The difference there is that that's actually ISIS's modus operandi - that's what they were trying to accomplish; attacks on civilians that were "ISIS inspired" but not actually directed or organized by actual members of ISIS. Much, much harder for law enforcement to foresee and prevent attacks of that type. I suspect the European Antifa people aren't huge fans of their brand, such as it is, being co-opted by random people at protests across the pond.
Frankly there are a lot of generally de-centralized "movement" organizations that make it hard for me to tell if they're actually... organized. Is BLM a real organization, for example? Is Anonymous? Are there now degrees of what constitutes a "real organization," or do you need to have a mailing address and a governing board?
