More than 100,000 protest across Germany over far-right AfD’s mass deportation meetings
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

Ah yes, protests! Famously capable of stopping evil people in their tracks. That's why ww2 is a fictional tale!
Good job, you burned that strawman to the ground e a s i l y.
Seriously though, no one believes this would solve everything. And it can still be one thing worth doing for other, smaller reasons.
But since you still have a very obvious point, why don't you skip to the interesting part; how to do better? What's your approach?
Nothing I could possibly say could alter the course of moronic humanity. You cannot even accept an obvious statement of fact without dejection and snark.
Humanity is too stupid to change its fate, and I am not above saying I told you so; at least I recognize saying it changes nothing just like protests change nothing.
Ah yes, the right way to fight fascism is to complain, that the world is shit and do nothing about it. That's the spirit.
There are a lot of people, that fight against fascism daily, who are active in their communities and strive for a better world. The hopes of these people got crushed by the constant negative press and the climb of the right wing in election surveys. Now they see, that they have indeed a backing in the general population. Furthermore it was a huge AfD talking point, that they speak for the silent majority, which is why they attack the protests now by calling them fake or that the protestors were paid by the government.
I understand the idea of galvanizing. Maybe you should grow a brain and realize I want what comes AFTER the galvanizing, not calling to go back to The Before Times™. I want people MORE pissed off and ready to actually DO something.
It doesn't stop evil people, but before these protests I thought this country was slowly drifting into the far right, like so many other European countries. Now I know that a million people are willing to go on he streets. Hell, even in my right wing city in Saxony ten thousand people went to the protests, this time not because of an anti fascist concert like last time.
Yes, I do think this can fight against fascists. We can start talking about what to do against them and why people feel the need to vote for the AfD and their likes, collectively.
Or we can just stay miserable like you
Thank you. I had this in mind as a reason, or maybe more as a hope.

This is uplifting news! Thanks for sharing.
Ahh yes, that concert sure slowed them down.
They already know they're a minority. Why are you assuming you are not a majority against them?
Everyone has such fucking pathetic responses to people who LITERALLY WANT TO KILL YOU if you're not "normal". You should already know those troglodytes are a minority.
It's not the troglodytes, it's not Sellner and Höcke and all the other nazis that are the problem. It's these idiots who literally, LITERALLY, I've spoken to colleagues like that here in Chemnitz TODAY, think that these guys are overly demonized, that not everything the AfD is all right but maybe you can take some campaign points of them because they aren't so unreasonable, that LITERALLY segway the conversation about the protests into how you can't even call it Zigeuner Schnitzel anymore and that those protesters would have been fuming if they saw the menu of restaurant they were on that weekend. I guarantee you, they don't know what these people were protesting against, but are so angry at the government that they ignore anything that would suggest that they are wrong and give in to their bigotry
I just want to know that there are more people that would go on the streets against the fascists than those blind sheep.
The complacency of the ignorant is part of the exact problem I'm pointing at.
Why do you think so many are lazy about activism? Is it because they think protests are actual work? Complacency after making vapid statements that don't actually even slow down the bad people is also bad.
Normies are lazy because they think this virtue signaling shit is more effective than it is.
