when it comes to radical right extremism, there arent many people here in Berlin/mitte that would turn a blind eye ... even tolerant people cannot tolerate the most untolerant breed of dickheads on this planet. some things are just crossing the line too far.
the opening in february of »TØNSBERG« a clothing shop selling thor steinar nazi-sportswear caused a huge upheaval here in mitte, resulting in spray bombing, multiple window stoning and antiNAZI stickers spread all over the area.
however disputable the aggressive reaction might be, there are also some who took things a step further..starting a blogspot and an art project motivating and involving the whole community to rise their voice against the welcoming of radical right extremists in our hood.... unfortunately the phenomenon is spreading across germany at a scary rate!
so all of you who didnt get it yet... a protest container will be placed on Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz on saturday 31.05 at 14h, and a StreetParty will follow...to make it clear once and for all...out with that NAZI shite from mitte!
STREETPARTY on rosa-luxemburg-platz saturday 31.05.2008
14h: opening of the container-exhibition „Mitte gegen rechts“
15-18h: regular tours in the exhibition
15-20h:open air concert with Mark Aizikovitch, dbZwoVier, Kraftpost, Sickerman, Mittekill and dj Samtboy
here some more info in german:
»Mitte gegen Rechts« ist eine Initiative von AnwohnerInnen und Gewerbetreibenden in der Rosa-Luxemburg-Straße, die sich als Reaktion auf das Geschäft »TØNSBERG«, das im Februar 2008 in der Rosa-Luxemburg-Straße eröffnet wurde, gegründet hat. »TØNSBERG« bietet eine große Produktbandbreite der Bekleidungsmarke »Thor Steinar« an – ein Modelabel, das offensichtlich unter Rechtsextremen beliebt ist und durch den Verfassungsschutz als »szenetypisches Erkennungs- sowie Abgrenzungsmerkmal« bezeichnet wird.
