What is this strange appeal I feel for grown adults (like me) who go to great IRL lengths, often investing and even asking for\charging ,money  trough means such as: stolen valour, fake heraldic titles, bogus martial arts\mcdojo or bullshido cults..in latin america. there are dozens of fake orthodox priests (because orthodox is "exotic and mysteries", since it's a very minor religion ,so there's not much people to check with about specific guys).
Do they do it for fun? for profit; but they do a lousy job and push the lies FAR too much...
Are they getting some perverse satisfaction over duping idiots, or does the boner arise from their Persona being grander and grander?

Im pretty sure I have just discovered some sort-some deep rabbit hole- of an international alliance of: Bullshido grandmasters awarding each other trinkets and BS titles, stolen valor(possibly russophile cults, or other Woo--woo CHI cults), fake Nobility titles or heraldic organizations.
Im sure some of them train armed thugs or mafia, because there are 2 guys teaching tactical breaching(knocking down doors like SWAT in movies), but I looked up their info, names, in police dpt. database..and 0 info. So, guys who have never been cops are giving swat breaching courses, very SUS

What absolutely gets me is the belts - they're extremely and at the same time you can see they have no idea how to tie it in a neat way.

>with more showmanship and less mysteric\initiatic traditions
The thing is, mcdojo exists for showmanship, titles, hierarchies, diplomas and other such thing precisely because the real martial arts schools are more concerned with physical exercise than with cool uniforms. It's a subversion of a fraternal association that removes its inner essence but allows you to keep the visual flare.

I had been interested in pilgrimages (any religion, really, to see the Flow Effect en masse-experience, I guess)for a time, BUT I was violently disappointed by how extremely commercial and touristy (non-ascetic) the "packs" are. All fancy, cushy, no vettos of pilgrim's faithfulness..Use of TRANSPORT! (!!)
Even different School's most sacred items are up for sale (Gohonzon of nichirenism, catholics relics -all of withwhich are fake, tho).This ironically makes me believe more in the Bible- Pauline epistles of "love of money is the root of all evil".

One must understand the strange relationship religion has with mass society. It's really only a dressing on top, for most people. Well, at least in this capitalist hellscape.
Religion won't put fish and bread on the table. Eris won't give you shelter and certainly not security. Material reality ultimately dominates spirituality, at least among the living who have survived. And so, religion becomes secondary to the economy and its superstructure; its culture.

So yes, for millions the pilgrimage slowly becomes "oh its that thing we have to do so we aren't damned", or worse, "oh honey look at those weird people *siiiiip*".
And we don't FUCKING talk about **mas. For what it's worth, there's nothing authentic about that holiday in the first place, but nonetheless it's a clear demonstration of how compromised the typical "follower" can be.

It's amazing how money can pervert all kinds of contradictory things. I don't fully understand, beyond the basic theme of political recuperation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recuperation_%28politics%29
Look at anticapitalist grifters. Their fans should clearly know better!
Camping -> Glamping - what's the fucking point? Just get a hotel you prick.
Just look what they did to San Fransisco. The Emperor Norton would have razed the place had he seen this future. Even their hippie festivals like Burning Pope are gentrified.
Religions aren't special, and it looks like only the inner circles and cults can escape this commercial deterioration.

People say money corrupts, as in the idea that possessing wealth somehow changes you. It's a fucking joke. Of course not, idiot. I know people who have come into wealth through luck or social lottery rather than choice and if anything they're embarrassed by it and share some around, not much else. A healthy socialized human feels guilt when they deprive others. Look at the Pineapple Fund. That's a functional person. That's what happens when a pope accidentally becomes a multi-millioniare. No, it's the inverse. corruption is how those people come into money. No-one "earns" a billion dollars, the only people who deserve millions of dollars generally end up penniless. You either exploit others or inherit it, and it's rare that the first lot (or even the second) have a chance at redemption.

