Pascal Lottaz speaks with Dr. Jonas Tögel, a German propaganda researcher and author, about war messaging in Germany and Europe, Bundeswehr outreach in schools, youth resistance, NATO narratives, the role of the US and EU, the collapse of antiwar politics, and the way propaganda, fear, and media overload shape public opinion. They also discuss public resistance, self-care, and keeping a peace movement alive.
