I just got an invitation to a demonstration in Berlin, about Afghanistan or fully up to date with the promised troop increase by Germany. I read; all right so far - but something bothered me about the text ...
I have not restarted the feeling that an overly zealous grammatical gender correctness, as applied particularly grotesque in this call, the contents into the background, so this may even counteract.
One could get the impression that it is the authors more a demonstration of gender correctness (a sub-division of political correctness), as to the great goal "peace".
I put it on the Left in general, and in addition, more and more a stereotyped pettiness and korinthenköttelnde philistinism determined that conveys a sense of claustrophobic narrowness. Yes, I even have the feeling that this particular form of "Gutschreibs" is the thinking and precise formulation detrimental.
So it goes in the Afghanistan war and not "xenophobia" (a template vocabulary: the war in Afghanistan is not even out in the country), but it is about misanthropy. Kill and I destroy another human life, so I kill what connects me with all the people: the human in me. It follows that the war in customary and required enmity ultimately directed against both sides against "friend" and "enemy".
I have attached below the red supplementary marker. If already gendern - then change right! And after the correction then, freed from gender-free spirit calling, as I would write it ...

Fellow students,
at 20:02. the Federal Government will apply in the Bundestag, the German troops to increase by 850 soldiers inside, continuing its policy of escalation and militarization in Afghanistan. Us and them must be clear: the more military presence in Afghanistan shows the Bundeswehr and the more often it like in Kunduz offensive force of German soldiers inside starts, the more militant resistance against the occupation in Afghanistan increase. im Schnellverfahren nichts nützen. In this case, the mass training of soldiers and policewomen inside fast track will not help.
mehr!* Das Leben deutscher BügerInnen darf nie wieder gegen das von ZivilistInnen, SoldatInnen und Widerstandskämpfern Innen ausgespielt werden. Therefore we say: * No (s) Soldier In more * Life German BügerInnen must never be played again against that of civilians, soldiers and resistance fighters inside!. In the state of war thrive social injustice, poverty and xenophobia. Therefore we call on, on 20.2. to wear your distaste for the war effort on the road and thus to show the members of parliament, as they would have to decide if it really were up to us. Let's show that the protest against the war is an important part of the student movement still and can be linked with other important issues for us as the student strike, crisis protests and criticism of globalization us!

Now (with due respect) my version:
Fellow students! Berlin! Compatriots!
On 20 February, the federal government will apply in the Bundestag, the German troops to increase by 850 soldiers, continuing its policy of escalation and militarization in Afghanistan.
We must understand that the more military presence shows the Bundeswehr in Afghanistan and the more often the process as in Kunduz, German soldiers offensive combat operations are ordered, the more militant resistance against the occupation in Afghanistan increase. In contrast, the mass training of soldiers and police in a high speed will not help.
That's why we say: No more soldiers! The life of German soldiers must not be played off against the Afghans, who have every right to rid their country of foreign troops.
More troops for more war not solve problems but also create hundreds of thousands of times suffering, death and destruction. Survivors of slain Afghans, widows orphans, traumatized, crippled, maimed and displaced people become enemies foreign soldiers. So can not achieve more security.
More troops - that is the wrong message! The need of the hour is: Remove the troops and put more and more civilian reconstruction workers!
War does not solve any problem. War is THE problem.
More war for more peace - this is THE quintessential lie.
Therefore we call on, on 20.2. to wear your distaste for the war effort on the road and thus to show the members of parliament, as they would have to decide if it really were up to us.
Let's show that the protest against the war is a major concern of the student movement and is linked to other important issues for us as the student strike, crisis protests and criticism of globalization us!

The peace movement and peace demos: against war always liked! But then please take a stand against ALL wars (not as if it verwerflichere and nobler wars there). Preparations for war against Iran and Venezuela are all too happy to ignore, if not supported. Gaza must remain on the agenda, of course, Iraq, Pakistan, uranium ammunition ...
Thank you for pointing out a really good article! Greetings!
hey,
civil construction helper. which bring you much when they are bombed away without defense against, the best yet in civil, unarmored vehicles? that makes about as much sense as not shooting at armed afghans.
Terrorgie
Once understood uns`re Ancestry
quite well with the Afghans.
Could we heut` still dare
to take them into friendship?
If we do not get too mixed up,
caught in the devil's plan?
Pretending it is allowed
this exceedingly
insidious wrong game.
Sometime it is too much ...
Then the last one is clear,
what was spoiled it.
