[Phil1111 1,149]

For the second time in a year Germany has had to raid far right groups wanting to overthrow the government. At least 25 were arrested overnight. They had plans for their own January 6th style attack on the German parliament. Earlier this year other raids were conducted.

"The group’s plans included an armed attack on the German Parliament building, known as the Reichstag" a Russian link is being investigated. "The prosecutors described the group, which they did not identify, as being influenced by the ideologies of the conspiracy group QAnon and a right-wing German conspiracy group called the Reichsbürger, or Citizens of the Reich, which believes that Germany’s post-World War II republic is not a sovereign country but a corporation set up by the victorious Allies."

The danger of the far right in western democracies can't be underestimated. Especially in the US where attacks on Governors(Michigan) the January 6th attack. Have had to deal with stonewalling by a major party.
