Here's the kind of coverage it is getting. The Independent is using it to shill for more censorship. Maybe this is what this is what this situation is really being used to showcase. Bastards.
In a wider context the mainstream media is linking this to Qanon (probably little link), the far right, "conspiracy theories" and so on. Not to mention Old Man Moustache.Germany ‘coup plot’ shows conspiracy theories are a real-world threat
Why would Germans need "conspiracy theories" to provoke a strong reaction when reality has been so harsh? In the past five years, they have seen many people's livelihoods and mental health destroyed by harsh lockdowns, so called "vaccine passports" being forced through for every aspect of life, widespread censorship in the media (which this very event is being used to encourage), astronomical fuel bills due to the Ukrainian situation, open door immigration (as opposed to moderate, filtered migration) and so on. Most of that is verifiable without going to dangerous fringe outlets.
I'm not saying I agree with what they've done or even all of their arguments, but this seems to be the German equivalent of the raid on US capitol.
