re: "Germany foils bizarre coup plot by far-right group" (BP, December 8, 2022)
Dear editor,
Who would have thought that a right royal prince, Prince Heinrich XIII Reuss himself no less and wrapped in all his famous benevolence and righteousness, would be involved in a violent plot to commit a coup against his own nation's popular form of democratic government. Could such antique evils yet happen in the 21st century?
That such an effort to overthrew the rule of law is right wing, regressive and violent need hardly be said, those being the defining characteristics of such conspiracies against justice. Had those enemies of the German people succeeded, they would presumably have also followed the hallowed precedent of promptly criminalizing saying anything rudely honest, however peacefully, about themselves or their newly installed and incontestably universally beloved father-in-law of the nation.
