Well, Germany even has officially recognized the genocide, as a genocide. I know which people profit from the war. It's Putin, and the Iran leaders. But there you have a chance to go to prison to talk openly, also if Trump wins he would properly stop aid to Ukraine, which is a war with killing people too. It's hypocritical.

Not just recognized, but:

The agreement meets the three demands that Namibia made in the negotiations with Germany:

The recognition of the crimes against the Herero and Nama as genocide,
an apology from the German state and a request for forgiveness from the Namibian state and the descendants of the victims
Compensation payments.

We are peacfully fighting back on the streets right now. Anti-AfD Demonstration in Bonn as an example: https://streamable.com/0c1869 but the demonstrations were country wide and will continue.
