that makes sense thank you. yeah I remember watching end:civ a while ago and googling Derrick jensen oh boy. also whenever I've seen zerzan speaking he seems like such a lovely dude so I appreciate that recommendation

You are welcome. It wasn't a recommendation so much as a clarification - anarcho-primitivism (AP) imo has substantial issues in its main developed forms, like Zerzan's.

Bellamy wrote a book called Corrosive Consciousness as a kind of blunt egoist critique that might be useful for you. Bellamy's work has problems too but his critiques of AP are useful. Might be better even just to listen to a podcast he's done on the book

AP's complicated by the fact that it relied a lot on anthropology, which is a disaster of a discipline that's persistently scraping itself together because it got humpty dumptied by anticolonial and poststructuralist critique.

Anyway, just some thoughts
