That’s about as many soldiers Rome had during the battle of cannae

2% of 200 million is 4 million.
4 million.
2 million would be 1%.
Which would be impressive as an army
4,000,000

Does any right wing candidate have a platform other than hating ‘others’?
Being for the “little man” although their party program says the exact opposite.
Fuck yeah Germany!
Germany clearly restores my faith in humanity
160.000 but ok
This is the best summary I could come up with:
German chancellor Olaf Scholz has again strongly condemned alleged plans by right-wing extremists and politicians from the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party for the mass deportation of migrants, drawing parallels with Nazi racial ideology.
Around 90 further demonstrations have been planned in cities across Germany this weekend, including in Nuremberg, Dortmund, Hannover, Erfurt, Magdeburg and Frankfurt on Saturday and Munich, Berlin, Cologne, Dresden, Leipzig and Bonn on Sunday.
Scholz’s comments came on the day that the German parliament, the Bundestag, voted to relax the law on naturalization and widen access to dual citizenship in Germany.
News of the far-right gathering in Potsdam drew added attention in Germany given that the AfD is currently polling as the second-largest party nationwide, just months ahead of three major regional elections in the eastern German states of Saxony, Thüringen, and Brandenburg, where their support is strongest.
A group of eastern German bishops warned against “distrust and scorn” for democratic processes and cautioned that populist, extreme-right and antisemitic positions were becoming “increasingly socially acceptable.”
Footballers and coaches from Germany’s Bundesliga have also spoken out against the AfD, with SC Freiburg manager Christian Streich saying that “anyone who does nothing now has learned nothing from school or history” and numerous clubs calling on their fans to take part in demonstrations.
The original article contains 686 words, the summary contains 213 words. Saved 69%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Local newspaper Hamburger Abendblatt said the event ended at 4:45 p.m. local time on security grounds since it was feared that “people could fall into the Alster,” the river that flows into the Elbe in Hamburg, in the snowy conditions.
Damn climate change this is how the Alster is supposed to look right now. (The Alster is not just a river it’s a large lake created by damming it up for a mill, cut in two by a damn and bridge originally part of the original city walls. The lake is ludicrously large compared to the river which makes it freeze up real nice. If we still had winters).
That’s the exception, not the norm. I’m closing in on 50 and the Alster being frozen so thick that you can safely walk on it was always something special. Besides, with climate change you get more extreme weather and not just warmer weather.
Hmmm just had a look at the years. Seems making it a big thing with stands etc. only became a thing in the 70s (before was post-war and before that they kept it open for shipping), then it happened a lot, and now it doesn’t.
We really didn’t have a proper winter in ages though. Temperatures like this and colder were normal 30 years ago, not the exception, and “winters” like the last one completely unheard of.

There were huge protests in Halle, Leipzig and other eastern cities on Saturday already, also in smaller cities, and today they will continue.
It’s not about immigration, it’s about being indoctrinated by fascists.

Except AFD is not providing any solution to immigration what so ever. The reason AFD is on the rise, is that people a caught up in informational bubbles, which are the greatest gift to populist since the invention of print and video.
Also immigration is not a problem. Nazis are.
That’s cute. It’s not going to slow them down.
If anything, bad people speed up when they see they might get pushback…
that sounds like something a coward would say. good for these people. europe has a spine.
I think they might be pointing out that actual bad people don’t care about protests. If the protests don’t directly and obviously cause financial harm or risk to their position they will not be considered.
And I agree, we all need to stop thinking the bad people will start acting good “if just show them the error of their ways”. These are dangerous people and we have a right as living beings to defend ourselves and our community from them - in every country.
Yep, you understand. Everyone else seems to be given to team sports thinking…
These are bad people that won’t stop just because everyone’s whining about it.
