Studente polacco arrestato per sospetto complotto per l’attacco al mercatino di Natale

“WARSAW, Dec 16 (Reuters) – Polish security services have detained a 19-year-old student suspected of seeking to establish contacts with Islamic State and charged with preparing an attack at a Christmas market that could have caused mass casualties, authorities said on Tuesday.”

There’s a huge issue in the sense that individual actors or small groups can be heavily radicalised and weaponised online – there are also agendas to destabilise countries and politics by various actors, often who might have very different motives, but similar objectives that line up.

You’re seeing it with Islamic extremists, with political extremists mostly on the far right, but not exclusively so, and also with state actors driving hybrid campaigns – there are very likely points where those intersect and radicalised useful idiot human drones become a tool.

The other aspect is the narrative that repeats in a lot of these: taking out an internalised, very twisted hatred of the world around them by just attacking random members of the public – that’s where there are parallels between Islamic extremist attacks and also the U.S. style mass shootings – the outlying weirdo, completely consumed by their own bubble of anger and hate who then violently lashes out at the world and kills people.

We’ve always had people willing to use terrorism but the way this stuff is happening is different because of how it’s being organised, driven and inspired – it’s bubbles, tiny cells add lone wolves.

Mati overdosed whatever he was snorting.

He will have fun in jail
