Berlin: Tens of Thousands Rally Against Ukraine War, NATO

Andrew Anglin February 26, 2023

In my experience, Germans are less dumb.

That is to say, there are fewer dumb people there than there are in America.

I’ve started to think of intelligence as not so much a spectrum as a pass/fail test. If you can’t see that the US bombed the Nord Stream pipes as an explicit attack on Germany, then you fail. (Frankly, anyone who supports the war at all, and is not a Jew or a homosexual, fails. If you’re not a Jew or a homosexual, then this war is explicit against your interests, so you’re supporting a mass slaughter, while hurting yourself, because TV news made you emotional.)

A lot of Germans can see the US did bomb those pipes, and they’re uncomfortable with their great benefactor, Uncle Sam, committing acts of war against them.

Tens of thousands of Germans braved the elements to attend the Uprising for Peace, a massive rally organized by Die Linke (Left Party) politician Sahra Wagenknecht and author Alice Schwarzer on Saturday.

The demonstrators massed at the Brandenburg Gate, calling for peace talks to end the conflict in Ukraine and demanding Berlin cease supplying Kiev with weapons.

Wagenknecht slammed the German government for trying to “ruin Russia,” urging leaders to make Moscow an “offer” so that peace talks could begin. The rally, she said, represented the “start of a citizens’ initiative” and the launch of a “new, strong peace movement in Germany.”

The rally welcomed protesters from across the political spectrum, declaring anyone who wanted peace “with an honest heart” was welcome, though neo-Nazi provocateurs jostling for media attention were not.

The organizers counted some 50,000 participants, while the police gave a lowball figure of 13,000.

Wagenknecht and Schwarzer earlier this month published a Manifest for Peace urging Chancellor Olaf Scholz to “stop the escalation in weapons deliveries.” It has since been signed by over half a million people, including well-known public intellectuals and political figures.

It’s very nice to see so many people in the streets opposing this brutal, lunatic Joe Biden agenda for “endless war.”

The problem is, Germany is a democracy, which means that they have no ability to meaningfully petition the government. They can bring a trillion people to a weekend rally in Berlin, but the government is under zero obligation to respond to or even acknowledge their protest.

It’s possible that public opinion plays some role in the functioning of a democracy, but no one has been able to explicate what that role is. Instead, they will talk about voting as the way the public is able to express themselves. However, it’s an obvious fact, which everyone knows, that voting does not change the course of a democracy government. You can go into the details of why this is, and we’ve done so often on this site, but the reasons ultimately do not matter. We can look around at all of these democracy governments and compare their behavior to opinion polling and see that there is a vast chasm.

When you have mass protests in a democracy, such as we saw with the Yellow Vests in France not long ago, the cops will be deployed to use military tactics against them, and eventually the people will get tired and go home.

The anti-virus protests reached into the tens of millions of participants across all of Europe, and yet the virus agenda did not end until the Ukraine war started. Remember that protesters were eventually classified as a form of terrorist, accused of being in league with the alleged virus.

The concept of voting neutralizes enough of the population that you can never have a serious mass protest to oust the government, and if such a thing seems possible, the president or prime minister (or chancellor) will resign, and the machine of democracy government will stay in place.

In an authoritarian system, where the illusion of changing the system through voting does not exist, the government is accountable to the people because they know that a majority of the population can refuse to work, camping out in the streets indefinitely, and eventually overwhelm the cops.

There is no viable political leader in Germany who is going to end the war in the Ukraine, and if he existed, he would be assassinated as soon as he got within 100 miles of power.

The current chancellor of Germany is continuing to claim that he will not negotiate with Russia because Russia won’t negotiate. In fact, Russia has been calling for negotiations since the war started in 2014, and has continued to do so.

Probably, protests are still worthwhile, as they lay the groundwork for people to refuse to be drafted to fight in a third world war. Just don’t imagine the government is going to change any single policy because you complained about it.
