Tens of thousands gather in Berlin to protest far-right AfD party
Around 150,000 people took to the streets of Berlin on Saturday as nationwide protests against the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) entered their fourth week.
My (UK based, but owned by German parent) company sent out an Email denouncing the AfD.
Honestly felt quite surreal, my employer telling me not to give in to hate, bigotry and German nationalism.
Viel Glück, meine deutschen Freunde!
Fascism is not an opinion but a crime.
Being against hate and Deportation is not politikal it is human.
I would not want to have Nazis working for me either. I don't buy into that whole talk to them, change their mind nonsense. I say we ostracize them as much as possible, have them be pariahs. We either shame them into not being absolute garbage humans or they can fuck right off. Absolutely zero tolerance for Nazis.
If it were about a mere political idea, I'd agree with you. But here were speaking about a party that's in the process of becoming outright fascist and facism isn't just an "idea", it's also a crime against humanity.
Your employer denouncing fascism shouldn't be any more concering than your employer telling you not to assault your coworkers. It shouldn't be controversial at all but part of the basic consensus civilized society is based upon.
