[00:00:00]Okay, white people, I need you to understand something [music] about Ren Faires.

[00:00:04]That's your indigenous heritage that you're doing.

[00:00:08]The little dances that everyone does and all the other stories and the traditions.

[00:00:13]You're doing your indigenous heritage.

[00:00:16]The Faires, those are your powwows.

[00:00:18]That's why normal people don't do that, right? Cuz normal people are white.

[00:00:25]>> [music] >> But when you do the Ren Faires, you're actually participating in northern [music] European cultural heritage.

[00:00:34]Indigenous cultural heritage.

[00:00:38]Which is why white culture must make fun of it. Because they need it to go away.

[00:00:44]And anybody who's participating in it, I don't know, there's >> [music] >> something about them is wrong. You know, anybody who's participating in an indigenous cultural heritage, something about it wrong, something about [music] it is off. I don't know. We We We should probably stop doing those things.

[00:01:00]So, I'm just telling [music] you right now that that's uh colonialism.

[00:01:06]Trying to make you feel bad and silly for wanting to participate in your indigenous [music] cultural heritage.

[00:01:15]Oh, but but what about the people dressing up [music] as elves? Guess who had stories of elves? Oh, it was your ancestors. [music] And then they dress up as the source.

[00:01:24]That's what native folks are doing at the powwows is they're dressing up as beings from the stories, right? Beings from the stories.

[00:01:34]>> [music] >> And honoring them, but cuz they think they're cool and neat. And like they act out the story [music] as a dance.

[00:01:46]Yeah. So, that's what you're doing with the elves and the fairies.

[00:01:52]Those are [music] your cultural mythical creatures that you use as allegories and things like that. That's your folk [music] spiritual belief. That, right? Like you you know about fairies. You you read you've read, you're an adult, and you follow [music] Piper, and you know about folklore.

[00:02:14]That's your >> [music] >> indigenous cultural spiritual connection [music] to the ancient practice of your magic.

[00:02:30]And so they want you to stop doing that.

[00:02:33]That's why Dungeons and Dragons is witchcraft.

[00:02:39]And that's why King James wrote the prequel to the Bible, which is called demonology.
