The goal of the Proud Boys and their buddies is to bring the downfall of the power grid to force a revolution. They're planning it. They're acting on those plans. This is not some random guy doing something stupid. Well, it is stupid people doing something though.

Not just them. Proud boys became the public face of fascists militias because they were less extreme than other groups. Atomwaffen in particular are more driven and more dangerous.

In the book that inspired them, attacks on infrastructure is what lead to the race war that let the fascists come to power and the complete genocide of non whites and Jews. This is presented as a good thing and a happy ending.

They seriously think everyone is just a blackout away from full on violently killing everyone that doesn't look like them.
