Online campaigns like these have helped radicalize a broad swath of Germany’s youth, making extreme-right ideas that were once relegated to the margins of German political discourse increasingly mainstream. The Young Alternative, the AfD youth organization that put out the dance video, has been classified by Germany’s domestic intelligence agency as an extremist group since last year.

We failed educating people.

Germany has a stellar education system. Former East Germany skews very conservative because of overcompensation from the days of the imperialist-with-communist-dressings-DDR. You see the greatest support for the AfD in Thuringia and Saxony.

Liberal governments failed people by assuming that their status quo policies weren't alienating younger generations.

It's being actively failed, it's a tactic to make the lies more effective
