The question I hear the most from Germans these last 2 weeks: why are the people not protesting? Are they not worried?
I have no answer.
#BrexitDisaster

I start with explaining Patel’s restrictions on protest, but then I think: why did we not protest against that?

Next I suggest that people are worried about COVID, but then I think: we could organise it properly and manage rosk, but doing nothing is worse

I could blame the lack of an opposition, but I know that #WeAreTheOppositionNow, and we cannot descend into apathy over the misguided approach of opposition parties. We need to start demanding.

By now I usually run out of ideas to explain the silence. So often I just sadly say I don’t know, because I really can’t understand it.
