  AfD & Germany's Collapse: Brain Drain and Business Escapes Are Real | Dr. Stephan Ebner 12.09.2026 56мин

  The AfD just won local elections in Germany. Why? Well, not only Ukraine is currently going under, Germany is following, with its economy and social structure in deep dive. This is what explains the rise of the AfD—something the Pro-War Parties in the German establishment try to deny so hard, they rather tarnish AfD voters as "racists" rather than looking into their actual grievances.Dr. Stefan Ebner, an international lawyer working across the US, Germany, and Taiwan, discusses the AfD’s rise in Saxony, Germany’s political and economic decline, immigration, war with Russia, the EU, energy policy, the judiciary, and why professionals and businesses are leaving Germany.The law office of Dr. Stephan Ebner: https://lanaapma.ch/unser-team/Our Links:Neutrality Studies substack: https://pascallottaz.substack.comMerch: https://neutralitystudies.com/shopDonation: https://neutralitystudies.com/donateTimestamps:00:00:00 AfD victory and Germany’s decline00:08:43 AfD as opposition to the political class00:10:33 Verfassungsschutz and German democracy00:12:07 Election outlook and direct democracy00:18:05 Nazi comparisons, war and Ukraine00:23:03 Leaving Germany and brain drain00:27:13 The EU, Brexit and sovereignty00:36:20 War anxiety, arms exports and the SPD00:41:09 Energy policy and Germany’s economic future00:45:32 Immigration, Iran and Israel00:50:14 Rule of law and Germany’s future

  Is the Collective West in disarray because of its absence of long term thinking? Or is it all a charade and the master minds are just really good at hiding what's actually going on? Well, we might be in for an even bumpier ride than we thought, not because the Western leadership is brilliant (they are mostly imbeciles), but the underlying sociological structure is not as short-sighted as one might assume.Nel Bonilla, author of Worldlines, explains her “bunker state” framework and why she sees NATO 3.0 as a shift toward deeper military integration.
