This website is from Ziz cult-ist Gwen Danielson, an actual crazy cultist with arrest records, involved in an attempted murder by sword.

Feel free to google them.

'Anna has repeatedly advised people to abandon their own rationality and judgment and steer away from Ziz’s and my ideas on the basis that we wear black clothing, the clothing of our religion (vegan sith) and political cluster (vegan anarchotranshumanists), and have “dangerous ideas”.' -Your link

"Their arrest stems from a demonstration at Westminster Woods that left counselors and guests there rattled. On Nov. 15, 2019, the four blocked the exit to the woodsy retreat with a box truck, shuttle bus and Toyota Prius, and emerged wearing black robes, gloves and Anonymous-style Guy Fawkes masks. Two of them carried walkie-talkies, one wore a body camera and another had pepper spray, according to the initial arrest report.

The situation escalated when a Westminster Woods employee reported that one of the protesters was armed."[0]

"In November of 2022, three associates of Ziz (Somnulence “Somni” Logencia, Emma Borhanian, and someone going by the alias “Suri Dao”) got into a violent conflict with their landlord in Vallejo, California, according to court records and news reports. Somni stabbed the landlord in the back with a sword, and the landlord shot Somni and Emma. Emma died, and Somni and Suri were arrested. Ziz and Gwen were seen by police at the scene, alive."[1]

Long read, all details: https://medium.com/@sefashapiro/a-community-warning-about-zi...

Yes, I have some minimal knowledge about this cult - please disregard the first link. This was just lazy phone googling for some reference. The second link however is solid.

The stance of large parts of the EA/rationalist/Bay Area scene towards abuse is still very troubling. This rabbit hole goes substantially deep.

I will not link Aella's polls or opinions about child abuse but they'd fit here too
