A bit of a code-word for "anything that doesn’t fit into our own world-view". I see this phrase tossed around right-wing circles quite a bit, and it should be regarded carefully.

Yes, the current admin is pushing this as a catch-all category for people they want to monitor/disrupt but who don’t fit into traditional categories. It’s smart to be wary any time there is an official “threat” defined, as there’s often something else behind it.

I had the impression "NVE" was used to avoid describing folks like the Butler PA shooter, Charlie Kirk's assassin, and this last would be lone gunman as conservatives.

That's exactly it. These people were not disillusioned with the whole world, just their political party.

And yet if you say that on television the administration will try to pull you off the air: https://www.npr.org/2025/09/18/nx-s1-5544559/abc-jimmy-kimme...

The parent comment is warning about the potential for a false representation of a crisis being used to grab more power; the underlying facts being inconsistent with the supposed crisis is not particularly surprising

That was a bit of a canard, though, right? Did anyone seriously think he was a conservative? I thought this was just another mental gymnastics act in the Whataboutism Circus. With some photo fabrication to support it, according to Wikipedia.

It seems from the same vein of bullshit as "Trump Derangement Syndrome" - the fascists have projected their own "motivated by attempts at taking down major societal institutions, attempting to cause political and societal chaos, or otherwise committing violent acts somewhere without a cohesive ideological worldview" onto some ambiguous and changing other, to preempt such labels being applied to themselves.

It all gets categorized as right-wing violence anyways.
