Every single one of these "scoops" carries the narrative "the authorities / the police / people who don't share our opinion collaborate with or are nazis"; laying the mental foundation for further G20 type riots and their self-justification. This narrative is getting quite old for most people these days, even though most support non-violent anti-neonazi and anti-extremist organizations.

Outlets like indymedia and the notorious local establishments appear to be more interested in searching in their local neighbourhood politics for justification to riot than in novel kinds of extremist or outright fascist movements developing on a global scale. This makes it a bit difficult to believe their self-proclaimed goals.

any evidence for that first charge there? There have been some well documented collusion between elements of the police and far right wing types in Germany. AfD is also winning local elections there.
