This article is about a fictional ideology and has no foundation in real life political movements.
Primalism, also called Feralism or Animalism, is an Off-Compass primitivist ideology that believes in the devolution of humanity into a more animalistic state.
"Woof!"
"Humanity is a moral disaster. There would have been much less destruction had we never evolved. The fewer humans there are in the future, the less destruction there will still be."
Primalism is so against human life that any sign of evolutionary development past base survive-or-die animal instinct is considered evil and must be punished.
Primalism could be considered the off-compass extreme form of Anarcho-Primitivism, except taken even further to disassemble society down to primal instincts. They believe that the best path for humanity is backward, evolutionarily speaking.
Types
Types of Primalism are dependent on animal species, for example, Wolves are collectivist and darwinist, cats are individualist, and so on.
Personality and Behavior
Because of its backward evolutionary development, Primalism cannot speak and can only make vague snuffling sounds or other animal noises (depending on the species) that might be translated into readable words. Because of this, Primalism is often used to represent the idea of non-human animals in Polcompball. A lot of animals will have different versions of Primalism depending on their behaviors, such as a cat being Ego-Primalism.
Primalism's eyes are green as they possess reptilian night vision, and because they are generally feral.
