The German substacker Eugyppius recounts his secret mission to infiltrate an “anti-Nazi” protest in Dresden. It seems that the revolution is short on both enthusiasm and logic these days.
Yesterday I finally went to one of these unceasing ritual protests “against the right.” I’ve been planning to do this for a while, and the time had finally come. I donned a sensible cap and a wool overcoat in an effort to look the part of a random sympathetic leftist academic, and set off into the night.
The human chain defended liberal rights and freedoms for ten minutes, starting at 6pm. Thereafter, organisers invited the links of their chain to stick around and “positively occupy” city squares. Our good liberals, in other words, having finished their extremely correct commemoration of bombing victims and taken a stance against the “instrumentalisation” of 13 February “by the right,” were then told to join the “Dresden Wi(e)dersetzen” demonstration, whose organisers had smeared them in the press as “new Nazis” just five days previously. You might be thinking that this is all very stupid, and you would be right. Towering unbelievable stupidity was the order of the night.
Some younger friends went to a George Floyd Protest in Minneapolis on the last Thursday in May after he died on Memorial Day Monday.
They were there from about 2 to 7 pm. The first few hours were very peaceful and respectful. They said it looked like a “shift change” started about 6 pm. Normal people were leaving for the evening to attend to families and people in Black Bloc with backpacks starting showing up. They could “feel the mood change,” and left.
Yes, it turned into another riot, for the third night in a row. There was another riot on Friday Night too. The riots finally stopped on Saturday when the Governor Walz finally brought in 14,000 National Guard and every badged LEO he could find, including game wardens and prison guards.
“ I ended up standing next to a tall man who had a very insistent and robotic style of clapping every time the announcers deplored Nazis. I decided, for the purposes of cover, that it would be best to clap when he clapped, and the lingering uni girls behind me decided it would be best to clap when I clapped. Every time the organiser denounced Nazis, we all clapped together, and in this way we defeated fascism.”
Ahahaha.
“Towering unbelievable stupidity…”
Indeed.
Dresden.
uhuh.
the occupants of which, had naziism prevailed, would have had one of the highest avg stds of living in any city, relative to size and date, *in history*.
why is that?
french chef from occupied fwance, servants and maids from elsewhere.
a british gardener allowed to ‘visit family’ once or twice a year, they living elsewhere close to the slave labour manned factories all over europe.
and no joos. how’d that happen? dont ask dont tell thats how.
ah but a fluke in the weather pattern and one of those damnedable ‘Murphy’s Law’ things happened.
plus they DIDNT win, so all the 3rd reich talk was just talk.
some of the talk included ‘where do we sign the surrender?’.
(same sort of analysis post hiroshima-nagasaki)
jist sayin’ . . . . .
