    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.

    That’s cute. It’s not going to slow them down.

    If anything, bad people speed up when they see they might get pushback…

    Doesn’t mean anything because all these protests are in the big cities in West Germany, AFD’s base is in East Germany and the less Urbanized areas. As long as the main parties keep ignoring the issues with immigration, AFD is going to continue to surge.

      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.

        Again, it doesn’t matter. You can see in the poll data where and why AFD is on the rise. The reason why AFD is surging is because they’re the only ones who talk about immigration. There’s literally no alternative to them. The mainstream parties ignore the problems and pretend they don’t exist, they don’t provide alternate, more sane solutions. These protests can continue until the next election day, AFD will still maintain its influence if nothing changes.

          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.
