Y'all will really defend religion yet completely dismiss shifting amongst other things like astrology. Fetishism for ancient traditions and aversion to the new era of spiritualism is what this is
At least religion has communities built around it and ceremonies meant to impart morals and values upon its practitioners. Not all healthy communities or good values but I can at least see how these structures can be used for social good.
Woo stuff is just like a bunch of fan fiction writers taking their creations way too seriously.
No they don't, they literally just post shit online, they can also be toxic as fuck. I've seen astrology nerds telling people to leave their partners cuz they're a "Taurus" or whatever, or telling people they're inherently petty or vengeful cuz of their sign. I don't see what support people are getting from this community besides having a tool to rationalize their vague vibes about themselves and others.
I feel like bringing up indigenous peoples when I'm referring to hippies is like bringing up indigenous peoples' meat inclusive diet to people saying carnism is bad

Woo woos have the strongest communities especially when they're geeking out hard on nothing but love and good vibes
No lol, those communities are incredibly cliquey and full of petty drama shit, even at the best of times. At the worst of times they're openly hostile
That applies to traditional religious communities too.

I want you to reflect on just how fucked up this is from any indigenous perspective.
Shit post.

No the entire thread was "all religion, all spirituality, is exactly like astrology and new age woo woo shit" and that's an infantile take.
yeah, it's all trash.
