Why is authenticity so offensive (English)? | Orania Blog
We are already accustomed to hateful and snide articles 17 magazine for years comments about Orania, usually coming from journalists and people who like themselves as "globalized", quite a bit of them Africans (or Afrikaans-speaking South Africans to their own politically correct term to use).
There is usually 3 hoofbeskuldigings at Orania: The first accusation of "racism". It has been Jaco Kleynhans and other extensively and authoritatively answered. The second is usually "isolation", it has been discussed and proved ridiculous.
A third accusation that a little more difficult to understand and even more irrational than the above two, the accusation of authenticity. This is odd, because other than racism and isolation that is seen as negative, authenticity actually usually something positive happen. However, there many journalists or self-proclaimed storm troopers of the rainbow nation with sadistic pleasure relase write about why they are not in a place to stay where "old men with kakiebroeke and aunts with Voortrekkerrokke coffee on the porch drinking and koeksisters eat Sunday all church and the only entertainment dance play and jukskei, "spit out words with contempt as if they were obscene.
That clearly despised globalists who own and wondered what strange. The irony of it is that they are authentic or sometime authentic things and habits from Europe or the Far East to take over in the search for a opgelapte "worldliness", like sushi or latte macchiato or chai tea.
What would that globalists Japanese suddenly feel that sushi outdated and suddenly started koeksisters and gaargebraaide eating skaapribbetjies to show how globally them? Whether the Indians they "chai" despised and now everyone want to drink rooibos tea because it is "modern". It sounds absurd and yet this is exactly what the globalists. Rooibos, interestingly enough, in Europe and the U.S. the big fashion for a year or two (as any fashion, 17 magazine short-lived), the same rooibos the globalists certainly despised 17 magazine as "fashioned plaastannietee". And the globalists realize that koeksisters 17 magazine originally from "exotic" Indonesia, they might suddenly viewed with renewed interest and admiration.
The absurdity goes even further. The same globalists that what authentically their own culture is despised, travel the world with the quest for authenticity of people: Tuareg cultural festivals 17 magazine in Mali, Ovahimbas in their cages in Namibia, Tibetan monks in the Himalayas, Hindu priests in India , a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony, buikdansvertonings Arabia, Scottish highland games etc.. Naspers contribute sympathetic described. For example, a Tuareg cultural festival as "obstinate, behind the stone, in opposition to the multi-cultural society, discriminating against non-Tuareg, 17 magazine keep track of the time, etc." describing would be almost unthinkable. How can you authentic looking and admired by other people and simultaneously despise 17 magazine your own people?
Do not be a sign of an emptiness, if you do not own cultural identity, and it must be replaced by a superficial mishmash identity of some aspects of other people's habits? I do not have an answer, maybe a psychologist can explain.
Perhaps this is in part an overcompensation 17 magazine of the Afrikaner globalists in the 1970s grew up with Christian National Education and sanctions, now a sort of delayed rebellion all to admire from outside come and own despised and on Orania out of it than imagined representative of they hated own past.
If you rediscover the lost cultural 17 magazine habits of your people and to live in a contemporary way, then it not only fulfilled as a person 17 magazine and build a relationship with your people, but it also gives you renewed appreciation for other people who do the same .
We are not alone in rediscovering the authentic. All peoples have gone through 17 magazine and are at different stages: first the traditional stage, which some pre-modern cultures have experience 17 magazine doing this because they know and have no access to the global market. The response on the other hand, to despise your own and everything else out and come to embrace. Many countries, especially in the semi-modernized oorgangsamelewings South Africa, where traditional and modern next to each other, is currently in phase ("Coke better than bokmelkjogurt") and our own Afrikaner globalists. This is followed by the third stage the rediscovery of self and authentic of your culture if it were recreated. Some European minority peoples are undergoing as they realized that the embrace of globalization destroy 17 magazine their culture. The popularity of folk dances, crafts and even learning slide
