The first chapter of the black-and-white PDF magazine begins with an ominous warning. Over four dense pages, the anonymous writers paint a picture of “an anti-tech revolution, beginning with the annihilation of the U.S. energy grid.”
Is this a “Fringe” episode? It sounds familiar.
I agree but, their methods are dangerous
“Accelerationists believe that there is nothing redeemable about contemporary society,”
Excellent reporting and glad to see that the reporter (@hunterw) includes this: some white nationalists are accelerationist but not all Accelerationists are white nationalists; philosophy of despair, cynical nihilism, or white fever dream, it provides all a rationale for incendiary action.
The incels.
While there are myriad risks to power stations, relatively simple shooting attacks from far-right white supremacist terrorists have emerged as a major threat to the grid.
AKA “White Wingers” (not the dove, Zenaida asiatica)
It’s notable that the terrorist right would adopt the writings of ‘Uncle Ted’ who was nominally coming from an so-called eco-terrorist left ideology, while there is little remaining of that movement post the ALF/ELF arsons of the late 90s and early aughts.
ETA Great reporting by Hunter Walker
I believe in change through popcorn.
No wonder these boneheads want the FBI defunded.
A bunch of “True Patriots”, in their own tiny little brains, anyway.
Perhaps a nice island for exile. Attu seems to have the proper vibe.
I’m sure the FBI has infiltrated these groups a long time ago and most of them are similar to the dim bulbs who planned to kidnap Whitmer a year or so ago.
Zero of the last 43 race wars have been triggered by these brainiacs.
I take it you’ve never been hit in the eye with a hot ballistic kernel!
Even if one thinks there is nothing redeemable about contemporary society, taking down power stations in winter isn’t going to bring on “The Race War”. It’s just going to put ya on the Most Wanted list
Nothing? This is where my reputation as a cynic falls apart. Because I keep coming back to, “it’s broken, but it’s our job to fix it.” It’s a task that never ends, because there will always be people who are happier destroying than building or fixing.
I agree there’s a great deal that is irredeemable, but probably most of the people involved in that movement like the things I’m repelled by.
OT but y‘all gotta see this!
One of the properties was a house that Corrupt Clarabelle‘s mother was still living in, i.e., Crow was Mama‘s landlord. Clarabelle musta really needed the dough for something!
There’s a new post about that
Thx, probably crossed time-wise, didn‘t see it when I came back!
So if these terrorists try to take out the power grid you could just power your residence with the Elon Musk home power pod. If I were a conspiracy theorist I’d say that he was paying them.
Meanwhile…
In FloriDUH
Ron forgets to get the endorsement of his home state, before he even declares.
Jesus. Why can’t Dems in Florida shut this idiot down?
