Was ISIS the end of the Lone Wolf modus operandi

Strategy of lone wolves is not a set point of ISIS, it was claimed all the history by fanaticism promoted by people disgusted with society. From Herostratos the first terrorist from Greece, who set fire to the temples to shows revolt and put his name in the history as a revolutionary, the psychological complexity of the lone wolves goes beyond the political parties or clans.

Lone wolves goes for the cause, but first of all, particular causes, as revolt for a political particularity, as the case of the Killdozer, a guy who simply decided to fight the government. Or in the case of the Thimothy McVeigh, who decided to blew Oklahoma in by particular cases, in the financial problem he was suffering from the economic system, based in terroristic statemets promoted by Aryan Nations.

In other cases, the Korean Cho Seung, who shoted spree killing in because of the social racism and persecution for his ethnicity, he claimed to do everything alone for one cause only. 

In these cases the causes were personal, like the Boston Marathon or the case of Wellington in Rio de Janeiro. they sympathized with a cause but acted alone, searched in the roots of their personal ideologies the motivation to do it, and the psychossocial question is raising on the private lives, as they could not confide themselves with the whole society.

But in the case of ISIS the lone wolves strategy gone far, they used a network to connect lone wolves with the group, acting alone but with an indoctrination and back up and support, spiritual, mental or fraternal support to the actions. In general isolated from the society, considered pariahs, avenging the society for their loneliness and causes for action and re-action. In the axiom of usage is a tactic that promotes logistic support, network, indoctrination, facilitate to aquiring weapons and promisses of back up, legal support, etc.

This program uses the collective beyond the individual, and the well common for the society, they belive to be right, in order to promote terrorist actions. They don't act anymore like old lone wolves, but in order to a group, supported and instigated by high rank leaders.

In the case of a global jihadist movement, the lone wolves lost the identity to a close group acting together, advocating for single attacks done by single person. The group always claimed the attack, that is a point which denies the fact of lone wolves acting alone.

ISIS usage of Lone Wolves is a propaganda strategy, but means that the end of the classic Lone Wolves modus operandi, acting really alone for personal causes.

The answer could be, not only ISIS but the dynamic communications. In considered terrorist groups, like Atomwaffen Division, or Islamic State, the underground communications can be essential to the actions over lone wolves. Recently Atomwaffen claimed racial murdering and assaults in USA, and the actors just raid lonely, with no backup, but instigated to a 'grand cause', as the same thing of Jihadi Lone Wolves, that inspired themselves for the Islamist grand causes, hareems or other global form of order, that embrace them to a cause, to a part of a body.

ISIS raised this method of contract and instigation, inspiring lone wolves, but in soon another group could easily instigate lone wolves, beause of the new methods of networking communications, based in underground internet, imagery and embrace parts for a bigger cause, belonging feelings, etc.
