This vile Qanon vomit has spread to other democratic nations. My guess: Russia, China, N. Korea, and Iran are all players in the Qanon lies.

So now we can add mental illness to our list of fine exports.

I am not totally dismayed. At least we are not alone in fighting loonies.

Germany Arrests Dozens Suspected of Planning to Overthrow Government

Interesting. I thought it was tradition in Germany to plan and foment coups and insurrections from beer halls. But after reading the linked article, I noticed this part:

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 Allies who won the war.

Reichsburger. So, a burger place and not a beer hall. No more Big Macs in Germany. It'll be Reichsburger, where you can't have it your way.

I'm glad they've been arrested at least. I'm used to seeing these stories when it's just one crazy guy in his basement. But 25 people? That's quite a conspiracy.

Qanon, the Resist movement and the fake Russian collusion conspiracy, all the same way of thinking.

How would they "overthrow" the government? By assassinating some people and/or by occupying a building, and then just expect everyone to simply roll with it?

I've always thought Qanon was stupid along with flat earthers and hecklers.

I'd say that the quality of German and other intelligencecollecting units, who collect data and can nip these groups in the bud, are doing a bang up job.
Planetary game of Whack a Mole. Or Whack a Quack.
I'm glad someone is on top of this nonsense.

There are very few details in the article. What does "influenced by" even mean? The article says the individuals were aligned with the domestic German Reichsbürger. Tying it to QAnon looks more like click bait than substance.

My bet is that the suspects have probably posted QAnon stuff on their social media accounts. I don't know much about this Reichsburger movement, but like QAnon, it appears to be far right, antisemitic, conspiratorial, etc. So that fans of one would be fans of the other seems quite plausible.

When you have bought all the conspiracy theories they have, you are pretty delusional. Assuming such an attack would work is then just par for the course.

A QAnon connection isn't reported in German media. If there is one, it is minor. My guess is, it is just a comparison to a better known group.

See Washington, Jan 6th 2020, for an example. More than 25 people there obviously, but the principle is the same.

Yet you trust Qbelievers to lead government?

I really can't decide how to address that one. But either way it would probably get me an informal warning so I'll just let you think about it.

I am sure you are capable of using a dictionary (or just googling a word like most other people).

I am not sure what you are getting on about. I was merely expressing that what we have here in the US appears to be contagious. And that is not a good thing.
