Twisty Faster applauds the disappearance of indigenous cultures, or at least she doesn't shed any tears for them.
I Blame The Patriarchy: Fuck Culture: It's tough toenails, but the day is almost upon us when culture will no longer be practiced by isolated pockets of diverse and colorful indigenous natives. I'd say good riddance, too, since culture is just another word for patriarchy. Sadly, what we're getting instead is no great improvement over the quaint crap it replaces. Today's culture is an homogenous, pulsating gray fungus oozing out of TVs and internet porn sites and McDonaldses and Wal-Marts. It reeks of polyester and grease. And male honky domination. If it's eaten away all the naive and picturesque social constructs that everyone loves to imagine are alive and well in other, less complicated parts of the world like Fiji, well, that's too bad, but odds are those dear old traditions were oppressin' somebody. So fuck'em.
To emphasize, she's not happy either with what is replacing local cultures, but she's not willing to go to any length to defend them, since for her that would likely be abetting women's oppression. I have other opinions on this but no time, so I'll just throw this out to the reader.
