"Nihilistic Violent Extremists (NVEs) are individuals who engage in criminal conduct within the United States and abroad, in furtherance of political, social, or religious goals that derive primarily from a hatred of society at large and a desire to bring about its collapse by sowing indiscriminate chaos, destruction, and social instability. NVEs work individually or as part of a network with these goals of destroying civilized society through the corruption and exploitation of vulnerable populations, which often include minors.”
The way this is written is terroristic in nature. For example, "sowing indiscriminate chaos, destruction, and social instability", there is nothing in there that is an express crime. Its all 'feels' kind of descriptions. Again, evencalLegfeels like this, but it'd never be used that way.
However, choose a local mutual aid group. The point behind them is social instability at the government level, and how to route around that for group stability. I could easily see a mutual aid group being called an NVE.
And really, the much older term all of this talks about is really "undesirables". It all goes back to whom the gobernment doesn't want, and how to de-person-ize them, and then do whatever with these non-persons.
