Are the spreading trend of warehouse fires in USA lately adventurism or something more? Is it inspiring revolutionary thinking in the masses? Or will it just be used to justify crushing us further?

    adventurism and i don’t think this will become anything all by itself, but is a signifier of the anger already simmering.

    but if you notice these people are usually quite reactionary, and acting alone then getting arrested is barely condusive to actual change because our main strenght is in our numbers instead. so far it’s all practice and no theory when both are needed.

    i gotta say it’s pretty cathartic though, i can very much appreciate that.

    There’s just been the one. The whole “trend” is a social media thing. Accidental fires and unrelated stuff getting caught up in the news cycle. The Amazon Warehouse for example was just solar panels that caught fire by accident.

      Thank you for saying it. The USA is quite large, and that means we have tons and tons and tons and tons of warehouses. With that being said, warehouses are actually quite flammable- often filled with paper packaging, flammable materials, and fine dust made of cardboard particles. It’s not unusual for them go to up in flames and smoke, and the rate we’re seeing them burning seems about on par with the average number of normal warehouse fires in a week.

      What makes them think it was an accidental solar panel fire?

      Let me rephrase: how does one make a fire look like an accident caused by solar panels?

    It is adventurism just by definition, unless it’s being carried out by some kind of underground, organized revolutionary cell network.

    It’s a new heartwarming trend. You should join in as well. All the cool kids are doing it already. Need a simple recipe for a basic cocktail?

        Fill a bucket with broken up styrofoam and the rest with gasoline. Let it mix a while, few hours. Pour it into a galss bottle using a funnel, recommendbly something that breaks easily. Avoid champagne bottles.

        Use any old cotton clothing items. Tear it into long rags. Soak it in the gasoline and tie a knot in the middle. Then squeeze the knot through the opening of the bottle which you already filled up with the mox before.

        You can improve the mixture with motor oil, but i can’t recall the exact ratios for that.
