@LiberalLibrarian They can’t just say hiking isn’t their cup of tea? πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

@LiberalLibrarian someone doesn't want to go hiking, I guess.

"Don't go to a movie because it indicates a waste of time and feeds into the bourgeois consumption! No social anything, only work.

Gee, she's on social media (the hellsite bird, no less), isn't she? Isn't that also a part of the bourgeois consumption?

@LiberalLibrarian

"I learned some new words today. Here they are in no particular order: ..."

@LiberalLibrarian

β€œDo you think indigenous people went on hikes?”

Of course they did. You learn from nature and the surest way to die is not learn what will kill you.

How do you think hunter gatherers found food? Magic? A lobe in their brain? Or did it just wander into their open mouths? πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

City people.

@LiberalLibrarian

I.e., if we make nature a scary word that people aren't allowed to talk about for fear of seeming 'bourgeois,' then we can happily destroy it without anybody being able to complain.

The idea is that if you can control language you can control outcomes.

@LiberalLibrarian Sure sounds like the other knob end of the horseshoe to me. "Nonproductive free time is BAD/BOURGEOIS, you should be working."

The extremes really are nearly indistinguishable from each other.

@LiberalLibrarian I snarked back that they were telling me they didn't know any indigenous people without telling me they didn't know any indigenous people. Then quoted a nimiipuu (Nez Perce) elder that I heard say "We traveled everywhere, and visited other peoples. We were travellers."
