When traveling in foreign countries, the traveler uses their money to distance themselves from as much interaction as possible. Hiding behind taxis, fancy hotels with western food etc.
Hey do you feel like going to the local market to haggle for a woven basket? No I want to sit at the hotel pool and sip mojitoes. Dude you really have your cultural condom on today!!

Get the Cultural Condommug. Pity culture is where people with a nice lifestyle feel sorry for people without that lifestyle and imagine them to be suffering as a result. This in turn makes them feel guilty and they spend lots of time telling other people how awful it is for those people, to ease their guilt and make them feel noble.
They are easily manipulated by articles in the newspaper, which feed on their guilt, and give them a sense of power in their lives as they decide which brand of coffee to buy accordingly. They often have little idea beyond this about the lives of those involved.

"You shouldn't buy that brand of toilet paper ! I saw an article last night about how the people who make it are treated badly !"
"Hey, that paper is manipulating you through pity culture ! Maybe they have a deal with the rival brand of loo roll !"

Get the pity culturemug. PIF Culture is a new movement of inspired people with a vision. The vision is to create a culture where random acts of kindness are set into perpetual motion. The idea is simple, for every act of kindness demonstrated there will eventually be another act of kindness produced elsewhere. Through this system, we can make the world a better place with the simplest concept... kindness.

Get the PIF Culturemug. "Culture Signalling" is similar to Virtue Signalling, where a pretentious twat wants to let you know that you are dealing with a Very Cultured Person, and cannot be bothered with your crude and boorish ways.

Me: "I think you are culture signalling."

Get the popular culturemug. taking aspects from a minority culture, for it's aesthetics, without knowing the meaning behind. this is often controversial when the appropriated culture was exploited or oppressed by the person "borrowing". people are often insulted and looked down upon for having these features naturally, when someone else is praised for having them, without being from that culture.
