German extremists are modeling their American counterparts
The Hill ^ | 12/12/2022 | TOM MOCKAITIS

The terrorist plot foiled by German security services makes abundantly clear that far-right extremism is not a uniquely American problem, but a pervasive threat to Western democracy.

In a series of raids across Germany, 3,000 members of law enforcement apprehended 25 people suspected of plotting a coup.

Eerily reminiscent of certain aspects of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. capitol, the plan called for storming the Bundestag (parliament), murdering the chancellor and seizing ministers.

The plotters are associated with the Reichsbűrger movement, an anti-government group with approximately 21,000 followers that denies the legitimacy of the Bundesrepublik Deutschland (Federal Republic of Germany). Like anti-government groups in the United States, the Reichsbűrgers resist what they consider government overreach. Some refuse to pay taxes and engage in other forms of civil disobedience.

Right, Germany has never been known for its extremism.

I’d call these inssane fantasy, but it’s not. It’s a deliberative false narrative to use as a vehicle for implementation of totalitarian measures.

Fake coup. Like Jan 6th.

The deep state are really flailing now. Trying to distract the Germans from the destruction of their own country.

“Tom has some industrial grade stupid going on in his brain.”
Your reply says it all.
“The Hill” is best lumped with the pantheon of their brother/sister/whatever collection of silly little people trying to magnify the disease of the day, ‘right-wing’ atrocity of the day, or their supporter base perversion of the day.

It's the other way around. Americans extremists have been modeling German extremists such as Merkel.

The modus operandi of the MSM.

The German “extremists” are apparently just people who love their country.

TBF Germany would be better off restoring its monarchy.

They’re building the narrative: any opposition to us is extremist terrorism.

Communists NEVER tolerate any opposition.

Yes...do they need 120 cops to arrest one person? No...it’s a vetting process.

The problem is what is meant by extremism.

In the USA the liberals mean any maga republican is an extremist.

In Germany likely extremists are people who don’t want the country to be over run by foreigners who will eventually outnumber and force them....this is something that is happening now in Great Britian. The brits are leaving and being replaced by massive inflows of foreigners from all the usual hell holes.

For that matter the USA is being invaded.

If you’re on this board —you’re likely an extremist and a far right extremist at that—by the re definitions of the left.

Please understand the language games the leftist play.

Oh, the old far-right wing terrorist chestnut.

BML and ANTIFA are far-left terrorists, that is true. But other than the Charlotteville incident, name of one far right terrorist incident is the US. It is a left-wing construct to create fear.
