What's the evidence it was "left wing?"
A group called "Vulkangruppe" released a letter claiming responsibility for it. Citing they wanted to hurt rich people living in the area and the goal was to shut down a gas power plant that is hurting our planet by causing CO2 emissions.
The group did similar stuff already, like sabotaging electricity pylons by setting them ablaze at the Tesla factory in Germany.
Dig it.
Credit where it's due. Here in the States, Right-Wingers have targeted electrical junctions taking out communities. At least this is legit and not shifting blame.
Who profits from this? It increases the cultural war, worsens divide and helps the political right. Sound like a Russian false flag op to me. It also not the first (there was something about climate activists earlier this year that is known to be exaclty that), nor will it be the last.
You might be right.
Disruption is sometimes a tool for protest. There's scant information around the motivations for this. I want to know more.
Hell yeah
in the US its 100% right wing cunts saying the lefties did it
Yeah, that's why I asked.
