Germany is not the USA.

Humans are human. There are dumb people everywhere, I'm one of them sometimes. Get a few of them together, get a circlejerk going, you can get protests for absurd things.

    you can get protests for absurd things.

    And you can protest for the right thing. E.g for democracy, freedom and against racism and autocracy.

    The majority of those who are protesting are normal people. Even the catholic and protestant churches have called to attend the protests.

    Hundreds of thousand of people are protesting every day. This is not a protest by some fringe groups. This is a mass protests by ordinary citizens because our freedoms and our democracy is under attack.
