    Elections results by age supports what I’ve been feeling for a while now - capitalism reduces our capacity to dream of a better world, to believe we all deserve a better life, takes away hope.

    Once in the job market, people become competitive and enter the debt cycle, slowly losing capacity for empathy.

    Another interesting figure is, how voters have transferred to AFD:

    • 1.8M come from previously non-voters
    • 1M from CDU/CSU (Christian conservatives)
    • 890k from FDP (Liberal capitalistes)

    My 2-cents analysis about this, the right parties have decided to fight on AFD’s turf, focus their campaign on immigration, insecurity, reduce welfare, shifting the whole debate to the extreme right, in an attempt to steal the voters from AFD. But very predictively, this only help to legitimize the extreme right rhetoric et topics and unsurprisingly traditionally right voters ended up voting for extreme right this time.
