To add some context: the group that promoted this initiative is a fringe ultraconservative one. Among other things, in 2020 they were denying the existence of Covid and in 2021 they did an anti 5G campaign.
- 0xDEF 4y agoFar-right extremism is surprisingly common in the German-speaking world if you look beyond Western Germany and Berlin. Eastern Germany (excluding Berlin) is one big racist hellscape where refugee homes get firebombed and Putin is worshipped as the second coming of Jesus. Switzerland and Austria are not that bad yet but judging by social media trends they both have a significant far-right problem.

Among other things, in 2020 they were first calling border closures racist, then denying the harmful effects of lockdown, then promoting riots and arson in the streets. In 2021 they did an antiwhite campaign and in 2022 they are openly collecting money for war."

- unconed 4y agoThe point is that adding "context" to an initiative by associating it with fringe politics with negative connotations does not illuminate much at all... and in particular, after the last 3 years, people should be very careful to throw stones.
