Not agreeing with your world view does not make people "an unholy mixture of racists, anti-democratic groups, anti-vaxxers and lots more". You just show your ignorance and the lack of accepting a difference in opinion.

View on HN

They have people running around with "Reichsflagge". There are people from 3. Weg, a known Neo-Nazi party. There are people from AfD, another Ultra-Conservative right extremist party. There are people from "Die Basis", a party full of Nazis and conspiracy nutjobs. There are people holding anti-vaxx signs. They are calling to bring in children as human shields. They are calling for disassembly of the government.

But sure, it's just a "difference in opinion".

You make it sound as if this was the majority but it is not by a long shot.

Every legitimate protest throws those kind of people out. They don't. You may want to ask them why. Funnily enough many of those "protests" are organized by known extremists or those party members.

Is it defined by you who is allowed to participate and what makes a protest legitimate? If people there make illegal actions, the police has to intervene. That's it.

Every protest has someone organizing it. It is their job to distance themselves from certain groups and to send them off. And if those groups don't comply, the police is happy to help. But instead of doing that, they happily walk side by side with those groups and participate in protests that are organized by those.

They want to be accepted by the majority? Then they need to stop walking with literal Nazis.

I am not sure if they want to be accepted by the majority. My guess is the want to protest against the Covid measures by the government..

BTW I just found this https://www.welt.de/politik/deutschland/article236205086/Ver... by accident.

So even the Verfassungsschutz is saying that the majority of the protesters are "usual citizens".

I don't want to persuade you of anything. You can think what you want. You should just leave the same freedom to others and not frame them because some nutjobs are part of a protest..

Have a nice day.
