Summary

Over 200,000 people marched in Munich against the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, with organizers claiming 320,000 participants.

The protests, held under the slogan “democracy needs you,” warned against any party collaborating with the AfD, particularly the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), ahead of legislative elections.

    I think all your criticisms are valid, but I sense a generalized vitriol born from disappointment of specific entities or people, while you’re criticizing what’s possibly the first “big” political for many of those people, and you risk of alienating everyone potentially capable or willing to do more by talking this way. No political community is sustainable if there cannot be clemency for the inadequate actions of ignorant people.

    Accountability is important, criticism is important, but self criticism and self accountability are the most important of all.

    Acting high and mighty towards the “less politically pure” than you will not pressure anyone into doing more, you might not like to hear it, but to many what you wrote can be equally seen as virtue signalling.

    I write this with no animosity, just trying to form a constructive criticism for your justified frustration
