Sadly, as with all German anti war movements, it is basically a Russian propaganda outlet or at least does nothing against russbots in there. People like Wagenknecht or querdenken crowd love to dress themselves up in peace talks while actively lobbying to lift sanctions against Putin and his war.
Can’t take those people seriously.
Since Covid & Russia attacking Ukraine I simply cannot trust any sort of general peace movement anymore.
Antivaxx weirdos finding strange new bedfellows in the far-right movement, and accepting it. Anti-5G without understanding a single bit of the technology and how it compares to other mobile broadband technologies (or have you ever met a person who is against 5G and also against 3G and 4G). Putin is actually the one who wants peace and is being painted as a black sheep by “mainstream media”.
And who’s at the top of that pile? Sarah Wagenknecht*, the right-wing populist wolf in leftist sheepskin. Say no more.
* Zarenknecht
A self-defined “anti-war movement” in Germany or any European country whose protagonists don’t even name Russia’s war against Ukraine and ignore that the Kremlinthat is increasingly threathening Europe by sabotage activities -such as arson and cyber attacks- discredits itself imo.
It’s a mix of conspiracy theorists, esotericists, people who follow Hamas and Kremlin propaganda… Similar to the folks who were at the “Anti-Covid” demonstrations some years ago, but much, much less people now. Lead by Sarah Zarenknecht, a failed communist and now “left - conservative” and Alice Schwarzer, a second wave feminist that went crazy 15 years ago.
I really hate that title. They don‘t want peace. They‘re desperately trying to convince us to befriend a bully who hates us. Who wants to hurt us. It‘s a movement of useful idiots and enemies to freedom and democracy.
Not anti-war. Russian puppets and Nazis.
“If one side of the border chooses pacifism, the other will field an army.”
More than 10,000 people gathered in front of the world-famous Brandenburg Gate in Berlin already on September 13 under the rallying cry, “Stop the genocide in Gaza.”
…
The most prominent speaker present was politician Sahra Wagenknecht,At their demo in Berlin on September 27, Van Aken and his party hope to do things differently and, in his view, better:
Divide and conquer.
To succeed, does the left have to divide the right even more or is there a way to overcome the differences?
