what are they even turning fascist for?

The usual reason: "things are bad? It isn't our fault, it's the fault of the marginalized out-group! Destroy them!" capitalist-laugh

While the Russia-Ukraine war made things worse for Germans, far right has been on the ascend for a while and things weren't even that bad in Germany! Like lots of issues with the German center-right, but they were doing a good job of extracting wealth from the rest of the EU.

Anxiety and rage about incipient climate collapse probably, coupled with the universal alienation that they especially have no vocabulary to grapple with

If only there had been some German philosopher they could read to inform them about capitalist alienation. Ah well

I can believe that, particularly the redirected rage where they'd rather punch down on climate refugees than punch up toward the planet burners themselves.

Last time they took it out on mostly white minorities. The excuses don’t even have to be air tight
