Tens of thousands gathered in Hamburg on Friday for a demonstration against the far right, and organizers said the protest was ended early because the mass of people led to safety concerns.

Original title: Tens of thousands pack into a protest in Hamburg against Germany’s far right

Edit: The protest was ended early because the location was too small for that many people, raising concerns that e.g. paramedics couldn’t quickly reach people in the centre of the crowd in case of a medical emergency.
Originally, the protest was supposed to take place in front of the town hall and not at the Jungfernstieg Boulevard, but the far right Alternative for Germany party had called on short notice for a meeting of the state legislature in the town hall. During such a meeting, protests are banned within the vicinity of it for security reasons.

    The best part about climate change is that as more extreme methods are needed to combat it as we twiddle our collective thumbs, the reaction and shift rightwards will be even bigger.

    You saw how mad they got when they thought they were going to loose their hamburgers. Imagine when they literally loose their hamburgers.

      I think it’s more that the shift to the extremes will be bigger. Whether the shift is more to the left or to the right is determined by community building and media presence.
