Primal Anarchy Podcast, Episode 27: Interview with Klee Benally
April 18, 2021

In this episode, Natasha and Kevin have a lengthy discussion with Klee Benally of Indigenous Action (indigenousaction.org). Klee needs little introduction, but he’s been involved for decades in a number of campaigns and projects, offering a long standing critical voice and role at the forefront of anticolonial resistance. We clear the air about issues in the anti-civilization milieu and about the interplay of accomplices and resistance. The nature of colonialism and civilization. Unsettling, decolonization, anticolonialism, and landback.

B&G Podcast 14: Cults and Personalities

B&G Podcast 14: Cults and Personalities
Sept. 24, 2018

A brief response on a 1991 school book on explorers. Focusing on cults and how civilization demands people be broken via domestication. Starting with the NXIVM cult. Reading from ‘Society Without Strangers’ and talk of neoteny. How primal anarchy shapes us, how domestication breaks us, how civilization requires us to be broken, and how cults and gurus can come in to prey on the remnants. Yoga gurus and sexual predation. Other human failures. And the reaping of toxic masculinity among Operation Werewolf and other parasites.
