I think, this is a very good and Christian way to celebrate the Holy Night, which has in Germany a slightly more imortant meaning than in the anglo-space - it is so-to-say boxing day too.

Bunte online, the German tabloid, reports:

There was a little demonstration near the premises of the Thurn und Taxis. Slogan: "Down with the wannabe Nobility!"

The activists from the youth organization of the German labour unions demanded to take away the property of the Thurn and Taxis as well.

The reason: Gloria von Thurn und Taxis, mother of the actual Prince, has visited the shady internet presence of a shady moderator and former editor in chief of the equally shady daily BILD. And there she spoke out about gay folks. I will not cite her - heavy trigger warning!

What sticks with me is not only, that Gloria seems to radicalize in a strange way while becoming older.

I feel equally strange, seeing that the activists not only demand to take her right of freedom of speech away, but the property of the Thurn und Taxis as well.

The Germans: The don't have that much interest in freedom of speech and in democracy, which can't work without it, and in private property neither.

In days like these, this is a bit frightning!

Yes, times are frightening when it comes to free speech and controversial discussions in our country.There were and always will be controversial opinions about everything. But with "woke" and "culture cancelling" much has changed for the worse. Some people don't even dare to say their opinion being afraid that they might be judged "in the wrong way".

You might remember that Gloria is quite an outgoing and sometimes garrulous person who does't think before she says things in public.

She is not the intellectual or clever person such as many politicians are.

She always says what she believes. It is not the first time that she caused a scandal.

Do you remember her remarks about "Die Afrikaner schnackeln eben gerne" ( translated: Africans like to have a lot of sex that is why they have so many kids"). That caused a bit of a scandal in the tabloids, but was very soon forgotten. Many people don't take her seriously.

I hate it when they let her talk on TV about other royals, for me it is always a desaster. There are more better informed and more eloquent moderators about royalty (such as Leontine von Schmettow) when it comes to moderating big royal events.

The fact that people all of a sudden have seen a target in her instead of pushing it away as a random note (garrulous old noble rich woman who wants to be in the media) is a bit frightening, I agree.

But as things have developed here I am not much surprised.

Well, yeah! But let us say, she has a message, she wants to get through - It might be too late already and she might have died the social death...

I mean, I could give her that: She is a staunch catholic and her beloved church is heavily damaged by sex scandals. So, she is angry and she speaks out...

But from a Lady of her standing can be expected, that she dances on the thin rope over the abyss of political correctness absolutely flawlessly, like an American late night show host!
