Im quite tired of the critique that trying to adopt or change your current culture, is bad. You see this from both sides, the left and the right, for different reasons, here the critique is a critique of capitalism or consumerism and how farmers market aren't fit culturally, supposedly also pointing out a class difference of sorts?
Leaving this aside, it's not, bad. I dont dislike Bangalorean's attempts at cultural renvoation, they're trying to become a San Fran, but really, why not create, culture?
I actually like people who change things and dont sit around miserably complaining about everything and anything. I think there is a real potential to legitimately WRITE and CREATE new cutlure.
The easy way out would be anglicising indian concepts, framing it as new, or redoing Indian concepts with a better sense of Design but I think there is a better alternative. You can do new things, you can create new names and new, events, new systems and new functions and you can make things.

The world is changing, and language, barriers, culture are now moving through an international stream, you cannot stop people in New York to appropriate India nor can you stop India to try and appropriate San Fran, there is no longer any difference except the ones we make.
If you can speak english, you are a part of this sphere, of the world, and even if not, the designs and ideas and technology are all integrated deeply into your phones, you are a connected International Citizen, through capitalism none the less sure, but connected.
In that sense, I dont agree with the twit critique, its a simple critique of rich/corporate/try hard bangaloreans, no one likes bangaloreans, and no one likes bangalore, sure, but isnt this interesting?
Isn't it at the least interesting to see a new thing.

Culture moves fast, so fast that we can have anything we want, we can do a house party in India, we can do a Persian tea night in France, we can do anything, we always could have done this but the exchange of information was, slow, it was your own recreation, but now you post about it and it echoes throughout the world information sphere, suddenly your Farmers Market, is now a real event, it is known by people.
I think its an opportunity to reinvent everything, Reinvent house parties, new events, new culture, culture no longer being tied ot a place is a good thing, this means essentially, you are allowed to create a culture of your own, and at a scale that is so fast, that it reaches self fulling legitimatization quick.

Yaar the point is not the fucking farmers market who cares, theres a more interesting thing

This is incredibly profitable, fortunately or unfortunately a new trend or a new cultural system, suppose for example we develop an Indian cafe night system, something of a bar-crawl, where instead of going to sit with a group you go to socialize with everyone, or anything of the sorts.
All of the moving pieces of culture, of any event, farmers market, pubs, bars, any of the many fucking american or western social events are just their willingness to create a common agenda, a game of sorts, where people follow along a certain protocol for the fun of it, which facilitates commerce and social exchange. The moving parts are just humans, who can easily understand things.
We're importing western ideas when the west functionally, is going to stop existing, soon, soon enough it wont be the west or the east, it will just be the world, and it will break down into much more subcultures, it already has for america and "the west" but its still new for us, but soon we'll get used to it.
It's only been so long since JIO.

its like the indian monkeys who make glass buildings in a 40 degree celcius climate country and then put industry grade air conditioners which guzzle power from grid which itself is not sufficient for the whole country.
Or like people wearing layered clothes in peak dry summer because they saw some european insta influencer.
Its stupid.
You trying to frame it about muh captialism muh consumerism tells me you are a book nerd who never touched grass.
The problem is they are apes , they arr aping it and it looks very weird, rightfully. If they actually solved some problem by importing "farmers market" it would have been ok.
Before social media people solved real issues by importing the foreign culture/stuff.
God I hate social media and gulible normies.

People who get paid by americunts tend to ape it. So the same applies here. Nothing good or bad about it.
Sepoys will be sepoys. Before brits. Now Americunts.

both - the visitor and creator gained from this.
I guess this is what he meant by first paragraph.
Damn!! truly all the high IQ chads of India are in this chan. But I would like to propose a counter-argument. This view is entirely or partially based on Western point of view and can also be a continuation of 1991 idea of END OF HISTORY as we know it.
but this has been proven wrong by the rise of china. yes the capital and english educated elites may feel closer to "west". But the political class and the middle class wants something that's inherently indian. You can see my hypothetical scenario is entirely based on chinese since i watch them closely. the china was architectural playground for the west. But later the chinese mandated the architecture to be chinese inspirations and to form an independent identity away from "west".
perhaps we would go the direction of Japan who wanted to westernised but became so unhinged now that it's amalgamation of both japanese or American with japanese characteristics.
This path would surely be followed if not for the systematic racism against anything indian on the "western" soyshal media. So i definitely can't say which way we will go.
