The author is really SHOOK from this incident. If you are wondering why, read how he describes himself in the screenshot.

            Butlerian jihad was direct cause setting up the of 15+ millenia of caste system, feudalism, slavery, suspicious tranhumanist sects preying on humanity, horrors of the Golden Path and its consequences, and multigalactic scale genocide in the scattering. So i would say, pretty bad.

            Butlerian Jihad is from Dune (fiction). Not sure about whether it is good or not but from the synopsis I just read it doesn't sound bad.

            Destroying driverless cars in California I think is complicated. It's not good to see IMO. But there is this whole thing about how some places in California have become sort of a testing ground of this technology and the locals have had no input in this. Usually big corporations like Waymo have a direct channel to politicians and after small bumps they can do whatever they want. I don't know the details because I don't care about local Californian politics but hearsay that is the gist I got. With this context this act of spontaneous vandalism should be seen not as a revolt against technology but against corporations like Waymo and the politicians that they have in their pockets.
