Hmmm, so some kind of job guarantee would really help deradicalize those unemployed AfD supporters?

I dont think so, in Sonneberg unemployment was only 5% and there are also not many refugees. Still they vote for the AfD. It's quite funny because the local companies can't find enough people for their jobs, so they actually would need some foreigners they hate so much

You said that 30% of the unemployed are radicalized rightwards. What do you propose to help deradicalize them? Complaining about them isn't going to do it.

Edit: like, if there are openings in those companies, why are people choosing to stay unemployed and only migrants will take those jobs? Could it be that these are shit paying jobs or jobs with shit conditions? If we accept deradicalization as a desirable goal, we have to be serious about the cost of achieving it. Otherwise we are not holding deradicalization as a goal superior to the profits of local companies, in which case, well, what the fuck do you expect.

Because a lot of them have addiction problems, mental health problems etc ... They are probably unfit for work

That just moves the problem from radicalization to mental health.

Votes for AfD and percentage of foreigners are actually completely opposite to each other.

The regions with the least amount of foreign people are voting them the most...
