Delegitimation of state institutions by amplifying a perceived “loss of control” over public safety

What it claims

German courts, police, and media are portrayed as either incapable of or unwilling to protect citizens from violence and radicalism. The campaign exploits real incidents and crime statistics to frame state authorities as corrupt or ideologically biased entities that ignore the interests of ordinary people.

Target audience

Examples (paraphrased)

We paraphrase rather than quote: propaganda's exact wording is built to spread, so we carry the claim and not the craft. Each example cites the post it came from.

  • German justice issues overly lenient sentences for killings, ignoring the victims' families' demands for justice.

  • State media cover up left-wing radical violence against opposition journalists and refuse to admit their bias.

Goal

To erode trust in Germany's law enforcement and judicial systems, intensifying social polarisation and the sense of insecurity.

Techniques used

  • Appeal to Fear / PrejudiceUsing statistics on railway assaults and descriptions of “hell” for journalists from left-wing radicals to create an atmosphere of chaos.
  • DoubtPresenting court sentences as too lenient and the actions of public broadcasters as attempts to “wriggle out” of responsibility.

The real grievance it exploits

The campaign exploits genuine German concerns over rising violence in public transport, fear of political extremism, and distrust of “system media.”

How to counter

  • Technique exposure: Notice how isolated criminal cases and controversial local government decisions are generalised to create a picture of a “failing state.” This is a classic method of eroding trust in democratic institutions.
