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.
Your comment almost gave me an aneurysm from how nonsensical it is.
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.
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.
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.
I think all your criticisms are valid, but I sense a generalized vitriol born from disappointment of specific entities or people, while you’re criticizing what’s possibly the first “big” political for many of those people, and you risk of alienating everyone potentially capable or willing to do more by talking this way. No political community is sustainable if there cannot be clemency for the inadequate actions of ignorant people.
Accountability is important, criticism is important, but self criticism and self accountability are the most important of all.
Acting high and mighty towards the “less politically pure” than you will not pressure anyone into doing more, you might not like to hear it, but to many what you wrote can be equally seen as virtue signalling.
I write this with no animosity, just trying to form a constructive criticism for your justified frustration

OK automod deleted my post for not being civil? By suggesting the poster is a bot, which it looks like to me?

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.

Don’t frown at me, you’re the one that invented Schrödinger’s socialism.

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.
You know why I dig into you? People like you always poppig up close to an election spouting discouraging propaganda of a dead democracy and implying that people should better stay at home instead of voting.
Coincidentially with a core message most of us would agree with.
You are spreading the propaganda we should be aware of that you pretemnd to warn me from.
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. ;)

Hey Nazihure, verpiss dich!
Unpaid state actor isn’t particularly advantageous, either.
