the 1980s truly does stand out as one of the most militant decades in the history of radical tech politics.

there's now been a new statement on indymedia with the 'vulkangruppe' distancing itself from this attack and attacks from the last years. "Our past actions are being used to legitimize, explain, or politically justify current attacks. We reject this." de.indymedia.org/node/566531
a few days ago, the 'vulkangruppe' has sabotaged electricity cables in berlin "to turn off the juice of those in power." the communique presents it clearly as anti-AI sabotage, drawing the connection between AI, the greed for energy and climate change. 1/ de.indymedia.org/node/565575

there's some speculation within german media that the far right is behind the attack, weaponising it to fuel its anti-leftist narrative. seems unlikely and too conspiratorial - the far right doesn't need to risk this level of fuckery to win elections.

in 2025, after sabotage of a radio mast in grunewald-schmargendorf, the group's pamphlet argued for the need to sabotage the areas/homes of the wealthiest, listing specific oligarchs and politicians. they wrote: "peace to the huts – war to the palaces." 3/ de.indymedia.org/node/505874

the group has been around since at least the early 2010s, when the group (or groups that used similar volcano symbolism), sabotaged railway infrastructures. 4/

we're preparing a 24-page companion script book to go along with our online release of BREACHED. to gauge interest: would people be interested in buying a limited edition physical copy (e.g. $12), or should we stick to a free online PDF only?
