This could possibly be an act of intelligent terrorism.
Attack the infrastructure, and get the public all riled up at the local authorities for not restoring service quickly. Don't try to take credit for anything, and keep your mouth shut. Trigger the proles properly and they'll tear down the establishment for you.
One dipshit taking potshots at transformers could knock out power to a large area for weeks. Disabling a water tower could make an entire town unlivable. Cutting an underground cable in the right place, or taking out the right above ground junction box, could disable communications for a long time. Disable a WalMart, and you can effectively fuck an entire community for months of years.
Start a meme, and you could even inspire the more impressionable morons to help destroy their own town. The police will say each incident is an isolated act of vandalism, and just won't be able to respond effectively. By the time they figure out what's going on the damage will have been done.
The powers that be fear the masses "waking up," but that's never going to actually happen. The masses are sheep to be led around. It's all about the bread and circuses. Attacking the infrastructure forces the proles to be mindful of their own survival needs, sometimes for the first time in their lives, and that'll do more to get them off their asses than any slogan or noble philosophy.
