And I am absolutely serious about the Turkey Curse. It will change your life.
This isn't because of any particular mystic significance, but because when you perform the turkey curse you are confirming to both yourself and the people around you that the cultural assumptions that are generally present and used to maintain the currently existing power structures only exist when people agree that they exist.
When you actually act outside of the expected cultural norms, even in harmless ways, people get scared.
If you want to make a police officer question their authority, dress up like a respectable (HA) business person and do the turkey curse at them.
'Everyone' knows that you can ignore a homeless person acting like they are crazy, or a businessman yelling at a waiter about poor service. But if you shift any of these things even slightly..
As soon as you start to act like you actually believe that you determine what you are going to consider valuable instead of what you are told is valuable it becomes a threat to most people in positions of power.
Cultural and societal norms are far stronger for regulating behaviour than laws, so often they are co-opted by groups that want to maintain power instead of promote some sort of common goal.
by identifying norms that exist for the purpose of maintaining power and very visibly going against them you make people whose lives are built around maintaining these norms have a reason to question them, and by extension their identity.
This can be devastating, so be careful around people you actually like. I feel that it is ultimately liberating but YMMV.
That is enough of me being a pretentious asshole. Kallasti and all that junk.
