The case and especially the group look weird to me. This is supposed to be a extreme-left/anarchist/eco-terrorist group. It is supposed to be active since the 2010s.
They were able to identify weakpoints in critical infrastructure multiple times now. So they must have a relatively large network. But officially nobody knows how big this group is or how they are organised. Nobody was able to catch any members.
Their targets are really inconsistent. Research Facilities, factorys, car dealerships and, like in this case, critical infrastructure. They seem to have no specific target, just society as a whole.
They have a volcano theme going. Nothing screams anarchism like volcanos on Iceland(?).
But the police and secret services are convinced that this is a genuine group. That the manifests are genuine.
This whole thing screams 90s movie eco-terrorist vibe, instead of a group organising around a specific goal. TBF there are people out there that have rage in them and they latch onto whatever ideology to justify living out that rage.
But come on, they want to raise class awareness, by turning the power off in the middle of winter.
It is so wild to me that in the US it is phrased as party identification. That implies, that who you are voting for is a deep part of your identity.
In my country it is the ‘Sunday Question’, because people are asked ‘If an election would be happening on this sunday, who would you vote for?’ If you would ask people what party they identify with, the vastly majority would say ‘none of them’
If I want to identify with a party, I would join them as a member. I am voting for the guy/party, that would be the best fit in my opinion. That can be vastly different in federal, state or local elections. My election choice is not my identity. I don’t identify with a party.
