Von „Kanacken, Umvolkungsunterstützern und Zecken“: Social-Media-Verhalten rechter Straftäter in Sachsen 2011–2016

Abstract

During the ‘refugee crisis’ Germany faced a controversial debate about asylum seekers and immigration policy fueled by a diffuse disenchantment with politics, brought to the streets by PEGIDA and represented in parliament by the AfD. This article examines the ideology expressed and the techniques applied by sentenced hate crime offenders in this debate on social media platforms, such as Facebook from 2011 to 2016.
