      “some people on twitter said that anarcho primitivism is based, but some other people said it’s equivalent to fascism. i cannot be bothered to find out what their arguments actually were, and i have never actually read any critiques of civilization because my interest in the topic extends to finding a new polandball guy to draw, so i’ll uncritically download and repeat both opinions as my own.”

      anti/post “civ” is a different critique from the primitivist one, its not about technology but like the ideological/cultural construction of “civilisation” and its opposite “uncivilized”.

      i’ve read some okay takes on it, but its not like a full political programme. not that that stops these reddit idiots trying to invent tendencies, lol
