And it's not just Europe either. The US has suffered from multiple attacks on electrical substations [1] as well with unknown perpetrators (the suspicion is white supremacists), and on top of that come rednecks shooting at power lines and god knows what else.

Paranoia surrounding critical infrastructure is skyrocketing at the moment, and I'd say for a bunch of very good reasons.

the "rednecks" are the ones fixing power lines for you.

your neck may not be red because you get to sit inside while they keep your power on for you.

meanwhile you sit inside writing your hateful, elitist, garbage.

the conspiracy theories related to event you linked are ridiculous.
