Reading through history is like, āoh wow what a cool unique culture!ā Then you get to the part where a missionary shows up and suddenly thereās a civil/holy war that usually obliterates most traces of the old culture

classic. missionaries really said āstop having fun in your own culture, hereās a stitched blouse and some catholic guiltā and then acted surprised when the temples went to shit š

And then they adopt colonizer culture as their own ātraditional valuesā keeping it long after winning the independence.

lmao the way weāre out here guarding ātraditionā with our whole chest while the brits dropped that nonsense decades ago and are now doing psychedelics in yoga pants š
