Demonstrations against the rightEducating people about right-wing extremism

Right-wing extremist and anti-democratic movements appear in many different forms. For example, as a party like the AfD. Or as right-wing autonomous groups that coordinate and stage themselves on the internet and spread disinformation. Often cleverly disguised and in an emphatically youthful manner, they spread their inhumane world view via social media services such as TikTok or X. They network via Telegram and thus operate in the digital space against our free and democratic basic order. The attacks on minorities and the AfD's worryingly high poll ratings show that the hatred stirred up in the digital sphere is being transferred to the streets and catching on. Research by Correctiv.org recently revealed how German right-wing extremists network in secret to plan anti-human actions.

Young people today come into contact with right-wing extremist content primarily on social media services. A recent viral video on TikTok, for example, shows a group of people chanting the slogan "Germany to the Germans, foreigners out!" at a public festival. However, content from the AfD and other right-wing extremists is also suggested to users of social media platforms and thus also reaches many young people.
