What is it with far right nutters trying to destroy the grid? What are they getting out of it?
I read something, after someone shot up that substation in North Carolina, stating that you'd only have to severely damage some absurdly low amount of power substations to completely kill the US power grid. I'm pretty sure the number was single digits and could be accomplished with available small arms. So it's a feasible attack on unprotected infrastructure that could be accomplished with a pretty small force and isn't really subject to time constraints or anything.
As far as end goal, idk I guess once the power utilities and Internet are down we'll all have a racewar or something and the Nazis would win. I'm not too sure even they are positive about that part.
Might just be something to do. It'd be a pretty significant historical event.
They're itching to tap into their 500 gallons of Prepper's Milk and Jerky stew. They want their larping to be real so hard. It pairs well with the religious nutters that think by killing others, they'll be allowed in Their God's Heaven. It's mind-boggling.
