To live under civilization is to live life as a mediated experience.
Politics is mediation of human interaction, the result of which is an absurd and disgusting spectacle. As a method of control, the issues of so called community are haphazardly jammed into "proper channels". Those complicit in the existence of this concept are forced to find acceptable ways of showing and solving
issues related to their slavery.

Those who argue against the destruction of the politics state that without it, we would live in a world of brutes who maim instead of vote. The essence of the civilized is reflected in this sentiment, as it shows the absolute terror evoked when confronted with just the mere possibility of engaging in free life. While the feral steal any scrap of freedom they can, the civil beg for any buffer between them and human interaction.

Revolutionary programs seek to remedy this by reshaping(or less commonly destroying) the systems that produce the misery. On the off chance they have their way, they end up recreating the exact same hellworld; as the unruly nature of unmediated life is completely incompatible with strict, utopian desires. The nihilists are aware of such truths and often resign themselves to the darkest reaches of the world, content with the small globs of manna that may fall in their hiding places. Regardless of your desires, there is one disruption of our material conditions that is starting to shake the foundation that we all stand on: The Boogaloo.

The Boogaloo, often styilized as "Boog", is a term used by insurgents(mostly right wing) to refer to a second civil war in the United States. Fascists see it mainly as an opportunity to cleanse the states and establish a "proper"government; others have come to see it as a chance to execute their own left-wing agendas. The size of the country, its relationship with firearms and its many headstrong citizens will lead to a breaking point, the start of which is already clear. This is considered by state actors who, while simultaneously denying the possibility, spend a shit ton of time disrupting every possible pocket of semi-coherent insurgency.

Between minor things such as questioning Rojava visitors and larger operations such as the deliberate disruption of black identity groups such as The Iron Fist; its clear that the threat of civil war and/or balkanization is real in the mind of the state. And as collapse stacks catastrophe after catastrophe, the government's grip on its slaves loosens, creating more opportunities for insurgents(whether they be fascist or not) to create their own autonomous zones. For some of the people reading this, their frontline for this emerging conflict consists of the anarcho-liberals.

The model of anlib action is based on the assertion that there will be infrequent and insignificant disruptions of "the normal". Supply chains breaking down and ecological collapse are recognized as issues, but issues that are only used to cultivate an air of defeat. Anlibs, even the insurrectionary breeds, lie dormant doing activist busywork until "it goes down". The construction of autonomy is considered a pastime, just a few hours at the food distro when one isn't doing the other kind of social work. These actions lack the agility required for what is unfolding.

This was made clear when these hobbies were challenged with the coronavirus, as collapse immediately had a tangible effect on what was to perceived to be a static slot in life. The disaster came and while anlibs imagine themselves as cunning and adaptable, reality shows a group of cowards who hide behind the abstraction of "public health".

The Boogaloo has already started. There are not enough phone zaps, demos, co-op coffee shops, catholic workers or libraries to prevent it. The United States is falling apart and power held by the state will start flowing back to the people. Anyone bold enough bare their fangs will shape the former United States. Make no mistake, you are already participating in the next civil war.
