The account “Fridays for Future Schilda” has existed on Twitter since 2017, but it hasn't really been particularly noticeable so far, which may be because older tweets cannot be found.
Since the end of March, however, there has been a lot of writing there... and provocation. In addition to normal retweets from the real FFF organization, the main topic seems to be “toxic masculinity of cis men”, a more feminist topic that FFF has little to do with. And in fact, this is not a real FFF account.

The provocation

On March 25th, the account “awakened” again and immediately announced that, in addition to climate protection, it was also about “racism, neoliberalism and the patriarchy”;

After a few rather inconsequential tweets and retweets, some of which were only slightly provocative, then came the excitement: a tweet that was directed against fitness studios. The tweet is no longer visible, the reaction from “Fridays for Future Schilda” is partly no longer visible in Germany, so here as a screenshot:

MIMIKAMA
The rather dubious reaction on Twitter

“Fridays for Future Schilda” is of the opinion that it is mainly “ cis men ” who train in fitness studios, that they “radicalize” there and that such studios are therefore a “ breeding ground for neoliberal chauvinists like Putin or Trump ”, which is why the studios employ social workers teach men elements of meditation or theater education instead of “ sexist courses such as stomach, legs, buttocks

Not a real Fridays for Future account

Many Twitter users have the right instinct: the comments on the tweets point out more than once that the account is definitely a satire; the account's statements are too radical and one-sided to seem real. Since exactly at the time the account became active, there was also excitement about the musician Ronja Maltzahn, who was not allowed to perform at an FFF event because of her dreads , the tweets from the Schilda account received even more attention.

By the way, there is no local branch of Schilda (see HERE ), but the small town of Schilda in Brandenburg only has 435 inhabitants . Due to the behavior of the false Schilda account on Twitter, it can be assumed that this is alluding to the fictional Schilda and its residents, who are called Schildbürger, who deliberately acted stupid.

Nevertheless, we made a request to Fridays for Future, because there may be a Schilda local group that just isn't listed on the homepage yet. However, the answer is clear:

MIMIKAMA
The answer from Fridays for Future

“At Fridays For Future there is no Schilda local group that we know of (there is only the town of Schilda in Brandenburg with 430 inhabitants).
Since the Schildbürger also live in the fictional Schilda and no one knows the local group or people behind the account, it can be assumed that it is a joke account.”

Conclusion

The Twitter account “Fridays for Future Schilda” is not a real account of the FFF movement, but a joke account that uses the name to deliberately provoke. There is no connection to the real movement.
