Thank you for your praxis. I will reflect upon this in the future

Ungovernability has multiple different meanings in different contexts (as we might guess)

Most of the time I hear about it it's Foucault's notion, which is not the same as anarchy. For Foucault, the philosophical practice of critique is the same process as coming to decide you are unwilling to be governed in some particular way. So for Foucault ungovernability doesn't actually reflect a total rejection of governance. (You can check out his essay, What is Critique?).

A good example of this would be, in the mid 1980s during in South Africa some of the townships (POC-designated areas that were on the margins/peripheries of cities that functioned as a storehouse for labour) took on such a level of resistance that apartheid police and overt apartheid forces could not enter without suffering bigtime. In 85, the ANC president sent out a message to the people to Render South Africa Ungovernable!, where he recognised that these processes were underway and told people to take it forward as a political project. However, the premise of ungovernability as the (co-opted) project of the ANC was that it was apartheid governance that was illegitimate and that democratic governance would be accepted as legitimate.
So here we see exactly the kind of conditional ungovernability that Foucault speaks about.

Beyond that, ungovernability is often a broader part of the general politics of refusal. We see this politics as an non-Marxist anticapitalisms, and here I include the autonomists. Any anti-work practices and anti-productivity would plug into this.

To continue also associated with what in South Africa we call 'uncivil society', which is in contrast to state power, civil society (as the left wing of capital), and the authoritarian criminal underside of capital - it is the anti-authoritarian criminals. Ungovernable practices in that way can be understood as inherently criminalised and uninterested in the politics of recognition or respectability.

Considering the Sub, I will offer;
No Selves to Abolish - Afropessimism, Anti-politics and the End of the World

I could think of more texts, if you want something more specific to "manifesting in the real", but I couldn't be bothered finding more links right now.

that channel is a goldmine

I would love to see more art, and designs rather than articles. Like the chair from a few weeks back. It was amazing to look at. Expensive though.
