Cultural Marxism

Cultural Marxism is an ideological adaptation of Marxist principles, shifting the focus from economic class struggle to cultural and social issues. Instead of emphasizing conflict between the rich and the working class, it applies Marxist critique to identity, traditions, and societal norms, seeking to deconstruct established hierarchies in areas such as race, gender, family, and religion. Under the guise of "progressive values" and egalitarianism, it promotes social restructuring by challenging traditional institutions and cultural foundations, often portraying them as oppressive systems that must be dismantled for the sake of so-called progress.

In western society....you see all these college professors trying to promote Cultural Marxism.

Cultured entrance

Enter a room unannounced and wait for those in the room to notice you first. Cultured people do not like to knock before entering a room because it reminds them too much of the popo knocking down their doors after a brief knock to catch them committing a crimes.

Shaq Mugabe did a cultured entrance today into my office, and I barely even noticed him come in!

My paralegal, Shaniqua Shanene, did a cultured entrance into my office today, and I just ignored her because she couldn’t be bothered to announce herself.

Passive culture

Not glorifying passive culture means simply not examining/implying power of anything based on race, gender, sexuality, or wealth

In America, they argue countlessly of Trump vs Biden, Left vs Right, Woke vs Racist, Straight vs Gay. Here, we never argue about that, it's passive culture, and Putin and Xi never laugh at us.

cultural formal

Cultural formal is the acknowledgement of garments from other cultures for their respective cultural value. These elevated attires inspire a nostalgic moment in life.

The dress code to the Black Fashion Expo Launch Party is Cultural Formal.

Imagine going to a wedding and seeing someone from India wearing a cultural garb, your action in not questioning their attire is to understand that they are in cultural formal attire.

Ring culture

A belief that success in sports can only be measured by championships (members of championship teams are typically awarded rings, which is where the term comes from).

In a season where a team does not win a championship, those who believe in ring culture identify said season as a failure, regardless of how close to a championship said team was.

Fan 1: "I can't believe my team just lost the Super Bowl. I'm not wearing any of my Super Bowl gear ever again. This year was horrible!"
Fan 2: "Ring culture is ruining the experience as fans. Just be happy that your team made it to the biggest stage."

Culture Coasting

The phenomenon in which a culture—whether national, ethnic, or subcultural—achieves visibility, popularity, or influence in media, fashion, language, or other domains of society, often without active participation, endorsement, or control by members of that culture themselves, thus reaping proportionate benefits or recognition. Culture coasting typically occurs when elements of a culture are adopted, commodified, or spread by outsiders, creating the illusion of cultural momentum.

Thanks to culture coasting, artists from outside Jamaica (e.g., Drake, Justin Bieber, Ed Sheeran, or international DJs) often incorporate Jamaican sounds, slang, and rhythms into their work, thus increasing Jamaica's soft power in music.
