If I pretend to be Tibetan because my hippie orientalism causes me to mystify foreign cultures, I can relieve the existential burdens of capitalism on myself while not challenging my class position or material conditions. As long as this slavemaster exists, I can assume he has ancient supernatural wisdom because he speaks a different language and dresses silly and then use that as my identity.

Coutnerpoint: western mysticism is good because it allows people in these coutnries to scam ignorant western hippies and weirdos.
