For the 35th episode of the Non Serviam Podcast, host Joel Williamson spoke with Travid Halabout narrative, emancipation, and the tools we use to construct prisons and tear them down. Join us as we take a deep dive into anthropology, archeology, mental health, music, anarchy, and more.

Travid Halton is an anarchist archeologist from Houston, Texas, who comes from a working-class background and got his undergraduate degree in anthropology and biology from the University of Houston. He works as an archaeologist and has done academic archeological work in Scandinavia and across the U.S. with a specialization in the native peoples of the Texas coast. An avid auto-didact, Travid has interests in the Germanic language family, the technologies of pre-industrial people, the history of working-class emancipation, and new art and media that explores the experience of wonder in the human situation. He also was one of the core organizers for an event called Rojava Strong that was covered by Non Serviam Media.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably caught wind of a not-so-trivial event that made headlines in global news recently. After nearly two decades, the United States military has decided to fully withdraw from the occupation of Afghanistan. Despite the US military's extended stay, it has failed in its stated goal of fostering peace and stability in the area and was unable to prevent the inevitable take over by religious fundamentalist, hyper-patriarchal, reactionary forces known as the Taliban. As a result, nearly 6 million Afghans have been forcibly displaced from their homes, 3 million within Afghanistan, and 2.6 million are fleeing capture by militants by seeking refuge in other countries.

There are still many unknowns surrounding the withdrawal and our guest today wrote an article for CrimethInc called Afghanistan: The Taliban Victory in a Global Context; An Anti-Imperial Perspective from a Veteran of the US Occupation (https://crimethinc.com/2021/08/16/afghanistan-the-taliban-victory-in-a-global-context-a-perspective-from-a-veteran-of-the-us-occupation) that largely focused on three major questions: How did the occupation impact the people of Afghanistan? Why were the Taliban able to regain so much territory so quickly? What does the US withdrawal and its consequences tell us about the future and how we might prepare for it? In this episode, we explore these questions and more with someone whose opinions derive from the firsthand experience of, as they called it, “serving the American empire as a foot soldier” for ten whole years.

For the 33rd episode of the podcast, we spoke with Ghost, the creator, and administrator of a project where shit posting meets high propaganda. If the thought of an anarchist meme page with 40,000 followers and post-structural, illegalist characteristics sounds interesting, then you’ll likely enjoy this episode. Join us as we sit down to chat with the talent behind The Ghost Of Ol’ Benjamin Tucker about memes, post-left anarchy, Deleuze and Guattari, work abolition, and a whole lot more.

“Revolutionaries and nomads do not speak to the state, they seek to subvert it creatively”.
