Many commentators conflate participants in Boog subcultures with accelerationists.

While a defining feature of BBs is *anticipation* of civil war, BBs don’t actively want it. It’s the accelerationist minority w/i BB communities inciting & attempting violence to cause civil war. https://twitter.com/stillgray/status/1320009579791462401
BBs range across a spectrum of political beliefs from leftist to libertarian to apathetic to hard right to far-right. The violence again, as with accelerationism in other milieu, is not motivated not by ideology. It is motived by myth. The actors can be & often are ideological.
But it isn’t their personal ideologies, interests, or worldviews that define accelerationists as revolutionaries. It’s myth. Political myth of civil war/USG&Western civ collapse for the secular accelerationists, religious myth of Apocalyse&End Times for the millenarians.
