the Antitoi raid: the Antitois as O.N.A.N.'s debris — experialist impost and the Convexity crossing — "before O.N.A.N.ite experialist impost made any…"
before O.N.A.N.ite experialist impost made any sort of struggle or sacrifice remotely necessary
Context
The Antitoi front is the Reconfiguration's fallout made human: the brothers were "sent through the remains of Provincial Autoroute 55/ U.S.A. 91" across "the Convexity's Bellow's Falls VT O.N.A.N.ite checkpoint," burying their protective garb — the toxic border crossed like a contamination airlock. And the whole Separatist struggle is dated to the giveaway: Lucien carved his broom-weapon as a boy "before O.N.A.N.ite experialist impost made any sort of struggle or sacrifice remotely necessary." The insurgency is not ancient Québécois grievance but a direct product of "experialist impost" — the tax-in-territory O.N.A.N. levied on Canada. The Antitois exist because the Convexity does.
