If they grew up in the Midwest this type of person would be leading a praise band and selling essential oils to keep minorities away. Wtf is up with these neo-hippies. Aren’t they afraid that maybe mixing prayer and healing practices from cultures that aren’t their own might anger the metaphysical forces in those cultures?

They are protestants at heart, religion is all about them.

That’s exactly it. They think they are already saved, and simply must worship in a fulfilling way. Everyone else just has to learn from them.

White American culture provides nothing but consumerism to fill the void in us all, so they look to others instead of looking within themselves

Ever been to a “contemporary museum”? Not like a modern art gallery, but a museum with artifacts from now. I’ve never been so overcome with a feeling of monotonous dread.

Reminds me of the quote from a high ranking person in Iran. I can’t find it, but he basically said that they would have to bomb a McDonald’s because the US has no other significant cultural sites.

There’s some irony in the colonizer eventually depending on the colonized to provide them with culture and meaning

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.

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.

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.
