Disappointment with failing established politics. Decline of social status. State corruption. Policies being run in explciit ignorration of people's will, showing them how meaningless they are to those that lead them.

If reasonability and moderate approaches do not work ands ghet frustrated time and again, people see a grow in their acceptance to turn towards more radical approaches and alternatives.

I see it in myself, too. I am certainly not somebody who would vote for a Nazi party and ligning up with right- or leftwing extremists, but today I am willing to accepot more drastic strategies to certain issues, than I would have thought possible ten and twenty years ago. Because I see the political establishement ruining my country and all Europe since as long as I can remember, and my former good will to try reasonable positions has been ignored and frustrated time and again.

If the mainstream politics don't work, people try something less mainstream. In Germany, we see a rise of the right especially in the former GDR, and in those places that have been disconnected from the improvement of social conditions and economic circumstances (though not exclsuively there). German politicians produce these new rights themselves by having made promises they could not keep and a general failure to push forward certain developement processes (whether this always would have been possible anyway, is something different). Extremists do not just fall down from the sky. They get created by circumstances - or not, they meet a public desire for drastic chnages - or not. It'S in the hands of Germany. As well as it is in the hands of France.

In Germany, as I see it, we fail terribly. We seem to be unfit to erode the basis in situational circumstances that helpsa the right to grow, while we appease and tolerate and whitewash violence being conducted by the left extremists. Some parties and politicians from the Green and the left spectrum even side up with the latter. So why are we surprised by what we get?
