That’s fake Native American shit and they’re singing something about ho’oponopono which is Hawaiian for reconciliation

edit: I just looked it up and the whole song is just English and Hawaiian and they’re clearly not pronouncing the Hawaiian quite right, why, why, why, why :whywhywhywhywhy:

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.

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
