Is this not a symptom of the wealth inequality between east and west Germany?
Partly.
But also Meta, X and Tiktok are allowed tp push anti-democrartic propaganda 24/7 to a majority of the population and the owner class is highly interested in freeing itself from those annoying democratic rules and regulations.
We need to regain sovreignty over our data so they can’t use it against us
That plays into it, but the general inequality, too. I grew up in west Germany and it’s the same there. Where a sense of ‘the system isn’t working’ and ‘helplessness’ are spreading. What’s the point in voting when all they care about is their own career and ego. No problem is alone responsible and the AfD is the result of many failings and short comings over years.
Sounds very similar to the UK. K shaped economies.
