It is human to see one's own opinion and that of one's group (party) as the superior one, but as a true democrat one should internalize that every non-extremist movement has its right to exist. A '''mutual understanding''' is important to live in peaceful coexistence. -- Considering its relevance, the aspect of the '''self-correction of democratic systems''' is neglected in school lessons and is quickly forgotten. Before election campaigns, people have to be repeatedly encouraged to vote, but this doesn't bring the actual "why" back to mind. '''Instead''' there is too much focus on '''the advantage of one's own group''', which promotes '''ideological hostilities''' between parties and - which, among '''many other factors''' - leads to '''disenchantment with politics'''. This is how thinking about democracy degenerates: "Democracy is nothing more than [[wp:Mob_rule|mob rule]], where 51% of the people take away the rights of the other 49%." (Many people no longer realize how consumed they are by hate.) | It is human to see one's own opinion and that of one's group (party) as the superior one, but as a true democrat one should internalize that every non-extremist movement has its right to exist.

Political parties and ''currents'' in a nutshell. Strongly based on German examples. | |||
<!--Für was steht eine Partei? Parteiprogramme sind irrelevant. Sie können als Blendwerk dienen. Entscheidend ist, welche Politik die Spitzen fordern. Sind die Forderungen der Basis nicht neu, und werden zumindest toleriert, ist es das, wohin die Partei wirklich strebt.--> | <!--Für was steht eine Partei? Parteiprogramme sind irrelevant.

Also: Sometimes ''(pro-)zionistic'' (pro-Israeli) and ''(pro-)semitistic'' (pro-Jewish) statements can also be used as a protection against accusations of racism according to the motto "you cannot be a racist when you are pro-Israeli".

An unexpected help for those people are the largely uncontrolled therefore polarizing, hate inciting (anti-)social media which algorithms help to propagate their under-complex narratives fitting the shorter becoming attention span of the still easily influenceable youngsters. | ||
The ultraconservatives are only exceeded by the extreme right that extend these views by even more radical versions (''hard'' ethnopluralism), strong anti-scientific, anti-factual narratives and conspiracy theories. | The ultraconservatives are only exceeded by the extreme right that extend these views by even more radical versions (''hard'' ethnopluralism), strong anti-scientific, anti-factual narratives and conspiracy theories. | ||
