Damn. Wish the rest of Europe would do it this big.

In Germany millions are protesting against our fascist party AfD, after they unveiled their mass deportation plans.

the french are already doing it quite well, wherever you live would definetely benefit from a protest of this scale.

The French right wing party “Front National” nearly won the presidential election. I think France should do a lot better!!

When? Where? Last time I remember this in France was 19 years ago. :-(

Let's just appreciate for a moment how great of a choice Ode to Joy is for the European Anthem. It's a very memorable tune which honestly kind of slaps in a way that few anthems do.

Still not as great as La Marseillaise (which is not even a song, but a war chant meant to be hollered), but one of the best anthems out there nonetheless.

It's beautiful. Many of the comments here demonstrate that Lemmy still needs to learn how to not feed the trolls, and I wonder if it's something similar that's needed in real life politics.

I think the difference is posting on lemmy isn't quite the same as having an entire society's fate in your hands.

I can ignore despicable politicians, but that doesn't prevent them getting elected and targetting people like me.

Reminds me of Oswald Mosley (leader of the British fascist party c. 1930s) saying that it didn't matter if they won tomorrow or after a hundred years. Thankfully he was wrong about winning... but truly these fascist fuckers will always pop up somewhere.

We know it's a bad idea, we know it's a dangerous idea, we know it's a deadly idea, and a complete failure in practice. Sign me up! /s

This is great news. However, I can't help but fear that people went back to their private lives afterwards thinking "well done, we defended democracy". Where to go from here? How to keep people engaged in fighting the right? What are realistic next steps for those of us wanting to do more than voting and the occasional demonstration, other than violence? On another note, how might one approach minorities concerned by the indicated policies to join the movement?

I'm glad to see people up in arms about this. We need more of this. Across the world.
