Capitalism colonized european indigenous peoples first and stole our identity and culture and replaced it with capitalist consumerism. So of course white people grope around for some type of cultural identity.

Making fun of white people for this is not helpful. Using their search to critique capitalism and colonialism is.

Destroy civilization.

I think this is a really good take. Like yeah these people are cringe but I can understand why they reach for indigenous peoples traditions and beliefs.

It’s a similar thing with white Americans getting really into whatever European culture their great great whatever grandparents came from. American culture is so bereft of purpose and interest and meaningful history that yeah, why not reach for something else.

In a better world, this would be a symptom of egalitarian class struggle.

In this world, it’s just a couple of trust-fund brats promoting their Etsy store full of cheaply sourced kitsch jewelry.
