If you're gonna do a coup, go through with it. Don't do a Prigozhin. You're probably gonna end up being killed or arrested, so you may as well go full on.

These people are such dummies. Completely hollow headed.

you need ideological commitment from the coup doers or the general populace. You also need a degree of social change\degradation to legitimate the commitment. Finally, you need to accept sacrifice during the process.

Nowadays, mass movements are difficult to come by because people are too atomized and have too much to lose. The irony is the only real change can only come when you are ready to give away your current condition and start dreaming.
