One of the interesting things that technology is doing is abstracting the concept of political group away from a certain geographic location. So Greens in Europe and Greens in North America can chat, share, and talk about strategies to change to world. Same goes for all sorts of other groups.
Here we have people with a common shared strong political/religious viewpoint assembling from around the world in one spot and declaring a new state. That's very unusual.
We see miniature versions of this in the states with "flash mobs", but the stronger the feelings involved, the more disruptive something like this can be.
I wonder if we're not going to see a lot more of this over the next few decades.
