This may be the germanest thing I’ve ever seen. An island named “jam” infested with rich people? Said rich people being literal gentry? And also literal nazis? And also there being a flock of the dirtiest, most disgusting punks you’ve seen to protest them? And the worst rags you’ve ever heard of being there to publicise the spectacle?
I’m not sure Germany is capable of doing anything to a normal degree.
holidaymakers have complained of noise, rubbish and odour from the encampment, leading a court last year to order it be cleared ahead of schedule. Frank Deppe, a Sylt podcaster, recalled conflict between the protesters and local business owners including shouted insults and even fistfights.
This isn't a protest, it's just dudes wanting to go on a cheap vacation and drink. And I do mean dudes. I only see 3 women and 20 dudes in the pictures.
Rising housing prices have made it hard for locals, so these guys play music and chill outside? That's not a protest.
Leaving rubbish is annoying but considering who they're protesting the pollution they're causing isn't even comparable to the rich assholes on the island.
And, like, they're Germans, of course they're fucking drinking - Germany has a wide variety of beers, liquors and wines that are common staples.
I'm going to protest on the beach later next month. I think some time on the weekend when it's warm and sunny. Might enhance the protest by reading a book and listening to some music, then going swimming. I'm sure important social change will result.
Tell me you don't know anything about German society without telling me you don't know anything about German society.
From a German perspective, punks camping on Sylt during the holiday season is a 100% fitting way to protest the far right, economic exclusion, and failure to act on climate change. Honestly they should make this a yearly thing, make it bigger, build a festival around it.
