I'm thinking of the coup attempts in Peru, Germany. Also the electric infrastructure attacks.
Are these things now happening at a faster pace and in such a way that, either:
1. Eventually some attempt at something big gets past logistical and law enforcement barriers.
or
2. These things are decoys or tests, and the big one comes sometime between tomorrow and a couple years from now?

Figliusi said that something should be done to stop the information that is being posted on social media about how to disable the electrical grid.

Castillo had said in an unusual midnight address on state television ahead of the vote that he would never stain the good name of my honest and exemplary parents, who like millions of Peruvians, work every day to build honestly a future for their families.
The peasant-turned-president said hes paying for mistakes made due to inexperience. But he said a certain sector of Congress has as its only agenda item removing me from office because they never accepted the results of an election that you, my dear Peruvians, determined with your votes.
Castillo has denied allegations of corruption against him, saying theyre based on hearsay statements by people who, seeking to lighten their own punishments for supposed crimes by abusing my confidence, are trying to involve me without evidence.

Lots of unscrupulous actors these days. Various groups using social media to organize, but none having sufficient, what "gravitas"?, to garner enough to whatever their cause. Governments limiting the flow of information, battling misinformation and then government officials indulging in all the same "sins" themselves.
A wildly gyrating mire. Nobody really wants this. But many think they can ride the wave to something better than what they have now.
Our technology is challenging all our archaic, obsolete notions of property, class, money, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, nationality, and so on. Our horse-and-buggy Constitution is now woefully inadequate. As are most other governments around the world.
I think we're all just kind of wondering where we'll go from here.
It's like we're all being dissected, obsessed over by countless algorithms, until some mystical magic hat chooses which "house" we belong to. We're all being constantly "nudged".
I suppose this too is a nudge!
