'Ted K' is a 2021 biographic movie about Ted Kaczynski (aka the Unabomber), that's garnered a lot of attention, but I don't think it is sufficiently accurate and lies by omission. I get the impression they tried to portray Kaczynski as less intelligent, and overly focused on his struggles with love-life at the expense of activities related to his anti-tech ideology. ➤ WEBSITE: https://kharza.net/ SOCIAL MEDIA: ➔ Tumblr: https://kazimirkharza.tumblr.com/ ➔ Twitter: https://twitter.com/KazimirKharza ➔ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/KazimirKharza/ ➔ Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/kazimir ➔ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kazimirkharza

Clarifying my anti-tech position by dissecting a toaster. A toaster is not an innocent technology that exists independently of the rest of the technological society, but is its direct manifestation. Ergo, we can't pick and choose when it comes to opposing the technological system. ➤ WEBSITE: https://kharza.net/ SOCIAL MEDIA: ➔ Tumblr: https://kazimirkharza.tumblr.com/ ➔ Twitter: https://twitter.com/KazimirKharza ➔ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/KazimirKharza/ ➔ Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/kazimir ➔ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kazimirkharza

In light of recent release of Dune: Part Two, I decided to talk about the likely real-life origins of Butlerian Jihad in the Dune lore, a holy war against thinking machines. Samuel Butler was a 19th century novelist who saw machines as a threat to human freedom and advocated an anti-tech revolution. ➤ PODCAST: https://linktr.ee/wildautonomy SOCIAL MEDIA: ➔ Tumblr: https://kazimirkharza.tumblr.com/ ➔ Twitter: https://twitter.com/KazimirKharza ➔ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/KazimirKharza/ ➔ Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/kazimir ➔ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kazimirkharza

A bit late as always, but here's the list of my top 3 favourite books I've read in 2023. 'Health And the Rise of Civilization' by Mark Nathan Cohen takes the top place, 'The Solutions are Already Here' by Peter Gelderloos was second best, and 'Desert Solitaire' by late Edward Abbey third. ➤ WEBSITE: https://kharza.net/ SOCIAL MEDIA: ➔ Tumblr: https://kazimirkharza.tumblr.com/ ➔ Twitter: https://twitter.com/KazimirKharza ➔ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/KazimirKharza/ ➔ Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/kazimir ➔ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kazimirkharza

'How to Blow Up a Pipeline' is a 2022 action movie directed by Daniel Goldhaber. It was inspired by Andreas Malm's book with the same title. Both the book and the film share a message of encouraging eco-sabotage, but the movie has some deeply worrying faults. ➤ PODCAST: https://linktr.ee/wildautonomy SOCIAL MEDIA: ➔ Tumblr: https://kazimirkharza.tumblr.com/ ➔ Twitter: https://twitter.com/KazimirKharza ➔ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/KazimirKharza/ ➔ Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/kazimir ➔ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kazimirkharza DISCLAIMER: This video does not attempt to encourage or incite any kind of illegal activity.

I'm pleased to announce that I'll soon be starting a series of video lectures on deep ecology philosophy, anti-technology and anti-civilization theory, radical environmentalism, anarchy, etc. I decided to take up such a project because I see both: a demand and a necessity for such content to be made. ➤ WEBSITE: https://kharza.net/ SOCIAL MEDIA: ➔ Tumblr: https://kazimirkharza.tumblr.com/ ➔ Twitter: https://twitter.com/KazimirKharza ➔ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/KazimirKharza/ ➔ Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/kazimir ➔ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kazimirkharza

Yesterday, on the 10th of June 2023, Ted Kaczynski, also known as the Unabomber, was found dead in his prison cell. I have some things to say, so here we go.

Many media outlets like Time and Vice have recently reported on Taliban's confessions where they express severe discontent with living the everyday life within the confines of industrial civilization, and I argue this was to be expected and is a general global trend. ➤ WEBSITE: https://kharza.net/ SOCIAL MEDIA: ➔ Tumblr: https://kazimirkharza.tumblr.com/ ➔ Twitter: https://twitter.com/KazimirKharza ➔ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/KazimirKharza/ ➔ Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/kazimir ➔ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kazimirkharza

Theodore John Kaczynski, better known as the Unabomber, is not just who the media portrays him as - he's also a philosopher and theorist commonly associated with anarcho-primitivism and neoluddism. This guide is made to clear up misconceptions and confusion surrounding his literary works; for those interested in his ideas rather than the surrounding spectacle. ➤ WEBSITE: https://kharza.net/ SOCIAL MEDIA: ➔ Tumblr: https://kazimirkharza.tumblr.com/ ➔ Twitter: https://twitter.com/KazimirKharza ➔ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/KazimirKharza/ ➔ Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/kazimir ➔ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kazimirkharza DISCLAIMER: This video is not an endorsement of any violent acts.

