A fablab burned down in France by anarchists: Makery

Not sure why they're labeled anarchists though. If you burn something because it doesn't align with your own personal view of the world, you're a thug with authoritarian / violent tendencies and that's about it, no need to embellish idiots' actions with fancy ideology.

For anyone that was confused while reading it, by fablab they mean a general workshop to build things, not a place to produce semiconductors.

Further within the article is the message from the alleged arsonists:

"City managers cater to start-ups greedy for money and the fashionably geek masses by opening fablabs in trendy neighborhoods. These extremely diverse measures on the surface all aim to accelerate the general social acceptance and usage of the technologies of our sinister era. (…) And we couldn’t care less whether these fablabs came out of the stale imagination of a revered hacker, which isn’t the case, or whether they’re participating in fruitful scientific collaborations with one of the temples of technocracy, MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), which is the case—because they are a nuisance, we destroyed one"

Seems like a French thing, create a deconstruction space. Unmaker? Razer Space!

Instead of burning things down, how about building things instead?
