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.
