The Sweetness of Cultural Suicide

People without roots don't fight back. That's why they cut yours. You think losing your culture happened naturally? You think forgetting your family's stories, abandoning your traditions, and feeling ashamed of your ancestors' ways is just "progress"? Wake up.

This was done to you. Deliberately. Systematically. Because people who remember where they came from don't obey as easily as people who don't.

Want to control a population? Here's how:

First, falsify their past. Make it look stupid. "Your grandparents were backwards. Your traditions are oppressive. Your cultural practices are primitive." Don't destroy their heritage—make them embarrassed to claim it.

Then, replace meaning with their own narrative. "Don't find identity through your people—get it from our TV shows. Don't get wisdom from your elders—purchase it from our experts. Don't belong to your community—join our artificial platforms."

Finally, weaponize their shame. Make them compete to prove how much they've "evolved" beyond their origins. Make cultural pride feel like moral failure.

The result? A generation that knows more about Marvel characters than their own bloodline.

The western colonizer long figured out that people without cultural memory will accept any replacement identity you give them.

When you don't know how your grandfather survived the partition, you'll depend on the memory approved by others. When you don't carry your grandmother's wisdom about raising children, you'll have to buy parenting products. When you don't read your culture's life wisdom from your ancient books, you'll consume their self-help content.

Rootless people don't resist—they comply.
They don't question—they consume.
They don't create—they purchase.
They don't build communities—they join platforms.
They don't pass down wisdom—they repeat viral content.

Most crucially: they can't recognize tyranny because they never learned what freedom looked like. Besides there's another layer to this strategy.

Cultural destruction isn't just ideological—it also has an economic impact. People with strong roots make terrible customers. They already know who they are. They have community support systems. They inherited solutions to life's problems. They don't need to buy identity, meaning, or belonging. But people without roots? Perfect consumers.

Every tradition that is eliminated becomes a market opportunity. Every cultural practice destroyed becomes a service they can sell back to you. Like turmeric latte. And Yoga.

Your ancestors had knowledge about conflict resolution, child-rearing, and finding purpose. Now it's packaged up and sold back to you as 'innovation.' The sellers? People who wouldn't last a day in the world your grandparents navigated.

The Lie They Sold You

"Starting fresh makes you free," they said. "Don't let tradition limit you. Create your own identity. Embrace change."

Nonsensical.

When you abandon your inheritance, you don't become free—you become available. Available for programming. Available for whatever system needs compliant workers who mistake following orders for making choices.

Open your eyes and you can see it all around you: people who mock their grandparents' "outdated" values while adopting corporate values without question. People who reject ancestral "superstitions" while believing whatever their algorithm feeds them. People who abandon cultural practices as "backwards" while following influencer advice like gospel.

People with roots don't need their systems. That's why they work so hard to make you forget.

How to Take Back What's Yours

Stop apologizing for your ancestors. Stop letting authorities decide which parts of your heritage are "acceptable." Stop waiting for permission to claim your inheritance.

Find the stories they convinced you were embarrassing. Learn the practices they labeled backwards. Understand the values they called oppressive. Not because everything old is automatically good, but because everything they want you to forget is worth examining.

They're counting on you to mistake amnesia for enlightenment. They're betting you'll choose the comfort of rootlessness over the responsibility of inheritance.

The systems of control are banking on your cultural amnesia. They're depending on your disconnection from sources of strength that exist outside their authority.

Don't give them what they want. Remember who you were before they told you who to be.
