C. J. Hopkins lives in Berlin and is an award-winning playwright, novelist, and political satirist. On Wednesday, the 26th of November 2025, the police knocked on his door in Berlin, to search his apartment. They had a search warrant. The reason? His book "The Rise of the New Normal Reich: Consent Factory Essays, Vol. III (2020–2021)", which critiques the Covid era's authoritarianism.
As the title suggests, it compares the Covid era's draconian political response to Covid with how the Nazis used emergency laws by employing fear as a weapon in service of despotic aims. Hopkins' book also has a cover that depicts a Nazi cross visibly covered by a Covid mask. Again, this is part of the metaphor or allusion the title conveys.
The German authorities, in a move divorced from Reason, think that Hopkins' damning critique of authoritarianism is an endorsement of authoritarianism. So, they are now seeking to ban the book by charging Hopkins with breaching the German law that forbids the use of symbols inimical to the constitution. This law, however, only applies if someone displays such symbols in a way that supports the ideology the banned symbols embody. Hopkins, of course, did the precise opposite off endorsing the Nazi cross.
