thank you for clarifying. Is it fair to say that it is a faux pas to be hyperbolic around charged issues in public?

  > Is it fair to say that it is a faux pas to be hyperbolic around charged issues in public? I wouldn't call it faux pas per se. Just that you can't be expected to be taken seriously if you are.

    Perhaps the confusion is about what 'taken seriously' means in the two cultures. Let me put it this way: would being a known member of the AFD affect one's job search irrespective of one's reasons for being a member?

      German national, but still take it just my personal opinion. I would say maybe, of course not officially. Depends on your public profile, if you tending towards the extremes it would have a greater impact. Same would go for being on the extreme left, so. It also depends on the company you apply to. Just being a known, but bot very outspoken member, wouldn't have too much of an impact.
