Is there a revolution happening?

I read that magnetic storms can sometimes cause revolutions. I've noticed a trend in the news of shootings happening in shopping centres in Europe. It's terroristic. But what against? I concluded against the idea of consumerism, against capitalism. This is radical in its true definition. These shoppers are being assaulted because they were mindlessly wasting their money on things. I do feel a sadness for their innocent casualties, but I have an idea of what the possible reasoning for why these horrible acts are happening. I'm not endorsing it, but is this the year that marks a shift in our fundamental understanding of life on earth?
