“Those who sleep in democracy will wake up in a dictatorship” Nice sign
More people protesting in Germany than here in our own country
They need to be very careful that it doesn’t happen (again) there as well. Elon is backing Alternative for Germany and they’re now the second most powerful party in the country. They have a similar platform to Project 2025 except more extreme and without the dog whistles. It’s all right up front and in your face.
I’m there in spirit with a sign that reads “Fick dich, Elon Musk.”
We need this in the US
Maybe we could do something like this in America??
I just love the sign, he should really self reflect and remember those mistakes.Â
Seriously, where are the 100k in Washington or New York?
It’s nice these are happening all over the world. Serious question though, where the fuck are the protests in the US? It’s the only place it’s going to count. I’ve seen mass protests for much much smaller things than installing Hitler 2.0.
Must be nice to have a population that protests fascism rather than votes it into office.
Good job, it’s all over
FCKNZS FCKAFD FCKCDU
Cologne and other cities too 😀
Good. Now I expect 100000 people to go and vote when it’s time ’cause we don’t want a repeat of USA where masses of crowds were there for Harris and then the fascists won anyway
Fcking crickets in Murica…

whats your excuse america
I’ve been trying to absorb Weimar culture the last couple days. A lot of fascinating parallels. Where is our Bertolt Brecht? Where is our Lotte Lenya? It’s crazy to see how people were calling out the rise of the Nazis as it was happening, and the benefit of hindsight we know how it turned out, but so many people at the time were just like “this will all blow over soon, Nazis are useful because they are keeping the communists out”
Of course there are artists who speak out against this today, but our mainstream culture is an industry in and of itself which seeks more to sustain itself than it does to educate or inspire critical thought. I suppose this was also true of Weimar culture, but artists back then were very much bohemian (poor as shit) making art for art’s sake, while our artists are millionaires living in Hollywood mansions. This is all a very jumbled chain of thoughts that haven’t arranged themselves into a proper observation, but I think something really fucked up is about to happen.
Danke schon Berlin!!! Danke schon Deutschland!
We need more of this
Let’s go!
Trump and the Trumpophiles should listen to them. They’ve been though it before. They don’t like to see it come back again. They had enough the first time.
Couldn’t find this on any reliable news source… are we sure this is going on today? And that it’s this many people? I hope so
But what do Germans know about fasci… er… never mind.

Very easy: ban the AfD. Jail all of its members.
I want to emphasize that it’s extremely important to not just demonstrate solidarity, but to have those tough conversations with people you know and on social media, all the while keeping in mind the bystander audience. You need to reach the people on the fence before the other side does.
100000 people protesting to continue the destruction of Germany lol. What Germany really needs to do is not have anything to do with US foreign policy. The US is pushing Germany into Weimar territory these past few years. If this goes on for more years Germany will get actual an actual fascist dictator not a small ineffective minority party(AFD)
Every one of those phones has location tracking and there’s some agency somewhere who can identify everyone in this image.
It’s kinda sad, honestly.
Turn your phone off and leave it at home if you go out to protest.
protest with your votes, dont be amer***n
Serious question. What is typically the end result of these large protests? I feel like here, in America, they don’t amount to much these days but we also don’t usually see protests this size. My hope is that organizing a protest of this size results in change.
Thanks ahead of time for any info.
You’ll never see this on the news, the American media is as corrupt as the members of Congress. The only thing worse that a democrat is a republican.
I was there and while it’s one drop in the ocean, it still felt fucking good to stand and sing with thousands of people against Nazis. [Here is a video](https://www.rbb24.de/politik/beitrag/2025/01/berlin-demonstration-gegen-rechtsruck-lichtermeer-brandenburger-tor.html) to get an idea of the vibe
Shame they can only muster a few thousand supporters for Palestine. The spectres of the past have really stunted Germanys morality
I wouldn’t want to be parking a Tesla nearby
Cool. Are they cherry-picking or are they allowed to criticise Israel’s fascism as well?
I’m exhausted. Is politics, for the foreseeable future, just going to revolve around fearmongering and labelling opponents as fascists as a means to ban them? Do people not recognize the irony in that approach? Have we forgotten the moment in history when Hitler banned all political opposition, leveraging fearmongering about communism as one of his justifications? When does this gaslighting become too blatant and exhausting for spectators to ignore?
According to the police, there were 30,000. The leftists always lie.
