every time i say magic or spiritual, i feel like i have to stop and say “not hippies.” there’s something that feels off about them to me. i don’t trust this
like i go FUCK NO. whatever this is, no
there’s something so white, so beautiful in this particular way, so much talk of social drama while complaining about other people talking about drama, heterosexual plus
it feels like a subculture. one i passed through but am not a part of
reminds me of this lol

Cannot emphasize enough how much "I like big booba" is the animating force behind all trads https://t.co/i9l9Gugcz7
it can be somebody else’s home, but it is not mine. it’s a
friend’s house i visit sometimes. but i would hate to live there
i like them, but i wouldn’t like them if i had to live there
lol 🦋
i feel as terrified at the idea of being stuck in a community like this as married to a wife who cares about playing the conventional nyc status money and house and weekend party games
stuck in someone else’s game, someone else’s lane, that i have no interest in

is this 🦋 sigma grindset

@benefic_venefic just that it doesn’t feel grounded and accepting of me
which is weird to say bc i actually did find a lot of people there grounded, and they largely accept me
i wouldn’t even mind the nyc finance circles then. they’re still just *interesting* people. and i’m free to interact with them any way i want to
turns out people dislike the subculture in question for very different reasons, and i kinda feel protective of it now too

@AskYatharth also, their metaphors are surprisingly good (vibes/etc), they appreciate what they have, maintain a reasonable standard of living, and their aesthetics are pretty good and fun compared to avg
overall their values are pretty good, they just are a bit self-absorbed as a subculture
And Rosa said “it always feels like they’re forcing you to play a game w them, follow the rules of some Spiritual Game—and a game is the opposite of what I’m looking for, I want something *real* I want to know Reality”
@the_wilderless @rosaclewis hot take: when we say "hippie", we're not actually referring to a group of people, we're referring to an archetype (within us all?), that we're in more or less contention w/
It’s just rich bourgoise having fun & fucking around & cosplaying orientalism. It also peaked in UK & France in the 18th & 19th century, it comes & goes, this is just a current version. 😄
