The Covid lockdown and the current economic malaise has given rise to a ton of reactionary types of all flavors. Interest in conspiracy theories rocketed online during that same time frame.
My thesis is that these attacks will keep coming out of nowhere as people break their cocoons and confront reality with increasing levels of violence like in the 1970's. Most will be individualistic adventurism that the authorities will use to crack down on whomever they please.
We are entering the Transmetropolitan-comic era of terrorist ideologies. Anything goes, expect the weird.
uhh, ok? what a fucking weird thing to target in 2022
Weird like targeting Computer Science departments in the 70s and 80s? :a-guy:
