Summary
Thousands of Germans protested the CDU/CSU party for collaborating with the far-right AfD to pass anti-immigration legislation.
The move, seen as a breach of a post-war taboo against extremist parties, sparked outrage and accusations of making AfD extremism socially acceptable.
The CDU/CSU argues the legislation is necessary due to concerns about immigration and recent attacks by individuals who should have been deported.
So, the problem, as I see it, is that we already did the protest thing under the first Trump administration. It didn’t do much then and we’re tired now. It’s been about a decade of hearing about awful shit from Trump and realizing that our family members, coworkers and neighbors are actually awful people.
Difference is that in the US, people are armed to the teeth and a peaceful protect will quickly turn deadly.
Didn’t do much?. BLM freaked the fuck out of the conservative elite. They sent the fucking closest thing to the military to the protests and brutalised protesters.
People decided to back down at that point. But they didn’t have too.
No, you really didn’t.
Fuck off, libs really are just going to let Nazis march through the streets.
Pay attention to how Europeans protest.
Protesting is a lot easier when your country is 28 times smaller than the US.
Oh well, nothing to be done but stay in the house and accept whatever comes, and MAYBE the politicians will suddenly have an attack of conscience!
No, but it’s important to recognize that the situations aren’t 1:1.
What are you seeing in EU protests that BLM didn’t have?
Go look at videos of French protesting proposed social safety net cuts.
He did. It’s the same picture here. Even with all the protests we have people like Melloni and Schoof. AfD is polling at an all time high. I’m not saying stop protesting. But it’s obviously not enough to keep fascim at bay. People have to get a lot more militant.
