Over time ITS have expanded their influence beyond Mexico into other countries & claimed IED & arson attacks & even assassinations in Chile, Argentinia, Greece, Spain, UK & elsewhere. Their ideas have spread online via Telegram & other encrypted channels https://www.nature.com/articles/476373a">https://www.nature.com/articles/...
ITS has also inspired creation of groups with similar ideas (some of which may be ITS front groups or noms de guerre) including Reacción Salvaje (RS) Wild Reaction, Kill or Dieā€ Group, Obsidian Point Circle of Attack etc. - see @mloadenthal book for more details
At same time, their ideological beliefs as expressed in a series of communiques have moved from a Stirner-inspired individualism & Kaczynski-esque anarcho-primitivism to a rejection of labels such as anarchism, insurrectionism & post-leftism.
They have consciously embraced an extreme nihilism which justifies & celebrates attacks against members of the public, as well as attacks on other anarchists.

Plus willingness to adopt fascist style ā€˜culling’ of ā€˜populations
This is typified by ITS response to Christchurch massacre which celebrated the racist mass murder for its destabilisation & chaos.

They also ā€œdistinguishedā€ their eco-extremism from eco-fascism by claiming that they rejected the latter as it posited a future for humanity
IGD also supported the publication of a pamphlet criticising ITS ā€˜Of Indiscriminate Attacks and Wild Reactions: an anti-civ anarchist engages with ITS and Atassa, their defenders and their false attacks’
Also worth reading the critique of ITS by another anarchist writer & theorist @rechelon ā€˜On No Platform and ITS’ http://humaniterations.net/2017/10/24/on-no-platform-and-its/">https://humaniterations.net/2017/10/2...
While this pamphlet ā€˜Against Eco-Extremism: Mirror Image of Civilisation & Religion’ collates a number of critiques from another anarchist & environmental groups https://325.nostate.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/ee-Copy.pdf">https://325.nostate.net/wp-conten...
Similar nihilistic & accelerationist themes to those expressed by ITS in its communiques can be found in literature which is popular in neo-Nazi & Alt-right circles from James Mason’s Siege! to Mike Ma’s Harrasment Architecture as well as on Telegram
Ecofascism is subject of whole other thread but this piece by @MrBrianHughes is good examination of contemporary ecofascism & accelerationism in ā€œPine Treeā€ https://violence-prevention-network.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Interventionen_14-2019.pdf">https://violence-prevention-network.de/wp-conten...
This excellent & regularly updated thread on ITS by @Jake_Hanrahan is highly recommended for background on their activities including claimed terrorist acts & murders, their ideological peregrinations & their transnational growth. Plus some interviews. https://twitter.com/jake_hanrahan/status/958325812104712192">https://twitter.com/jake_hanr...
I’ve only scratched the surface in this thread as came across ITS while researching contemporary eco-fascism but while anarchists & some journalists have written good work on ITS, we need to see more scholarly studies of the evolution of the group & its contemporary activities
