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.

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.

yes

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

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?

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.

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?
