There are at least types of people that the term “Zizian” might refer to:
Someone who has read Sinceriously.fyi and is generally sympathetic to Ziz’s philosophy.
A member of a relatively tightly-coordinated anarchist conspiracy, that has (allegedly) planned and carried out a series of violent crimes.
Octavia is a Zizian in the first sense, but is not (to my knowledge) a Zizian in the second sense. In fact, she seems unaware or disbelieving that a network of Zizians of the second sense exists. She appears to think that there are only ‘people who have benefited from reading Ziz’s blog’, and no coordinated criminal network to speak of.
I would be very surprised if there was no “inner Ziz crew”, as inner circles around leaders / prominent figures in a community seem like a default thing that forms in movements/cultural groups.
But is it true that you don’t think this inner circle is a coordinated group responsible for the murders?
i think an important thing to remember is that i recorded this interview prior to Audere’s arrest and the link between Jamie and Ziz and Ophelia being made public. At the time the situation was a lot more open ended and proposing that everything was linked in a conspiratorial manner seemed like somewhat of a stretch to justify without evidence. That said, a lot of new evidence has in fact come to light, which presents the events as being fairly interrelated, and so at this point to claim there’s no connection between any of these things would be kinda dumb of me. How organized is this inner group? idk, but it seems pretty clear that people are at least talking to each other and coordinating on things in some way.
