(yes I know Reich is cognate with Richy - but it's also the root of English rich so it just sounds funny in our language, especially with how we use Burger. I wonder if Germans think of eating people or citizens when we talk about eating burgers).
I took that as EE admitting that there was no doubt.
Right wing extremism is one thing, but I haven't heard of a "return to former monarchy" plot in quite a long time. Most neo-fascists have no ties to existing nobility and want to employ some sort of race/religious based class system as their milieu instead.

Germany has a serious problem with far-right extremism, but at least they're taking it somewhat seriously too.
A couple of years ago they had to disband an elite KSK special forces company due to them being essentially all fascists, nazi's or other far-right extremists. Far-right extremists in the military have also been suspected/known to be providing German fascists with pretty serious military grade weapons and equipment, which keeps turning up in various raids and arrests relating to far-right activity. That 2020 investigation turned up more than 500 individuals with far-right connections in the military, and plenty of evidence that those extremists (or suspected extremists) weren't isolated, but had formed their own networks within the military.
One of the people arrested in this new raid was also working in KSK.

Seriously, name one "Far-left" extreme threat left on earth. China is not anything close to a far-left nation as traditionally understood, instead being some sort of oligarchy masquerading as communism.
How many more attempts to overthrow democratically elected governments do you need to see before coming around?
You make it sound like they actually had a chance to overthrow the government. I said no because I found the poster's statement extreme in itself as the world has far larger issues on its plate.

Except he asked if there was any doubt in what he was suggesting and you said “no” so you actually said the opposite of what you intended.
