Jensen. Probably the most eminent anarcho-primitivist author at the moment. Yeah he's problematic. He advocates violence while not providing people the resources for legal and other support. Sort of weird idolization of First Nation People (Native Americans). Etc.

According to Jensen the dominant culture of civilization is an abusive relationship that continues to abuse us, monopolize our perception of the world because of extreme jealousy, and has a death urge that will ultimately lead to environmental catastrophe.

"Every day I wake up and wonder whether I should blow up a dam or write. I'm not sure I've made the right choice."

"To pretend that civilization can exist without destroying its own landbase and the landbases and cultures of others is to be entirely ignorant of history, biology, thermodynamics, morality, and self-preservation."

"Bear a hatred long enough and it no longer feels like hatred. It feels like economics; it feels like religion; it feels like "the way things are;" it feels like the erotic."

Football, Etc. - "First Down"

Very new self described revolution summer-esque post-hardcore band from Houston, Texas. Definitely does that clean discordant sound well. There's no posturing here, no effort to impress. Simple honest lyrics, that are vindictive as hell. There are just four tracks on this demo, but it's renewed my interest in post-hardcore. I can't wait for them to record a full length.
