How long until you retire? If you've still got another thirty to forty years of wage slavery ahead of you then don't worry about it. Just keep contributing and make sure to get all of your employer's match, if any.
The lynching narrative presupposes that the perpetrators are a mob of otherwise normal people driven to take justice into their own hands by extreme ignorance and prejudice that can eventually be overcome by education in tolerance. Is that how you feel about the Israeli settlers? The way I feel about them is that they are not normal yet severely ignorant people. They are invaders who know exactly what they are doing. There is no pretense of justice for them to take into their own hands. They cannot be taught to coexist with the Palestinians they are trying to ethnically cleanse from the West Bank. They need to be driven at gun point back to Long Island or at least Israel 1948. Calling it lynching minimizes the settlers' culpability.
The problem is this case is that 'a lynching' implies that the mob is going against the authorities, which is absolutely not the case when it comes to settler violence. The Israeli soldiers are there to protect and facilitate the settlers in their attacks against Palestinians. Under no circumstances does the IDF deserve the benefit of the doubt and the article makes it clear that they are the ones who abducted Hamdan anyway.
Means, motive, lack of scruples: it's all there.
I wonder if proof of sabotage actually exists, but whoever has it is withholding it from the public for blackmail.
China already gets a lot of (undeserved) bad press. An experiment breaching containment and causing a pandemic is bad for scientific research everywhere.
Okay, sure, but to what end? It's not clear to me how accusations of an accidental release are bad for China. Is the purpose actually to cover up intentional sabotage by an anti-China entity? It's not clear to me either who it helps or hurts for the COVID-19 outbreak to have been a completely natural occurrence.

My response from the last time I saw this question:
- Trillbilly Worker's Party - Kentucky-centric Marxist jokers hanging out. They always know how to put a smile on my face, even if they're talking about bleak stuff.
- Fun City - Well produced live role playing of Shadowrun. The game is a few years in and I am just invested.
- ALAB - Lawyers talking shit. They're funny and I like learning about interesting cases. One of the characters they covered actually sued them and settled for an interview on the show.
- Desert Oracle Radio - Joshua Tree-centric paranormal stuff. Good for an old X-Files head like me.

Most of the violence and oppression gets exported, so it's probably best to just sit tight here in the heart of the empire.
