Bleeding Edge indeed

[J Tracy]

Interesting read. I may know people who know some of the characters. 
Considering the history of organized violence by states , by secret police, by settler colonialists, racists etc. it is sometimes shocking to me that there are  not more Ted Kozinskis  or Luigi Mangiones.  But most resistance to disposesion and violent assault comes from  people who have no other means of defending themselves: Native Americans, Hamas, IRA , Russians in WW2.  If the article is fundamentally accurate, these zizians  are extreme  and childishly pathetic hypocrites  and do not even direct their violence at  remotely legitimate targets of their particular war. In fact they reflect those ( like the US in Vietnam, the Rwandan Genocide, the Israeli Nakba and current genocide who similarly attack the weak not for any high ideals  or even genuine self defense but in opportunism, pettiness, greed and power lust.  The private vocabulary and private communication systems  seems to be a major tactic of  bad actors, reflecting as much the CIA or Blackrock, as terrorists or drug cartels.
