The news of the arrest of the famous chef from Kitzbühel went around the world: together with a group of Reichsburgers from Germany, he allegedly planned the political overthrow. In Austria, about 4,000 people belong to the group of state objectors. The causes go way back: a search for clues between the protection of the constitution and gross conspiracy theories.
They call themselves state objectors, sovereignists, self-rulers, citizens of the Reich or “free man on land”. Most terms have their origin in the US (Sovereign Citizens) – and there in connection with armed “militia” troops or militant preppers. The latter are people preparing for a blackout or even the end of the world and entrenching themselves. But the troops have a lowest common denominator.
