Showing Original Post only (View all)I know how to stop the Nazi marches [View all]
Or at least make them helpful
Borrowed from a friend on Facebook
In the small town in Germany where Nazi leader Rudolf Hess was born, every year right wing activists have been showing up to commemorate his birthday. Counter marches didn't stop them. What really got to them was when people organized to sponsor donations on their behalf, treating their march like an AIDS walk. For every meter marched, there would be 10 euros donated to anti-racist organizations. People then turned it into kind of a sports event as they showed up with banners and music cheering the facists on like "Thank you for marching for racial justice" and updating with bullhorns how much money the facists marching had already raised.- Yannik Thiem
