@artjinni08@Anni3ac There can certainly be and often is a level of inauthenticity to movements like paganism but also culture is a performance that can be created purposefully. Crystal ladies are new in the west, but there are def people that have been raised in Crystal culture for example
Chickasaw for language preservation, Mexican-Spanish for socialization and family, and Irish-Gaelic for fun (there’s literally no one around me that I would converse in this with but I do think it would just be cool to know.)
@no1cahokiasimp From what I understood (very little) it seems like she is saying that humans didn’t come from specifically South African and movement in the continent was more varied. Reposter is using that as ‘evidence’ that out-of-Africa is wrong entirely. I’m I close to the mark there or no?
@no1cahokiasimp THANK YOU! It’s so stupid and frustrating. For anyone scrolling by who doesn’t know, the Americas had multiple agricultural revolutions and many fascinating food traditions, that guy was just talking out his ass and using an outdated source to support the presupposition
@Failuresofsocty@Trey_Explainer I believe that’s it’s a reference to how Europeans depicted Iceland in literature.
It used to be a common setting for Victorian adventure stories, where it was see as an isolated frozen hell until it received its flowers later on. Also that’s Bjork as the other commenter said
@no1cahokiasimp For some reason, a lot of cultures seem to passively believe they are the only ones with sarcasm or a good sense of humor. Reminds me of that meme “in my culture we care about family and love food!”
Saw someone call Cahokia a ‘big pile of dirt’ built by ‘savages’. Big talk considering Europeans tripped over themselves trying to claim these same ‘piles’ when they first encountered them. So unimpressive, white academics cooked up a whole mythical race of sailors to take credit
