200,000 march against far right in Munich
-
"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."

I can't give you one solid answer because it's a situation that has nuance.
Not everyone owns a car. Not everyone is educated well enough. Many times people are exhausted by the time they have a day off.
I'm not letting my KIDS put themselves in danger. That's insane.
But okay. This is a black and white issue with easy, simple answers. Like most issues are.

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.

Most American cities aren't New York.
We have no real public transit, and many of our cities were urbanization following the invention of the automobile and are spread out to accommodate the automobile infrastructure and longer commutes.
Houston is our third most-populous city and has a metroplex with a Combined Statistical Area of over 12,000 square miles. That makes it roughly the size of the Netherlands, with around 40% the population of the Netherlands. Soon, Houston, Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio are going to form one giant metroplex that's 60,000 square miles.

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.

Aren't the AfD only doing well in parts of East Germany, which had previously been under decades of Soviet rule?
This would be a more substantial counter-protest if it occurred in Leipzig or Dresden.

Your comment almost gave me an aneurysm from how nonsensical it is.
-
It has been a pleasure
-
You need to see the corkboard with all the red string to see the full explanation.

They poll between 11 and 18% in bavaria from what I found. They're doing best in the east, but unfortunately the entire country has a significant part of the population voting for them.

I think you should go outside and talk to real personsat at times.
-
You're a bot, aren't you.
-
That would imply we in turn are conversing with a real person above.
-
If reading comprehension were a sport, you'd be benched. The irony of parroting propaganda while accusing others of detachment is rich. Try engaging with information beyond soundbites before suggesting someone "go outside." Your ignorance isn't the flex you think it is.

Don't frown at me, you're the one that came up with Schrödinger's socialism.
-
Schrödinger’s socialism? Cute attempt at intellectualism, but it’s more like Schrödinger’s wit—alive in your head, dead on delivery. If you’re going to throw around metaphors, at least understand the physics behind them instead of regurgitating half-baked memes. The only paradox here is how you manage to type while so thoroughly missing the point. Stick to your lane; this isn’t a sandbox for amateur philosophers.

Intellectualism? Are you member of the NSDAP or what?
Your socialism is not enough and too much at the same time. More of a paradox but it doesnt sound as nice.
-
A bot? No, just someone who can string together coherent thoughts without needing a participation trophy for showing up. Maybe try forming an argument next time instead of projecting your insecurities onto strangers.
-
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.

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.
