The crucifix itself isn't the weird part; people use symbols as stand-ins for concepts all the time. They celebrate what his death signifies to them: God giving them a way to escape the punishment he's threatened us with as consequences of his own error. How gracious of him, that he made us so worthless, then gave us a chance to win his approval by having someone else tortured in our stead.

The weird part is that they consider the crucifix a symbol of love. "Let's use a torture device as a symbol of mercy".

Christians are, indeed, a weird cult.

As of right now, the article speaks of "Maskierte Demonstranten", meaning masked protesters.

No, I'm a proper one ;-)

split into occupation zones.

Who'd voluntarily occupy it though?

Sorry, no can do, but how about we make one president?

If Germany was a US state, it would be the fifth largest by land area, but its population of 83mil is more than the two most populous US-states combined (CA 39mil + TX 32mil ≈ 71mil). Its top three states, population-wise (NW 18mil, BY 13mil, BW 11mil) would individually make it into the top ten (with BW being #10, so it'd get pushed out if we also add the other two).

So, yeah, the comparison isn't really fair.

Right, it's the one place you'll want to avoid at any cost. The only sign that allows you to do a U-turn on the highway is "Willkommen in Bayern".

Signed, a definitely biased Swabian

You can do both. It's not like voting voids some firebombing permit you never had anyway. Just mind the timing, because firebombing might end up barring you from voting.

Also, please don't firebomb Walmart. You'd just hurt other victims of the systemic evil. The people who are to blame don't shop there.

Unrelatedly, I hear there's a killer recipe for flame-grilled parasite...

If a metric becomes a target...

How many times do we have to teach you the same lesson, old man?

Externally: "Cool, let me know if you need any help"

Remember: Peaceful protests are like barking - annoying, but by itself harmless. It's the fear of the bite that makes the barking scary.

You don't have to jump straight to violence, and I believe that it's more effective to start with non-violent demands. Once you escalate, there's nowhere left to go. But the threat of it is what makes the peaceful option less destructive.

As the saying goes: Nothing will meaningfully change until the rich fear for their lives.

To the people their arbitrage would harm because it would result in the landlord ending the free water provision. If you abuse a good thing, even the most good-natured people eventually get fed up and stop providing it, to the detriment of those who used it fairly.
