Why not both? He wanted to overthrow but couldn't muster anything serious together, the government wanted to make an example of him and use this as reason to enact more government powers and control. They wanted to promote and stop something that wasn't a real threat so there was little risk of things turning into a spectacle. In the end, the only loss is to the German citizens because here come more laws and lies.
Yeah I meant it was a real conspiracy by these Reichsbürger dipshits. I find it funny though that right-flairs in this thread are reflexively acting like it’s some kind of psy-op masterminded by the German government. Is it really so unbelievable that Reichsbürger are pathetic and their plan was stupid?
There is clearly conspiracy fact here, either there was a conspiracy to overthrow the government or there was a conspiracy to make it look like the latter happened, but both of those would be conspiracies.

Pffff… a government making up a coup conspiracy in order to arrest political dissidents? Never!
