I'm more punk and anarchist than patriot skinhead, this song is very good and matches my main beliefs and rebellious spirit and whatnot.
I'd say I mostly got mixed feelings about it.
I really liked the idea of anarcho primitivism when first hearing about it, I even like the flag/colors, green and black for anarcho primitivism. But I thought it was something different, maybe my idea of what it was, is still correct or maybe not?
I like the idea of being an anarchist and living a self-reliant, off-grid lifestyle, kind of like an 18th- or 19th-century trapper or wilderness survivalist—using traps, basic firearms, tools and real primitive outdoor and hunting and outdoor skills—instead of literally going back to BC and living in a cave.
That's 100% still possible and more realistic than living like people did several thousand years ago.
Trappers were like the cave people and primitivist of their time and in a more modern way that makes sense.
Like I said it'd be 100% possible to be that way today but we live in such a hyper corporate world and society now it's almost impossible.
Primitive skills are very good skills to have, Many people still have the skills and know how to live off grid and primitive like , especially people in the Country, Appalachia and other places.
Some people actually do live off grid , I don't think they identify with anarchy or rebellion even though those two would go perfectly together. Unless that's what anarcho primitivist are?
The system doesn't encourage that at all and in ways it's illegal, wouldn't living that way now be a form of anarchy/rebellion?
I first thought of an Anarcho Primitivist as someone who rejects the modern digital grid—smartphones, algorithms, corporate jobs, and dependence on global supply chains—while still appreciating rugged, mechanical tools and practical skills. That’s the kind of lifestyle that I thought most anarcho primitivists are about?
I'm not that big of a fan of Arresting Officers, so it hardly affects me. I think everything this guy is saying could be true, but at the same time, it also seems like BS. I'm genuinely curious now.
I didn't think they were neo-Nazis. I didn't even think they were racist. I knew they were on the more controversial side—maybe racialists or even white nationalists.
Neo-Nazi and racist bands could say whatever they wanted in their songs. They didn't have to avoid racist lyrics if they were on White Power or Rock-O-Rama Records. If a band avoided those kinds of lyrics while on those types of record labels, that usually suggested they weren't actually racist or neo-Nazis.
As far as I know, Arresting Officers never really had racist lyrics.
I know who Arresting Officers are because I discovered various punk and Oi! bands on YouTube and whatnot.
For some reason, I assumed the name "Arresting Officers" meant arresting cops—a play on the way police arrest people. I took it as a kind of anti-establishment name.
Their songs "Disorderly Conduct" and "Don't You Wish" are pretty anti-establishment and not necessarily pro-police. A band with songs like those naming themselves after the police seems ridiculous, in my opinion.
