The first time I heard the phrase "become ungovernable", I assumed it was about home gardening and biking and reducing consumer waste. Imagine my disappointment when I found out it was actually about perpetuating institutional inequality and "fuck you, got mine."

It's just another thing right libertarians stole from anarchists. I'm pretty sure Emma Goldman was the originator of the whole "become ungovernable" thing (could be totally wrong about that so take it with a bucket of salt) and she definitely meant it haha. Part of that is gardening and various other community building acts, but the other part is very "seize the means of production" and assassinating authority figures. Less "fuck you, got mine" and more "give everybody everything or die"

What do you mean? It's still an anarchist thing.

Right-wing "libertarians" only know how to steal actual libertarian thought and shit all over it.
