That’s insane, but can such a thing happen? Isn’t Germany strong enough institutions wise that it’s kinda like the US where even if they did storm ‘parliament’ they’d just be taking over one building while the rest of the country mobilized to stop them? How do you even pull off a coup in such a federalized country?

Ok even if they pull off this ‘coup’ attempt, they’d be like two dozen guys in a single building who would be like ‘now what’ as the rest of the German government brings out the GSG to wipe them out. You would need the entire German military to back the coup for it to succeed.

Reminds me of fantasy novel Interesting Times by Terry Pratchett, wherein an old-rear end Conan The Barbarian variant breaks into the throne room of an ancient empire with his gang and claims he rules the empire now. When people overcome their initial confusion and gather an army to drive them out, the army refuses to fight because all the soldiers know what happens when a small group is up against insurmountable odds. I think in the end they pay the barbarians to leave.

They theoretically had the right idea, they had soldiers from the KSK, some AfD dude, some cops or sth? But all of these were just in single digit numbers so yeah it wouldn't have worked. But it's good that this got taken out and some bougie fash had to perpwalk in front of the cameras and had their houses tossed by the filth etc. Maybe it'll make the next crop think twice for a couple years before starting to organize again.

Not good but not as bad as the funny picture on Twitter makes it out to be. All depends on if the Berlin senate knew what they were funding, see bolded part in quote below
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmut_Kentler

quote:

At the end of the 1960s, in a model experiment, he placed several neglected 13 to 15-year-old boys, whom he considered "secondary mental defectives", with pedophiles he knew, claiming that this would reintegrate them into society and to allow them to grow into mature adults.[9] Due to the criminal offense associated with it, he made this public only after its statute of limitations had expired more than a decade later.

I wonder, was he talking about the kids or the pedophiles when talking about "reintegration into society"?

Actually, modern Apfelgeräte specifically have the setting for receiving test broadcasts turned off by default and did not get the warning. They would have recieved a real warning tho.

My modern trustworthy chinese phone made a sound that woke up wild life in a kilometer radius because I was outside taking a walk.

At least this way I learned that my Blackview-phone has an active AMBLER-alert in case of kid kidnapping. I guess I better get myself a gun, just in case I receive an alarm about a kid-napping in progress close by.

Edit:

Test-broadcasts were the only alert setting on off, but my colleagues are very convinced the alert should have come as a real alert, not a "monthly test warning", so who the gently caress knows?

Another fun-fact: Vodafone users received Anleitungen on how to prepare their phones for the WARNING, while I of course, wouldn't even be aware of any strange things going on if it weren't for one of my colleagues being super-prepared

I don't listen to radio, and I look at the HAZ Online maybe once a month, so a lot of local stuff walks straight past me. It's a constant source of amusement for me that I know more about what's going on in Bavaria than my local state, just because I'm not consuming media the way the media establishment thinks is correct.

BBK tweeted that the warning was sent on the highest priority state and NOT as a test warning, so this setting should not have affected it. So if your Apfelgerät didn't cry you will die when Putin's tanks roll in!

Interesting, I’m Telekom too and I didn’t get anything and assumed it was because my iOS wasn’t fully up to date - but I did get an advance warning by SMS a week or so ago.

I got the warning in my Funkloch of a village. My colleagues in the office with work iphones didn't even though there is 5G coverage there. However, we are currently working on a Chinese contract, so I am assuming our Habaerbeck human rights duumvirate made sure none of our work phones would get any alarms
