Thousands marched in Berlin to reprise demonstrations questioning government-imposed measures at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants also voiced opposition to Germany's push to rebuild its military.

Several thousand people on Saturday joined a street demonstration and rally in Berlin organized by Germany’s “Lateral Thinking” protest movement.

The protest faction, best known for staging demonstrations against COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, was calling for a reassessment of government measures and “consequences for those responsible.”

However, a large contingent also protested against the German government’s push to rebuild the country’s military.

    I believe that’s probably the real reason, yes. I doubt that this many people are still upset about being asked to stay home for a few months and get a shot. What they’re mad about is what happened immediately after COVID, when they did everything they could, only to have had their livelihoods taken from them by opportunistic corporations and the elites while it was made literally illegal to speak out against it.

    For the most part, people would’ve followed lockdowns without much protest if they had been taken care of and things were “still where they life them” when it lifted, so to speak. Most people struggle with critical thinking and are confusing correlation with causation.

      Why are you posting shit when you got no clue what you’re talking about?

      These “Querdenker” are those kinda dumbfucks, vaccination deniers who couldn’t be bothered to wear masks for 20 minutes while grocery shopping, who spread awful lies like “our children are dying because they can’t breathe with their masks”, who would risk the lives of their fellow humans for their own comfort.

      But you couldn’t resist posting your shitty fanfic here and pretending to be an expert on something you have no single clue about, glazing up these right-wing extremist fucks when all you had to do was just inform yourself for a second before you post your shitty theory here.
