Coincidentally there are very big demonstrations scheduled for today in Berlin. Trains not running to Berlin is definitely reducing the amount of participants joining these events. Just saying.
The public transport outage is an opportunity for propaganda for the AfD and plays into their hands more than additional people coming to Berlin: they can exaggerate the numbers of their supporters and claim both victim-hood and relevancy. Many of their followers are in echo-chambers of group identity, inflated self-worth and conspiracy theories: stories of the government damaging civilian infrastructure in some black ops to harm their group plays right into their believes and gives them a feeling of being relevant. Their media channels are probably buzzing with such claims. just saying
Everyone is talking about AfD instead of the original point of this thread. Every time there are big demonstrations in Berlin, trains stop running, highways are closed. You are talking about AfD as if they are the culprit.
I wish you personally an AfD-free country. You will then first hand experience the totalitarian state structures, who needs an opposition anyway? Away with it!!
Why would they care about demonstrations? It is much easier to allow them and then ignore them than it would be if someone admitted to sabotaging a railway line to reduce numbers.
As if they were the only organizing events. There’s so many more „right“ events happening today organized by people who want nothing more than freedom and a common sense and truth loving government. Citing „AfD“ doesn’t do favor to all the other events today who don’t need vicinity to „AfD“. Today anyone who opposes the official perspectives is automatically „right“, isn’t he?
the berlin event was organized by the AfD, an ethno-nationalist party, under the motto "germany first". They are fishing in the social-liberal circles claiming to be in favor of freedom and truth, but they run a well oiled propaganda machine and would rule with an iron fist should they ever take power.
The key demand by the speakers on stage at the demonstration in Berlin is about stopping the sanctions against russia and buying cheap gas from the russian siloviki, who are the epitome of a totalitarian government.
Germans, stop buying gas from Russia, you Germans deserve politically correct gas! Buy correct American gas at ten times the price, shipped ecological friendly by Diesel ships from the US! Wait, that’s also not clean enough for you? Great, then wear 3 pullovers in your apartment, stop showering, stop sauna! No single German should support dirty gas! Turn off your heaters! And don’t go to these AfD-led demonstrations! Germans, do what’s best for you and the entire world. You Germans will save us all from the evil in this world. Yes, you can!
