The following submission statement was provided by /u/Creepyfaction:

"Now people are breaking. In the past week alone folks have shot at the home of a city councilor who voted for a data center, thrown a molotov at the residence of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, and burned down a warehouse that contained $500 million worth of toilet paper, reportedly. Multiple other warehouse and industrial fires have taken place over the last few days. What not long ago seemed like an exceedingly rare act, the isolated, class-motivated attack, symbolized for the last year by Luigi Mangione, suddenly appears much more common.

What’s happening right now is that a vague sense of dissatisfaction, a simmering anger at a declining quality of life, is morphing into class politics for millions of Americans. Big Tech and Donald Trump are providing people with clear enemies, clarifying raw anger and dissatisfaction into a clearer picture of a ruling class that is out to exploit us and which must be defeated. A broad cross-section of the disaffected have been pushed to a breaking point, and while a few are lashing out with acts of violence, millions more are ready for revolutionary change."

In the past few days, there's been an uptick of arson and attacks targeting the ruling class or corporations. Perhaps the dissatisfaction that has been brewing for a while now may erupt into something with potential. The War in the Middle East is sharply driving up the cost of living and has made the status quo untenable and as it goes, the center cannot hold. The insistence on austerity by the regime does not help and dismantling the guard rails, it is unlikely that it can weather the storm that is brewing in which it help create.
