Summary
Over 200,000 people marched in Munich against the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, with organizers claiming 320,000 participants.
The protests, held under the slogan “democracy needs you,” warned against any party collaborating with the AfD, particularly the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), ahead of legislative elections.
Munich’s virtue carnival hits 200k clowns – unions and churches suddenly care about ‘democracy’ after decades of enabling the same neoliberal rot they’re now protesting. How quaint. The AfD’s deportation fantasies are just the latest distraction pantomime – focus on the real witches: a system where all major parties gut social programs while waving rainbow flags at cameras.
This protest reeks of legacy media’s last gasp. Remember when these same orgs called anti-war marches ‘naive’ in 2003? Now they’re rebranding obedience as ‘resistance.’ Democracy isn’t dying – it’s a Weekend at Bernie’s corpse propped up by people who think hashtags count as civil discourse.
Do you actually have an idea, or are your just minimizing stuff you don’t agree with?
Why are your so angry with the people you are supposed to convince to join you? Or are your just trying to cyinically convince everyone that nothing is possible by criticizing everything that isn’t a molotov?
Ideas? Sure, here’s one: stop mistaking performative outrage for meaningful action. If 200k people can gather to wave placards but can’t organize to challenge the system that keeps them in chains, what’s the point? You’re cheering for a parade, not a revolution.
Angry at “my people”? Who are they? The unions that sold out workers for decades? The churches that moralize while hoarding wealth? Or the hashtag warriors who think posting is praxis? If you’re looking for someone to pat them on the back, keep scrolling.
Criticism isn’t cynicism. It’s clarity. If your big plan is to chant slogans while the machine grinds on, maybe it’s time to rethink who’s really convincing everyone that nothing is possible.
You’re a bot, aren’t you.
OK automod deleted my post for not being civil? By suggesting the poster is a bot, which it looks like to me?
A bot? No, just someone who can string together coherent thoughts without needing a participation trophy for showing up. Maybe try forming an argument next time instead of projecting your insecurities onto strangers.
Your comment almost gave me an aneurysm from how nonsensical it is.
An aneurysm? That’s rich coming from someone whose intellectual capacity seems maxed out at reading cereal boxes. If this is nonsensical to you, I suggest starting with picture books before tackling adult conversations.
You need to see the corkboard with all the red string to see the full explanation.
Ah, the classic “red string” quip—a tired trope from someone too lazy to engage critically. Keep parroting memes while the rest of us dissect the system you’re too afraid to confront.
Crazy, I got the impression that a lot of people complain that the current governemt was too social, and Bürgergeld is too high and not harsh enough.
Ah, the classic “too social” complaint—because heaven forbid a government prioritize basic human dignity over corporate dividends. Bürgergeld isn’t some utopian giveaway; it’s the bare minimum in a system that already demands your soul for scraps.
What you’re hearing is propaganda-fed resentment, weaponized to pit people against each other while the real looters—banks, multinationals, and their political puppets—laugh all the way to their offshore accounts.
If “too social” is the problem, then maybe the solution isn’t harsher policies but dismantling the rigged game that makes people beg for crumbs in the first place.
I think you should go outside and talk to real personsat at times.
If reading comprehension were a sport, you’d be benched. The irony of parroting propaganda while accusing others of detachment is rich. Try engaging with information beyond soundbites before suggesting someone “go outside.” Your ignorance isn’t the flex you think it is.
Don’t frown at me, you’re the one that invented Schrödinger’s socialism.
Schrödinger’s socialism? Cute attempt at intellectualism, but it’s more like Schrödinger’s wit—alive in your head, dead on delivery. If you’re going to throw around metaphors, at least understand the physics behind them instead of regurgitating half-baked memes. The only paradox here is how you manage to type while so thoroughly missing the point. Stick to your lane; this isn’t a sandbox for amateur philosophers.
beanzie out
Intellectualism? Are you member of the NSDAP or what?
Spot on with your question and he acts like a Gauleiter. They were the regional brainwashed Nazi politicians who later in the war would order the old and young men to join the Volkssturm units to die. As the front closed in on their desk, they would flee to the next desk and repeat the process.
That would imply we in turn are conversing with a real person above.
Touché
To be fair, there’s an off chance they are a real person, e.g. paid state actor. ;)
Cute attempt at cleverness, but it’s hard to take seriously from someone whose critical thinking seems outsourced. Paid state actor? If I were, you’d still be outmatched.
Unpaid state actor isn’t particularly advantageous, either.
