#y'all love throwing around the word 'indigenous' to prove your point but all you do is showcase your ignorance

idk call me crazy but maybe cottagecore isn’t an evil White (TM) propaganda machine in its essence, and maybe some of us just like the idea of a house in a village, or by the woods, away from this nightmarish existance, with appreciation towards our native folklore, perhaps particularly those of us who’s countries have been fucking decimated by economic, political and/or social devastation in the past century :)

Edit since this is getting popular: this has nothing to do with the North American “untouched land“ ideal. I’m literally talking about village life in places where the locals have been for millenia, accross the world, not America, and not solely Europe. This is a reaction specifically to the claim that such ways of life are inherently colonialist, capitalist or white supremacist - there’s been comparisons with the WW2 “farm for aryan glory“ propaganda and shit like that.

Edit 2: about the tags

These tags are specifically in reference to Americans refering to one group as “indigenous” to Europe, on a purely racial basis. The same basis that nazis used to determine that that same group deserved to be exterminated - a handful of common physical features. They are not the only group that deserves visibility and respect, and reparrations.

I don’t expect Americans to know, let alone care, about the nuance of ethnic tension and discrimination outside the USA. The point was applying the absolutely same lens, with no thought to the actual history or social dynamics to all of them.At that point it wasn’t even about cottagecore (it’s a dumb trend, whatever) so much as US-centricism.