We often hear things like "civilisation needs to be saved from _," but do we really want to save civilization? Once one thinks about what civilisation really is, it quickly becomes obvious that it's nothing worth saving - it's more like things need saving FROM civilisation. ➤ WEBSITE: https://kharza.net/ SOCIAL MEDIA: ➔ Tumblr: https://kazimirkharza.tumblr.com/ ➔ Twitter: https://twitter.com/KazimirKharza ➔ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/KazimirKharza/ ➔ Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/kazimir ➔ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kazimirkharza

John Zerzan, the most prominent anarcho-primitivist theorist and philosopher, has written many books; this is often a cause for confusion among newcomers who don't know where to start.

I explain why I consider Sigmund Freud, more specifically his 1930 book Civilisation and Its Discontents, to be completely useless. My biggest issue is that Freud's starting point of analysis is the Hobbesian myth. ➤ WEBSITE: https://kharza.net/ SOCIAL MEDIA: ➔ Tumblr: https://kazimirkharza.tumblr.com/ ➔ Twitter: https://twitter.com/KazimirKharza ➔ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/KazimirKharza/ ➔ Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/kazimir ➔ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kazimirkharza

➤ DEFEND THE ATLANTA FOREST website: https://defendtheatlantaforest.org/ ➤ DAF Linktree: https://linktr.ee/DefendAtlantaForest From the website: "We have the highest percentage of tree canopy of any major metropolitan area in America. Our canopy is the main factor in ensuring Atlanta’s resiliency in the face of climate change. The forest in Southeast Atlanta is home to wetlands that filter rainwater and prevent flooding. It is also one of the last breeding grounds for many amphibians in the region, as well as an important migration site for wading birds. The history of this particular land is deeply scarred. In the 1800s shortly after the land was stolen from Muscogee Creek peoples, it was used as a plantation. In the early 1900s, a prison farm was opened where inmates were forced to perform unpaid agricultural labor, marking the rebranding of slavery into for profit prison labor. The Atlanta Police Department currently uses this hallowed ground as a firing range. This forest is at risk of destruction as the police and Hollywood make plans to pave over Atlanta’s largest remaining green space. The Atlanta Police Department seeks to turn 300 acres of forest into a tactical training compound featuring a mock city. This project was announced to the shock of community members who had been given no opportunity to weigh in on the proposal. The entire process has been shadier than the forest itself. Intrenchment Creek is an existing public park adjacent to the Prison Farm. Dekalb County seeks to swap this land with Blackhall Studios (now rebranded as “Shadowbox Studios”), a major film production company. Blackhall wants to clear cut 170 acres of forest to develop into an airport and erect the largest sound stage in America. This project would cement Atlanta as the new Hollywood, making the cost of living in our city outrageous. We refuse to let our forest be bulldozed in favor of the police and sold out to Hollywood. There are many forms of action and advocacy to be taken. This is a broad, decentralized, autonomous movement. Get involved in whatever ways move you." #atlanta #acab

In late 2022 I was interviewed by a student of an unnamed university for a short documentary that revolved mostly around my calls to dismantle civilisation, people's reactions to my ideas, and the ecological issues we face in these times. The film was never properly released; featured here is just the segment where I'm interviewed. I spoke in Slovene, but have provided English subtitles. WEBSITE: https://kharza.net/

Biomass is not what is commonly reffered to as "green energy." Biomass is made mostly of trees, and trees are made out of carbon they get from the air. Burning biomass is just as bad as coal, but on top of that it contributes to deforeststion, something we really don't need in this day and age. We need to realise that civilised ways of life are fundamentally unsustainable, and not fall for greenwashing efforts of corporations. ➤ WEBSITE: https://kharza.net/ SOCIAL MEDIA: ➔ Tumblr: https://kazimirkharza.tumblr.com/ ➔ Twitter: https://twitter.com/KazimirKharza ➔ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/KazimirKharza/ ➔ Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/kazimir ➔ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kazimirkharza

Clearing up some of the questions people have had about the direction I've taken this channel into.

I don't like the professional aura of contemporary online content creation, and don't want to follow that path. I want to actually enjoy myself - crazy, right? I don't want to contribute to rising social media/content consumption addiction. I've been writing a lot during my free time. I also plan on starting a podcast, and I thought making short unscripted videos would be good to practice off-the-cuff speaking.

I watched James Cameron's new 2022 movie, Avatar: The Way of Water this week, and I have some thoughts on it, perhaps a bit unorthodox for a movie review, but oh well... I was interested in analysing this film in terms of its relevancy to the current global environmental crisis. ➤ WEBSITE: https://kharza.net/ SOCIAL MEDIA: ➔ Tumblr: https://kazimirkharza.tumblr.com/ ➔ Twitter: https://twitter.com/KazimirKharza ➔ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/KazimirKharza/ ➔ Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/kazimir ➔ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kazimirkharza TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Intro 00:30 - The good things 03:24 - A sinister hunch 05:07 - Cultural catastrophe(s) 08:24 - Anti-speciesism done poorly 13:24 - Hopes for the future 14:54 - Outro
