@Remittancegirl There is definitely something decadent in romanticizing "simplicity" - not relying on "modernity".

Which just brought the anti-vax aesthetic to my mind: Being far enough removed from things like polio that it seems cute to flirt with bringing them back.

Not exactly the same thing, but at least to my mind, there is some vague linkage.

@Remittancegirl The production quality of the video makes the poverty cosplay aspect particularly wild. The whole thing feels extremely movie-like - which I'm sure is the point.
