She probably thinks electricity is a jewish invention made to control brainwaves or something like that
If she doesn’t like people of color or Jewish folks what the fuck is she doing in Baltimore?
The rationality of your question is a completely foreign abstraction to her.
I think a lot of rational things are completely foreign abstractions to her. And I think that her response to foreign abstractions, much like foreign people is not to pursue understanding but to lash out
I hope you meant "much like with foreign people" and don't actually mean to say that foreign people don't pursue understanding and instead lash out.
This has tended to be my experience on the occasions where I come into contact with those such as her, and I’m often grateful that I don’t share those views.
Given my family’s history with such views, it might have been possible for me to espouse ideologies such as what she demonstrates, but I just couldn’t accept that kind of maltreatment of other human beings. So I left.
This really isn't a joke. These people are all over, and this isn't the only attack on the power grid lately. They don't think the power grid is evil, it's only a plan to destabilize the nation and create a civil war, which they want to use to being in a fascist government.
It’s absolutely not a joke.
They’re more than inconveniencing people or causing damage and expensive repairs, they’re killing people.
The death of a woman that occurred after firearm attacks on power substations caused a massive power outage last year has been ruled a homicide, newly released autopsy records show.
I wouldn't worry about it, these people are not smart. Being all over doesn't mean they're well organized or largely grouped. Most neo nazis are just shit talking teens on discord. Animals mindlessy attacking power grids is laughable to the american government. America has countless power grids anyways.
I'd worry about it when hospitals and other critical infrastructure use electricity.
Frankly they should make an example of this vapid fuck and anyone who was working with her.
A political science class I attended in the early 2000s focused on terrorism, and the professor described power grids as being a pretty big target in general, but especially for right wing hate groups.
This has always been part of the plan for the Turner Diaries militia weirdos.
Unfortunately it is an easy target. Right wing out in rural areas aren't quite as reliant on electricity (in the short term), so it hurts the city liberals thing.