>No-one "earns" a billion dollars
This is true.
>the only people who deserve millions of dollars generally end up penniless
Eh, I don't think this is true. Many decent people do quite well for themselves, although they almost never become ultra-wealthy. Meanwhile many awful people find that being a conniving backstabber gets them nowhere in life. I think that, up to the point where the marginal gain of more wealth becomes zero (around $1-10 million), wealth is almost uncorrelated with awfulness. The reason why the ultra-wealthy are usually awful is because something is broken in their heads where they feel the need to accumulate more wealth than they can possibly use. Really, extreme wealth should be considered a form of mental illness.
>You either exploit others or inherit it
You have to vastly expand the definition of "exploit" to include tons of abstract stuff if you want this to be true. You can definitely make money in a way where nobody in the process considers themselves to be treated unfairly. In fact, if nobody is getting the shit end of the stick but you're still making profit, it means that your business is fulfilling a genuine niche instead of being a parasitic drag on society as most capitalist businesses do.

<Korla Pandit
>After moving to California in the late 1940s and getting involved in show business, Redd became known as "Korla Pandit", claimed as a French-Indian musician from New Delhi, India. However, Redd was actually a light-skinned African-American man from Missouri who passed as a native of India.

>Two years after Pandit's death, R.J. Smith, magazine editor of Los Angeles, published an article revealing Pandit's true ancestry.
>During his life, Pandit kept in touch with his family of origin, but he wore his turban and did not bring his sons when visiting with them. According to Pandit's nephew, Ernest Redd, "Among the family we knew what he was doing and very little was said about it. There was times when he would come by, and it was kind of like a sneak visit. He might come at night sometime and be gone before we got up. He had to separate himself from the family to a certain extent. They would go to see him play, but they wouldn't speak to him. They would go to his show and then they would leave, and the family would greet him at a later time". Having met members of Pandit's extended family of origin, Stanford historian Allyson Hobbs wrote his family "felt he was very authentic and were very close to him". Pandit's sons heard rumors about their father's African-American background, but they rejected this information, insisting their father was the son of a New Delhi Brahmin. Shari died of cancer in December 2000, prior to the publication of Smith's exposé.

<Nkechi Amare Diallo
Nkechi Amare Diallo (born Rachel Anne Dolezal [still using that name in professional life]) is an American former college instructor and activist known for presenting herself as a black woman, while also being born to white parents.

>Dolezal was president of the NAACP chapter in Spokane, Washington, from 2014 until June 2015, when she resigned in the midst of controversy over her racial identity. She was the subject of public scrutiny when her parents publicly stated that she was pretending to be black but was actually white. 

>[...] Her brother Ezra Dolezal [] compared his sister's behavior to blackface and said "she's basically creating more racism"

>In a February 2017 interview with The Guardian, Dolezal reasoned that race is more fluid than gender because race is an entirely social construct. She stated, "I feel that I was born with the essential essence of who I am, whether it matches my anatomy and complexion or not ... I've never questioned being a girl or woman, for example, but whiteness has always felt foreign to me, for as long as I can remember." She added, "I didn't choose to feel this way or be this way, I just am. What other choice is there than to be exactly who we are?" Critics took issue with Dolezal's logic. The Guardian columnist Claire Hynes wrote, "Dolezal is correct to argue that race is largely a social construct rather than a science", but "what defines people of colour is a limited ability to control how we are viewed, and a lack of freedom to 'write our own stories'."

To whom it may concern,

We at the Horny Teens Association of Zealand (HTAZ) take issue at this inflammatory message in your attached image. While we're sure this was "simply" a sniggering remark at the expense of our boy membership, these anti-social microaggressions have a real toll on the esteem of the teenage boy demographic. This can lead to self-image disorders, depression and isolation. Did you know that suicide is one of the top five killers of teenagers in our country? Perhaps you'd do well to remember that next time you lob generalized hate messages towards teenage boys.

The NTAZ is a grassroots movement which endeavors to create a safe media environment for our youth. Consider donating today.
