I didn’t mean that 150.000 is impossible. I meant that 150.000 is not hundreds of thousands. That would only start at a full multiple of 100.000. But as I also wrote below by now, its probably not as important as I took it in my first comment

I am from Europe and know the Netherlands well. Even if all is close by, the number was a bit to big. And looking at other news outlets, it was. Not even the organisers say that number.

Why bring America to the discussion, if its about a protest in Europe about a war in Asia?

They all say 150.000 which is tens of thousands and not hundreds of thounds. Its an impressive number no need to pretend its more. That just makes the news outlet look bad

I really question the hundreds of thousands, in a city of half a million of people - that would mean that half of the city. Thats definitely fake news. Even in the picture if the article it says suddenly tens of thousands. Sounds all a bit fish tbh

Sorry,I just understood it different and wanted to clarify. I didn’t mean to contradict you!

It can’t trigger the NATO treaty, as neither Israel nor Iran are NATO members

Absolutely! Yes, and the Amaroks etc. are seen on the street much less than pick-up trucks in the USA. But I also think, we have to make sure it doesn’t happen here

Your graphics show how it is different. The big groups B-SUV and C-SUV are much smaller than a Cybertruck or F-150 (the most sold car in the US). I am not 100% sure, but I think they would probably either be in D-SUV or even uncategorised in this statistics

A lot of that is absolutely also my opinion. But the slippery slope argument, that it will be worse in 5 years, I don’t believe. There is no reason for them to become a radical-right party. Just because we don’t like their policies, doesn’t mean they are the same as the fascist parties. There is still a clear distinction between parties with shit policies, but in the democratic spectrum and literal fascists.
