It is widely understood in the white supremacy community that this would happen. But they are a bunch of fucking dipshits.

Molly Conger has an excellent podcast that highlights people like this called “Weird Little Guys”. This tactic is mentioned in like 50% of episodes.

This is a weirdly commonly held belief among far right accelerationists. They think that the race war is inevitable, and if there is enough social disruption, social order will break down, people will turn to the militias, and guess who runs the militias?

The US electrical grid is shockingly vulnerable. Transfer stations can be disabled from a distance by rifle fire. There is no practical way to guard or physically secure every single one. A disabled transfer station has the potential to cause a cascade failure that could cause catastrophic failure of the grid. The USA has just three grids, Eastern, Western, and Texas. So terrorists have figured that attacking the power grid is the easiest way to cause maximum disruption with a single bullet.

The thing is, each of the grids has failed in the past, and while there was some disruption for a couple days, there has never been a social breakdown. The other thing is that the dummies who plan these attacks keep getting caught before they can do any damage.

We don’t know why someone hit Metcalf and that was over a decade ago.

Reposting a comment from a few months ago:

Was just worrying if we were due for one of these:

Over the course of 19 minutes, about one hundred bullets caused $15 million dollars in damage to our power grid, damaging components that take months to manufacture: 2013’s Metcalf sniper attack near San Jose, California

If terrorists were testing our response time or something, they would’ve acted on a large scale by now right? I kinda need to always be able to charge my PC/phone soooo

She's an underpants gnome LOL

Power goes out, people start doing dumb things for profit or survival, people get wronged by those actions and respond with violence, violence begets violence, fear grows, paranoia grows, violence becomes more likely with less provocation, welcome the lord of the flies to the concrete jungle.

The national guard would get called in and martial law would happen before the tribal wars could really kick off but there would be racially motivated violence all the same, as is tradition.

Given how the crazies are going at the moment I'll try and fill in some of the gaps

1. Destroy power substations
2. Eat the cats, eat the dogs
3. Grift through a GoFundMe
4. ???
5. Race war!

“Man I hate being without power. You know what else people hate… other races!”

There's not much to it. They simply believe that as the strife causes conflict over resources the factions will "naturally" align along racial lines. They also believe that people "naturally" cohabitate better within their own race.

This does require ignoring all of human history and the brutal conflicts that have occurred within racially homogenous regions. But I'd never accuse white supremacists of being intelligent or genuine.

Oddly enough she will have 18 years of daily race war inside jail as american inmates split along racial lines

Those people aren't the sharpest tools in the shed. No point trying to find out what "logic" they were trying to follow. There is none.

Yea, I've thought about what I'd do to my neighbor, but we have power for now so I won't. Power better not go out though.

They all read a shitty fiction book (The Turner Diaries; you can download a pdf for free; please don't buy it because it contributes profits to racism) in which that's a part of the plot leading to societal collapse. Timmy McVeigh (OK City bomber) had a copy in his car when he got arrested.

Part of the requirements for being racist is being stupid

It's a terrible plan, to be sure. I bet their thinking was something along the lines of creating an environment suitable for looting/rioting, along with police brutality to follow, all in the hopes that racial tensions in the region play out in their favor.

Of course, they completely ignored how things went when hurricane Irene knocked out power to the region. Spoiler alert: it wasn't fun but folks were generally okay.

they are one bad day from snapping and going full KKK and they're all deluding themselves into thinking everyone else is the same way

Too much TV and not enough non-white people in their life

The didn't consult the underpants gnomes.

FTFY

Checking this out based on your epic summary alone.

Ooo I know:

Evolutionary speaking, it makes sense to compete within your own species when times are good, cause there is no threat to the survival of the entire group.

Conversely, when times are bad and the entire species is threatened, it’s best to cooperate as much as possible instead of compete.

Idk, man. There's a ton of deranged supremacists in federal prison and I'd imagine she'd be welcome within their ranks with open arms given the gravity of the conviction and previous charges. As much as I'd also like these people to have a really poor time in prison, even by the already shitty prison standards, the best we could expect for the public is just to keep these slugs away from any and all people and resources they could use to do this again. Our county is in a desperately poor state.

Edit: typos

Nah, people like this get picked up by the jail white supremacy gangs pretty early. She's gonna become a bigger racist in there

More fun to make her worse.

Complete failure of her family and support system.

They likely consider this a tremendous success

Now she’s a martyr to them
