Life
Kharza was born in the year 2000. He was prompted to start questioning civilisation and technological progress by two main factors: witnessing the gradual degradation of his living surroundings, and the hard times he went through in the education system due to his dyscalculia, realising he's considered "disabled" for something that doesn't hinder him in the slightest outside the system.[2]
His most notable work to date is a piece titled The Myth of Human Weakness that found its way into a zine by Civfucks Distro.[3] Co-authored by the host of Uncivilised podcast A. G. Thoreau, British eco-absurdist philosopher Julian Langer and three others, the zine was endorsed by John Zerzan on his radio show.[4]
Views
Kazimir Kharza views civilisation as fundamentally unsustainable, expansionist, ecocidal, oppressive, unhealthy: these traits make it irredeemable, and opposition to it an urgent necessity. He has likened those clinging onto civilisation to heroin addicts.[2]
