    It feels so good to see countries not tolerating the far right. As a French, they’re basically everywhere now, everyone on talks like the Far Right on TV, now. My country has gotten so complacent with it…

    I hope Germany keeps doing this and more act accordingly.

      I fear your optimism ist unwarranted. The far right is attracting more and more voters here.

      The ones arrested are not the far right you see on TV. They are conspiracy nuts who want to return to the time Germany had an emperor. They planned a revolution and hoarded weapons.

      Probably wanted to regain the old empire’s territory as well, especially the regions belonging to France now…

        Have you seen American news? Were on the fast track to electing a guy who lead a coup and said he wanted to be a dictator

          I follow US news a little. You seem to be much further along on your way to abolish democracy. But to be fair, the “winner takes it all” voting mechanism and resulting two party system really helps in dividing a country.

          Also “hoarding weapons” seems to be an acceptable pasttime in the US.
