The Zizians, a controversial group formed from the libertarian tech culture of Silicon Valley, has made headlines due to their alleged involvement in violent crimes. Originating from online forums frequented by tech influencers, the group's ideology mixes anarchism, libertarianism, and veganism, with a prominent fear of AI. A shootout on Inauguration Day intensified media scrutiny, revealing how some narratives framed the suspects' trans identity as linked to their actions—further fueling anti-trans sentiments amidst rising political tensions under President Trump's administration.
