call nothing, since you have no authority or achademic background to show that superiority.

Just do your numbers, it takes 10 minutes. If you don't know how to calculate a simple corelation, you may ask me a favour, which I normally do with people who is NOT speaking like a russian mobster.

But, since this is not the case, Ivan, you can go fuck yourself, and study some math, or maybe just how to use excel. I do not plan to fix all the mathematic incompetence of the planet, just because people skips their math classes. And then they call themselves programmers.

By the way, the answer is 0.86.
@amigaunicorn @bitboxer lo scorso settembre sono stato venti giorni in Germania girandola,mi ha impressionato il numero di russi in giro,per turismo penso non possano venire, quindi?
Due cose, sono abituato a vedere russi in Lituania e capisco abbastanza la lingua
Questa mia opinione non ha alcuna scientificità ed è solo una osservazione empirica
@cerchioseminuovo @bitboxer sono tutti personaggi che hanno la cittadinanza tedesca in quanto sostengono di essere discendenti dai rottami di qualche evento storico-etnico del passato.
@amigaunicorn @bitboxer a me fanno pensare a quella serie televisiva Deutschland 82
@amigaunicorn @bitboxer nella DDR vi erano diverse isole etniche slave che sono state ovviamente protette,mi ricordo al volo Potsdam dove vi è una comunità con radici serbe e Bautzan dove invece credo ceca
@cerchioseminuovo @bitboxer sappiamo bene dove porta la logica delle riserve indiane...
