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?
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?
Sometimes, events like this precede real revolutions by 20 or 25 years, but the outcome is not certain. In some cases, counterrevolutionary forces establish a fascist regime and simply kill all leftists.
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 strength 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.
It is adventurism just by definition, unless it’s being carried out by some kind of underground, organized revolutionary cell network.
at most, such things are an expression of frustration and desperation. there only resistance is organized resistance. also you have to build the alternative you want to see, otherwise it’s just destruction
yes
Cynic in me but I still wonder if they are pushed in this direction by owners who need to commit insurance fraud because business is bad?
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?
you can say its a warehousewarming trend
Yes. Also tips on how not to set myself on fire accidentally.
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.
No way, so the OG Anarchist’s Cookbook wasn’t totally full of shit!?
Accidentally warehouse fires are common, just getting over reported due to the intentional one, and a bunch of influencers are picking it up to drive engagement. The podcast It Could Happen Here just did an episode on it.
There really isn’t a trend of warehouse fires. The It Could Happen Here podcast did an episode on it the other day. Warehouse fires are just really common. They happen on average of four times a day in the US. But now you have a ton of content creators trying to paint every new one as a WaLuigi copycat to get those social media clicks. And since these fires are a daily occurrence, there are tons to choose from. They’re conflating events that are almost certainly not connected at all.
While I’m sure we’re going to get a WaLuigi copycat at some point in the future, there is no evidence that’s happening right now. A lot of people desperately want to believe that it is, though. I would like to believe that it is. But there just isn’t any actual evidence that it’s true.
Not that that’s going to stop lawmakers from clutching their pearls and passing some new draconian laws that further put the screws to the working class. I’ve been paying attention to politics for over 30 years and I don’t think I’ve ever seen Congress pass up a chance to screw over poor people when the opportunity arises.
