67% of Germans consider relations to be bad; 77% believe society is less cohesive; 80% see more insults; Germany is divided into groups unable to understand each other; big topics turn into 'us' vs 'them' debates.

Infact verdict: Mixed (47/100).

The claims regarding social cohesion in Germany highlight significant social concerns. However, evidence is mixed and lacks direct studies that corroborate all specific percentages. The claim about societal division has some support, though specific statistics on cohesion are not well substantiated. The opinion piece on 'us vs them' dynamics cannot be factually scored but reflects prevalent sentiments. Reviewed claims: 1. "67% of Germans consider relations between people to be bad or very bad." No specific survey was found directly supporting this data. Various polls focus on trust and political relations rather than general interpersonal relations. 2. "77% of respondents believe that society has become less cohesive over the past three years." Evidence from studies like Bertelsmann Stiftung suggests concerns with cohesion related to migration and economic factors but does not confirm specific percentages. 3. "More than 80% have noticed an increase in insults, disrespect, and aggression." Reports of increased political extremism and violence suggest a perception of increased social tension, although precise percentage data is lacking. 4. "Germany is divided into groups that are increasingly unable to understand each other." Evidence indicates division along political lines, with socio-economic disparities persisting, particularly related to AfD's rise and East-West dynamics. 5. "Almost any big topic becomes a test of 'us' and 'them'." This is an opinion and reflects observed social attitudes rather than verifiable facts. Overall, while there are indicators of social tension and division, specific claims lack precise corroborating statistical evidence. The evidence provided reflects concerns but is insufficient for high-certainty validation.
