A truly perfect composition in the context of #pacifism - what could go wrong here? 🤔
- young, posh girls posing with pacifist banners and friendly smiles somewhere in #Germany
- a column of aggressive middle-aged, likely drunk men driving old cars with with sticker “TO BERLIN FOR GERMAN WOMEN!!!” somewhere in #Russia
Banners in German:
- Peace instead of war, Freedom instead of compulsory military service
- You won’t get our brothers!

in reply to kravietz 🦇 • • •I remember hearing these sayings in the 70's. To be honest, they tend to come from people with limited brainpower. They probably never thought them through to the end.
These girls are young and they certainly do not reflect the German society.

Oh, about that I’m sure - I have plenty of friends in Germany and I definitely don’t derive my opinion about the country from a single photo 😀

"The "school strikes" were tested by Pali-Greta"
I partecipated in school strikes before Greta was even born. 😅
School strikes are a manifestation for teenagers entering the public political discourse. I'm not a great fan, but they are part of a democratic society life.
There's plenty of naiveté in those "strikes", but it is the adult's responsibility to explain why the apparently obvious message "Yes peace, no war" doesn't work in the real world.

in reply to el Celio 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 • • •School strikes are not immune to outside actors, such as russian trolls. They co-opted many Cold War era peace/anti-nuke movements to spread their message in similar ways.
