Earlier this week I wrote on something being talked about a lot by the black community recently called "black fatigue," and more often than not, it's members of the black community expressing their exhaustion with the parts of the community that engage in destructive or overly foolish behavior.
As I noted in that article, it's not the black community that's only experiencing this. What we're looking at is just one aspect of what I call "anti-civilization" attitudes, and these come in many forms, and usually look different based on depending on different factors such as race, age, class, and sex.

For instance, young white people exhibit these things in the form of extremist activism, sometimes going so far as to manifest as Antifa. White kids who are often middle or upper class will engage in intimidation, destruction, and assaults with the idea that they're doing something heroic and moral.
Believers of Islam will sometimes also manifest these attitudes with their own brand of extremism that can involve anything from sexually assaulting women to killing people with bombs or guns.
Transgender people will often force their beliefs through intimidation, lewd displays, and brainwashing of children.
It can even be displayed within our own government, where it's the most destructive, and this usually comes in the form of fostering entropy. In fact, you could say that a lot of these anti-civilizations happen because governments encourage and reward these types of behaviors, either through inaction or direct celebration.
The more I thought about it, the more I realized that "anti-civilization" wasn't exactly cutting it as a descriptor.
What this all really is, is neo-barbarism.
But all of it has roots in the same place, identity politics, which is just a thick branch of Marxism.
Identity is at the core of a lot of this neo-barbarism. You'll often find western neo-Barbarism has a lot to do with "oppressed" and "oppressors," which is another way of describing "haves" and "have-nots."
The "oppressed" of our society almost always are excused for acting out, even if how they're acting out results in someone dying. You've seen it yourself. A transgender person can practically do a strip show in front of children, and they'll be applauded for being "brave." Entire towns could be burned, and advocates of this neo-barbarism will say throw out that MLK line about riots being the language of the unheard.
It's not all-out Stalinism, but it's just as divisive, with professors and TikTok influencers alike telling kids their parents are fascists and that the system they live in and benefit from is harming people who have less than them. A demonstrable lie, as even the poor in America are generally well-fed and have iPhones. Even the poor in the West are rich by global standards. Such is the success of Western ideals, traditions, and values.
And it's those values this neo-barbarism is also trying to destroy with a rejection of traditional morality. Hyper-sexualization is a feature in today's society, with women often dancing provocatively, exposing themselves, or even resorting to online prostitution in the form of OnlyFans, and all of it is dressed as "empowerment."
Women, in particular, are encouraged to be less committed to developing families and cultivating warm homes and pushed to drive themselves into the work force where they're pushed to commit themselves to something colder and transient, instead of lasting and meaningful. They're told to treat men as a means to an end that are either bothersome at best, or worth of scorn at worst. They flit from one bed to another in the name of independence and girl power, rejecting proven morals and traditions that lead to fulfillment and happiness.
This is just a small example of the encouragement of moral decay in our society, but the point of this decay is to erode the foundations of Western culture until the civilization either collapses or is so untenable that it requires restructuring from the ground-up. Of course, the system that will replace it won't have the same Judeo-Christian ideas the last one did, and it won't be capitalist.
All of these things that seem like out-of-pocket behaviors aren't disconnected. The desire to destroy Western civilization isn't exactly kept mum. Many radical leftists make it clear that this is the goal, and as such, you'll see them encourage and participate in barbaric behaviors, whether it's self-uglification, destruction of property, assaults on innocents, or putting on a suit and passing laws that erode society.
Rome wasn't conquered, it collapsed from the inside, and that's the game plan. To weaken it enough so something like that can take place, neo-barbarism is needed.
