2022 German coup d’état plot

In December 2022, German authorities foiled a far-right coup attempt orchestrated by members of the Reichsbürger (Citizens of the Reich) movement, a group that denies the legitimacy of modern Germany and seeks to restore the German Empire. The plot involved plans to overthrow the federal government, storm the Bundestag (parliament), and install Heinrich XIII Prince Reuss, a descendant of the former German aristocracy, as the new head of state. The conspirators envisioned a monarchist government modeled on the pre-World War I German Reich

I do understand this. Being grabbed by a woman who repeatedly yells that she wants money, or the guy who says he just wants some money to eat, so you give him some spare change and then that act in itself invites him to single you out of a crowd every single time until you learn to just not walk that route anymore.

My sympathy for them is there, but it definitely needs a grace period to recharge. I wish the world housed and fed people better so that their endless suffering didn’t spill out and overwhelm my limited capacity for it. I know how selfish that sounds.

I guess I didn’t really understand what a masochist actually meant, as I attached some kind of sadist connotation to it, when it’s just a pain-related kink. Thanks for the extra context, and I will try to update my understanding

To be fair, I understand his confusion.

You guys voted in a rapist felon along with his billionaire buddies, and now you want the opposite? Did you not understand your vote?

This raises the good question of whether masochists need consent in some situations

Edit: from the severe negative feedback, I presume then that user pzzzt has legitimate cause to feel attacked, and that user Kevo is false in their presumption that this is a good thing for them. Or we might all be overreacting to some risqué banter. Real thinker.

It made the other parishners feel really awkward

Aren’t the US still friends with Japan? Or at least doesn’t needlessly dunk on them?

People need to watch the Historia Civilis’ July Revolution of 1820 to 1830.

History sure does look a lot similar

Forcing help on someone who doesn’t want it will always end badly. I’m with OP on this one, as someone who has been on both sides

It reads way better in German, and by that I mean that the boringness of it feels more like a bleak anti-joke observational humour comedy bit.

Well thanks for the warning, and I’ll keep my eyes sharp for anything heading my way!
