Zerzan is still on my to-read list. Its ironic i was so into those kinda ideas when in reality even when going to a public park i never walk off the designated path, in case i get mud on me or something!

Early Zerzan is worth a read. The later stuff is unreadable dreck.

...these days I get my wilderness kicks camping, hiking, climbing etc in inhospitable places rather than dreaming of reducing suburbia into boreal forest.
 
i read the unabomber manifesto. and then i used to utter half digested ramblings about 'leftists' afterwards. I think my strong catholic upbringing has always put an impediment in the way of me rising above slave morality :)

nah, i want full blown primmo rather than class war stuff. Stuff thats like "yeah we do want a big fucking die off whats the fucking problem with that'....if you can offer any readings are even more hardcore and misanthropic than zerzan then do share!!!
 
Feral Faun perhaps? Wolfi Landstreicher maybe?

Wander over to the US Green Anarchy site (if it's still up), they have tonnes of terrible shit.

I can't stomach this stuff now.

You can see echoes of it in the dire Informal Anarchist stuff.

Fucking awful.

I blame Earth Crisis.
 
yep. veganism- AR - Primmo Pretensions - (leftist-ish)Islamism. embarressing doesnt get anywhere close!

Dont slag off earth crisis!!!!!! It all started off for me when hearing an earth crisis song for the first time, when a hangover was coming on at 4am and i had to head to my factory job in 2 hours...

ETA - cheers for the headsup for the primmo-porn!!
 
...but let's be honest/realistic for a moment, Primitivism was only ever highly marginal in the 90s scene in the UK, even at it's height. It had no major strategical or theoretical impact on what happened, or where the movement(s) went.
 
yeah agreed. think it had a bigger impact in the US. Being honest i was more on the music-subcultural side of things than the politics.

Thats waay more respectful than mine. There was definately right wing dimensions in my political being. You are on the right thread for the bakunin dog scenario to evolve. You can have my heinz 57 mongrel if you want :D

Thats an awesome picture. Me and my peeps would have probably called y'all drunk punks or something but would have felt secretly ashamed of ourselves by the fact that youse were actually doing the stuff we fantasised/pontificated about.

I read Running on Emptiness: The Pathology of Civilization when it came out, and it was a therapeutic read (hearing someone moan so well about society) even though I didnt agree with the conclusions, the logic of which felt like defeatism - primitivism is the ultimate retreat really

in your zionist-leftist phase were you influenced by the 'anti-germans'?

I was a teenager when this was going on and I think I may have read some stuff by them, but not realised what it was/who it was by :facepalm: I was a bit of a conspiraloon as well though and believed in Saudi etc conspiracies :facepalm:
