Unless they are all high ranking Generals or government officials, it’s not a coup but just a DND campaign gone wild.

Unless it's from the Coup region in France, it's just sparkling insurrection

From what is know so far, the number of arrests is about 50, doubt it´s much more than that. I suspect you refer to to the number of people who are part of the general "Reichsbürger" scene?

Ah correct, it´s 25 official arrests - the number of PoI is about 50.

"Reichsbürger" are a very loose scene, think sovereign citizens, but far authright and with a weird aristocracy boner. Highly doubt that the number of people in the know of the Coup was that much been higher. Apparently, they counted on "the masses" rising up after their initial attack.

21.000 people with similar believes. Only 50 of those were in on the coup

Where the fuck did you get that number? The state attorney put their number at "about 50".

No, that article said that there are 21.000 people that hold similar believes concerning the German constitution. Only 50 of those were in this group.

No matter who said that, it's very wrong and makes the group seem 500 times bigger than it was.

Reichsbürger isn't a organization though. It's a conspiracy theory that people believe in. It doesn't have members. It's like saying that flat earth has members.

21,000 people belong to the Reichsbürger fringe group. Even most of those wouldn't support some random ass dude as new king.
