A lot of Germans are such pussies these days. When I was there in the early 90s every German hated Turks and kicked the shit out of them on a regular basis. Unfortunately unification absorbed a lot of committed communist pussies..
30 years ago, most towns were still predominantly Germans. Now, after decades of increased immigration, the balance has shifted. If a German kicked shit out of a Turk or Syrian or take your pick middle east country, they would be up against a whole gang or neighbourhood of foreigners.
As for unification, obviously there were some committed commies and Stasi but what did become apparent after the fall of the wall was the rise of real right wing extremism in the former East Germany.
Most Germans I know are just as pissed off with their Govt as Americans are with theirs. Many of the older ones, who built the industrial powerhouse that Germany became, can't believe what's going on and are sadly not as well informed as in English speaking countries, but many are waking up now.
According to reports in German newspaper 'Bild' the demos were 10's of thousands and countrywide possibly up to 100 000. Not sure where the millions comes from because even the reported numbers will be exaggerated to trance the AfD.
Germany has a lot of immigrants and a lot of liberals, so I'm not surprised so many turned up to demo against right wing extremism.
I don't view this any different than the efforts in the US to denounce MAGA.
They are scared that the AfD is gaining support but they also know, due to history, that the easiest way to deter people from supporting them is to associate them with right wing or Nazis. Again no different to tactics we've seen elsewhere, except Germans are still very sensitive to that.
Apart from that, the farmers were grabbing all the headlines, so they needed to do something to distract from that.
Was it an actual million or are they fudging the numbers like how they claim Jan 6 and Trump rallies have way less people? What proof this isn't CGI? It'd be much easier to hide imperfections in a night "video".
no soccer game... the lyrics they are singing are directed against fascism, to stand up... But the right wing AFD party is already been voted into the Gov. and getting stronger by the day.
The people who vote AfD would be hauled away to jail if they tried to stage a similar demonstration. They know that, so they are relatively silent, and hope their votes will deliver their message.
But, trotting out a million lefties to sing songs will not stop the growth of populist conservative parties. People in developed countries around the world are waking up to the reality their lives and the life of their country are being stolen from them.
Europe can't have a "Civil War" since it isn't (legally speaking) a single polity. The last two times Europe had a war such as you imply, they called them World Wars.
Is it not interesting, that while the farmer protests are going on, this is being set up? Does it take away from the farmer protests? It sure does.
So, it is political. It is a paid manifestation. So, let' s consider who would be paying any amount to quell farmer protests that generally tend to support "right wing" common sense?

Yeah i was there during late 80s and the 90s too...Saw a Lot of that.

They just need to clear them out. They have no right to be there.

They always try to use demoralization as their tactic.
But people are waking up to their psyops.

I agree completely

FTFY
You'll know if war is imminent because the French will hang out white flags
not good
So, how where these people paid?
