Against War-Thinking
From Eco-Revolt by Julian Langer
Throughout the larger portion of my life I have observed the spectacles of war, usually focused on those pertaining to conflicts in the middle east, with horror and revolt.

Artxmis is joined by Julian Langer, guest from Episodes 9, 15, 19. He recently wrote “Revolting: Eco-Absurdist Rebellion” (Active Distributions) His other works are the three “Feral” books, short stories such as “Mesodma”, several essays and poems. We discuss existentialism, absurdism, Julian’s thoughts on anarcho-primitivism, and more!
From Free Spirit Anarchist Journal
From the outset, it seems obvious that it would be impossible to reduce eco- anarchist praxes to what may be written and recorded for anyone to read, in the same way that it is impossible for any individual to visit a river and write down all that there is in the river. As such, even as a “brief introduction”, this can only fail to do justice to the subject matter.

Since Julian Langer and I have passionately decided to air out our dirty laundry for the world to smell, might as well give a little background.
This book is largely an attempt to voice a rebel praxis that is hostile towards and revolted by the annihilation of the living that is Leviathan’s daily normality. Subjects explored throughout the pieces contained within include reason, negation and nihilism, gender, work, story telling, domestication, folk, diaspora, death camp resistance, revolutions, games, love, mass extinction, culls, dialectics and dialogues, separation and co-existence, and poetry. There are also autobiographical aspects to the writing and points of reflecting on my previous writings.
From Eco-Revolt
“[F]eral” is liminal in the sense that it is being-between-oneness-and-Oneness. This affirmation of the Oneness of the wild world and the oneness of being-animal (animal as singular), alongside the splitting born from the illusion of the separation of civilisation from life, is what I mean by “feral”.

I was invited to take part in Anti-University Festival this year, to talk about anti-cull praxis and the booklet I did with Forged Books. So we recorded a conversation and then the next day I recorded an additional clip, following the news of the expanded cull zone in Devon.
I hadn’t read anything by Flower Bomb for quite a while, until yesterday, but yesterday I read their piece Egoist Vegan: Some Thoughts on an Individualist Animal Liberation and feel to respond directly to the piece here. Before I do so, I want to make it clear that I am not seeking to attack any individual (or lifestyle) (not even Flower Bomb) for not living an ideal or puritanically ethically perfect life, especially given the context of attempting to survive amidst the humiliation and brutality of this planetary death camp – even outside of this context, I don’t believe such an ideal or pure-ethical-life is real. I am entirely oriented towards radical-individualism as radical-pluralism/diversity (in a non-anthropocentric sense) and feel inclined towards affirming different means of survival within this context.

Today we have returning champion Julian Langer on the show to discuss two of his new pieces of writing: a book entitled "Bretannike Rebellion" and a review of the Predator sequel, Prey.

[This is being published in an upcoming pamphlet with the first section, through Forged Books.]
Last night I woke up at 3am, full of thoughts that I am going to seek to communicate here, as a second part to my My Anti-Cull Philosophy. Part of my intention for writing this in this way goes with plans for the first part to go in a collection, with some anti-totalitarian poetry. Unlike the first part, this section has one key idea of focus – the link between cull ideology and totalitarianism.
