Just how mental can you get.

Quote:
Ca. 200 had assembled on the cemetary to commemorate the deaths of Dresden. 50 of them could be identified as neo-Nazis. World War II Germany, in their world view, is a nation of victims. While the bourgeois parties speak of British war crimes, the Neo-Nazis refer to it as the 'Holocaust of Bombs' against the German people.

13 February is one of the most important dates in the German nationalist calendar, presenting an opportunity to forget the millions of Jews, Gypsies, communists and disabled who were killed by Germans in the concentration camps. It is commemorated by the mainstream parties and far right groups alike.

Ca. 100 anti-fascists protested at the cemetary today. They attempted to disrupt the commemorative silence and the union of neo-Nazis and citizens. Anti-fascists warn of a historical revisionism in Germany. With only few Holocaust survivors still alive, there is an increasing feeling amongst Germans that one should 'forget the past'. There were only minor scuffles with the police. Paper airplanes resembling RAF bombers were made to provoke the mourners.

Do they protest the commeration of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki too?

Why should they protest the commeration of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki? They are ant-german, not anti-japanese. But of course, if Hiroshima and Nagasaki would have been within Germany, those little males would haved cheered the a-bombs as well.

I might be wrong (but i'm great, so probably not), bit too early for irony?

Do you think they hate their mums too? I fucking despair!

well...

whoever wrote that piece is a wanker - but marching against nazis might not have been such a stupid thing. Its the spin but on it which is out of order.

I don't know... Its all this marching and protesting that puzzles me... The BNP (and before them, the NF) always lay a wreath on rememberance day but it has never occurred to any uk antifascists to protest the event itself. If there are nazis trying to organise, you just try and stop them don't you? Wants the point in having some kind of political demo crying about their presence and turning it into some denunciation of old codgers who just want to commemorate the dead?

hey, not everybody would automatically see antideutsche when they see this demo. you've gotta look quite hard to recognise it. and that's the danger. kids not knowing any better getting all mixed up with this weird shit.
