Pretty crazy incident. Evidence of prior scouting, cutting fiber optic lines, flashlight signals, and ensuring no fingerprints were left behind.

There was also a similar attack in North Carolina last year.

    These attacks are puzzling. What does anyone get from attacking electricity infrastructure?

      This one I’m not sure, but the NC one was done by a far-right conspiracy believer. It’s also been done by some of the far-right militias that have popped up in the last decade.

      They do it because they think it’ll destabilize the country and start a civil war. One they want to win so they can inflict their ideology on everyone nationwide, whether it’s wanted or not.

        They’ve exhausted, or seemingly given up w/o trying, all democratic methods to employ their ideals so they’ve moved to terrorism.

          It turns out that extremism isn’t very popular. So fear is their only method.

      Very puzzling. I suppose anyone who wants to cause maximum chaos, or perhaps people with Ted Kaczynski like beliefs.
