Was one of them. Not in Berlin of course. Fuck that. But in my city they expected 700 people. We have been more than 5000.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Keep it up!
Yeah also went to a protest in my town. 500 expected, the newspaper said around 3500 attendees. That's like 7-8% of the population on a Friday afternoon where lots of people were still working. So many good signs :D
Your phrasing makes it look like you say “I was also demonstrating but of course not in Berlin, fuck Berlin”, I guess you meant something else?
Gut. Freiheit, Gleichheit, Geschwisterlichkeit. Der Rechsextremus muss scheitern.
Thats the French one.
German is Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit, found in the national hymn, on old German mark coins and now German minted euro coins.
Translates to Unity, (rule of) Law and freedom.
Recht also simply means justice, literally "what is right". And Einigkeit tends more towards concord or consensus than pure unity which can have overtones of uniformity, that's a different word in German (Einheitlichkeit). Freiheit means what it means.

Yeah I’m not as familiar with German anarchic slogans as I am with French and Spanish (married a mutualist and am a syndicalist), but good to know this
Rech-sex-tremus.
Deutsch is hard.
Yeah it’s a real bitch going from English to a language where the spelling makes more sense but the words are long enough to trip you up
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Protests on Saturday also took place in Dresden, Mainz and Hanover in a sign of growing alarm at strong public support for AfD.
The chancellor, Olaf Scholz, wrote on X: “Whether in Eisenach, Homburg or Berlin: in small and large cities across the country, many citizens are coming together to demonstrate against forgetting, against hatred and hate speech.”
Jakob Springfeld, who speaks for the NGO Solidarity Network Saxony, said he was shocked that it had taken such a long time for mass demonstrations against the far right, given the AfD had been successful in many smaller communities already.
Earlier this week, a Forsa poll showed that backing for AfD had dropped below 20% for the first time since July, with voters citing countrywide demonstrations against the far right as the most important issue.
The protests, which are now in their fourth week, followed a report last month that two senior AfD members had attended a meeting to discuss plans for the mass deportation of citizens of foreign origin.
AfD co-leader Tino Chrupalla told broadcaster Deutschlanfunk that while it was “legitimate to take to the streets”, protesters should not allow themselves to be used to distract parties from the country’s actual problems.
The original article contains 380 words, the summary contains 201 words. Saved 47%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
This is very nice. In the meantime the German government cut funding for the UN humanitarian aid organization, with the predictable outcome that many thousands of civilizations are going to starve or thirst to death or die from diseases. Because Israel said so after the ICJ ruling.
This in contravention of the ICJ ruling that ordered to stop Genocide. Which is binding for all countries to take steps to prevent genocide. German press isn't really reporting on what that means.
Which means the current "social democratic / green / liberal" coalition is potentially aiding in a genocide.
Fuck the AfD fascists but you know... fuuuuuuuuuuuck
with the predictable outcome that many thousands of civilizations are going to starve or thirst to death or die from diseases.
UNWRA currently isn't able to get aid in because the IDF blocks everything so right now is actually the about best time to put pressure on them to clean ship. Not to mention that there's other agencies and organisations in the area doing generic humanitarian work, schools are about the last of Gazan's worries right now.
This in contravention of the ICJ ruling that ordered to stop Genocide.
The ICJ said no such thing. The preliminary order requires Israel to make sure that aid is getting to Gazans.

Thanks, but I have read the order I don't need a random secondary source to know what's in there or not. Paragraph 80.
I mean even on the face of it: It's Israel which is getting sued, not the rest of the world. Of course the ICJ is thus going to order Israel to do stuff, not the rest of the world, which isn't in the dock.
The court determined that there is risk of genocide, so the world community MUST act. Instead they cut of funding for humanitarian aid, which is in direct contravention of international law.

- The international community, through the United Nations, also has the responsibility to use appropriate diplomatic, humanitarian and other peaceful means, in accordance with Chapters VI and VIII of the Charter, to help protect populations from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity. In this context, we are prepared to take collective action, in a timely and decisive manner ...
That's not a court order. It's not even a treaty. It's a summit paper summing up how the participants understand applicable international law. The summit was 2005. Israel already did shady shit back then but SA hadn't yet brought a case before the ICJ, mostly because Israeli politicans hadn't yet run their mouth regarding the seed of Amalek and stuff which enabled dragging Israel before court in the first place as the charge of genocide requires intent to destroy, not mere war crimes, those kinds of quotes are necessary to prove intent.
Learn to actually read and contextualise the stuff you're quoting. I don't disagree with the sentiment but boy are your posts full of holes. Hasbara would have you for breakfast.
Well then listen to the interview with the actual lawyer I linked
