This might actually signal the end of the current era. They've begun a campaign of nationally-sponsored global eco-terrorism. Modern technology relies on high-trust societies living at relative peace. It breaks down completely after a certain amount of sabotage.

The people who think this is a good thing are so fucking stupid. This is one giant step toward thermo-nuclear war. And what would this war accomplish? Nothing! It would be as useless as World War One. I used to wonder how the people of Europe could have allowed their "leaders" to lead them into WW1. Now I just have to look around, and I can see how it was done, because our own "leaders" are doing the same thing.
