It's interesting this stuff is getting popular on /x/. These are costumes from the Selk'nam coming-of-age ceremony called the Hain. According to them, the men of the tribe dress up as spirits (called soorts in their language) to scare the women and young children and give the men something to combat to maintain the social order. As a boy comes into manhood, this conspiracy is revealed to him and he joins in. 

Isn't that interesting? An entire culture held together by a secret society that creates controlled opposition to keep everyone else in line. Imagine if that happened on a wider scale...hmm..........


It's probably just to keep the masks from falling.

that worked in a way because it was a hunter gatherer society, they needed beliefs to keep things in check while the men (hunter) were out


doing that in a sedentary society is what lead us to slavery and if you check how egypt worked, it is exactly like this:

pharaoh supposed by 'priests' who worship a deity which they wont show to normal people, these normal people are supposed to make offerings to false gods which the priests receive a cut from... and since people come to these priests for advice they also get a little about how the pharaoh is a chosen/incarnation of some god and bla bla bla


so theres differences to this


also the men started doing it because at first the women did it but they submitted men to bad conditions through this method

in a hunter society people dont 'keep' belongings, the most power you have is a position as leader which once the cycle is done is received by the most apt 

in a sedentary society it leads to monopoly
