We’ve seen plenty of leftist violence in America in recent times, but we are hardly immune. Across the Pond, in Berlin, Germany, they’re finding out just how damaging crazed anarchists can be when they put their minds to it. To wit, a far-left pro-environmental organization called the Vulkan group claimed responsibility for an attack on the power grid that has left thousands of residents without electricity for days — even as freezing temperatures engulf the region.

According to the newspaper Berlin Zeitung, the group posted a 4,163-word letter saying they did it to protest the energy industry, adding that they targeted well-off neighborhoods to "cut the juice to the ruling class."

Looks like their leftists are just as nuts as ours.

The ongoing incident has Berliners questioning how this could have happened — and who might be watching:

In its third full day, a widespread power failure in Berlin resulting from an arson attack started to tug on the nerves of tens of thousands of people making do without heat, electricity, cellphone service and warm food or drinks.

It also had them questioning their infrastructure and security. The power cuts started on Saturday when firefighters were called to a fire at a cable transom that crosses a canal to connect one of Berlin’s biggest power plants to residents.

“A country like Russia will be carefully watching this to see where the critical points are,” said Jürgen Eicher, a 56-year-old resident. “I’d prefer it wasn’t quite so obvious.”

The tweet continues:

Responsibility for the attack was claimed by a German radical Antifa group calling itself “Vulkan.”

Note: Antifa is a nebulous group, and the Vulkan group (Vulkangruppe) isn’t formally associated with them, but German authorities describe them as “belonging to the violence-oriented anarchist spectrum of the left-wing extremist scene.” You get the idea.

The outages have caused widespread misery, with tens of thousands of businesses without power, schools shuttered, hospitals and nursing homes affected, and trains inoperable, all while the temperature remains below zero. Authorities have been forced to open up warming shelters where people can defrost and charge their phones, although communications have been affected, too.

Power is slowly being restored, but German officials don’t expect to have things fully resolved until Thursday.

According to reports, saboteurs torched a cable bridge that contained five main power lines and planted explosives underneath. It raises questions about Germany’s security, especially when it concerns their old foe, Russia.

The power outage added fuel to the debate about the robustness of Germany’s critical infrastructure. As the fourth anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine nears, the German authorities have warned the population that the country has become a target for sabotage attacks.

The authorities called on the federal prosecutor on Monday to take over the case, an indication of how seriously they take the sabotage.

It's right out of a dystopian movie:

The radical left would like to see human advancement set back by a century or more as they try to foist their extremist views on the environment, equity, gender ideology, and energy down everyone else's throats. They keep telling us, and the broader world around us, that they are the enemies of civilized people. We should listen.
