Oops, should have captioned - recent PEGIDA (Patriotische Europäer gegen die Islamisierung des Abendlandes) rally in Germany after the Charlie Hebdo attacks. It's a movement originating from Dresden but rallies of similar size took place in Munich, Berlin, Hamburg, and Cologne as well.
Demonstrations in Germany offer the most telling clues as to where Europe's center stands - it's ground zero for post-war guilt, with the weakest sense of nationalism. When 40 and 50 year old Germans with Bachelor degrees (the most common profile of PEGIDA demonstrators) take to the streets against another culture, you know the EU's collective conscience is changing.
Why would you think 40-50 year old men are a bellweather for German society?
These are already "old men" becoming more conservative as over their lives they have seen what has been taken from them. They are chided as Nazis in the media, they are terribly uncool, untrendy.
Just because some feeble conservative opposition is allowed to march peacefully, just because the German Flag is not yet banned as hateful, does not mean that anything will reverse.
What actual signs are there of Germany "taking its country back"? I think anyone hoping for the islamization of Europe to stop is honestly just being unrealistic. It isn't stopping, they will continue coming, the West no longer stops these sorts of things.
