Protests held at about 100 locations over party’s meeting with neo-Nazis to discuss deporting those it deems have failed to integrate, including German citizens

    and how Germany’s hate speech laws are abused.

    And the next lie … Really, either stop posting or check your sources. That’s (far-right) bullshit.

    Im basing my judgement off of some Americans protesting for Hamas

    Germany is not the USA. That some Americans are protesting for Hamas has nothing to do with Germany.

    Edit:

    BTW, in Bremen 40,000 protested today. In Cologne another 70,000 protested. In Munich the protest had to be stopped after after more than 100.0000 (conservative estimate) people came together before the protest even started. And that are only some cities where protests are happening today. There are (peaceful) protests every day all over Germany and protests continue.

      Humans are human. There are dumb people everywhere, I’m one of them sometimes. Get a few of them together, get a circlejerk going, you can get protests for absurd things.

        you can get protests for absurd things.

        And you can protest for the right thing. E.g for democracy, freedom and against racism and autocracy.

        The majority of those who are protesting are normal people. Even the catholic and protestant churches have called to attend the protests.

        Hundreds of thousand of people are protesting every day. This is not a protest by some fringe groups. This is a mass protests by ordinary citizens because our freedoms and our democracy is under attack.
