Am I a poser if I say I'm a hipster when I'm not?
No. But how can you be so sure you're not? This is like a bad Twilight Zone episode where it turns out everyone was a hipster all along, hooked up to some sort of weird iPod matrix. Besides, I'm too grungy and p*ssed off to be a hipster. |

When you go up to receive communion, you're literally at the foot of the cross. Standing at all creation's center, the saints gather around. Martyrs, heroes staring into your very being. They lived AND died for Christ... can we say the same of ourselves? What are WE doing to further God's will in this life? Skipping Mass for our careers? Our education? Voting for heads of state, that don't recognize the source of all authority and power? They won't matter on your deathbed (or whatever end we meet).
So... why waste time with this modern world's nonsense? We have our own civilization: CHRISTENDOM. We must restore it whilst the modern world commits societal suicide.
Its naive and idealistic to believe government for man by man can succeed. Restore Christendom in our hearts and homes! Communities aren't that far off, its a numbers game.
"Accursed is the man that puts his trust in man" Book of Jeremiah Chapter XVII, verse 5.

The Church is intolerant in principle because she believes;
she is tolerant in practice because she loves.
The enemies of the Church are tolerant in principle because they do not believe;
they are intolerant in practice because they do not love. Timorem Domini docebo vos. |

I know some Catholic hipsters. Maybe that disqualifies them from being true hipsters. I don't know. |

So what is a hipster, then? We think we know, but apparently we don't agree.
My impression of a hipster: obsession with being authentic. Though this is a pretty wide Western obsession, I suppose.
I think the need to avoid anything mainstream is rooted in the idea that mainstream is not authentic. Ethnic restaurant popular with white people? Can't go there anymore. And so on.
I guess it's a reaction to the yuppie lifestyle, which is obsessed with the opposite (status, mainstream, popular).
A Catholic hipster wouldn't really be a hipster I suppose, if he sought what was good, true and beautiful, whether or not it was ironic, whether or not it was mainstream, and so on.
Just my amateur sociological $0.02.

I guess I'm a "hipster" then since I can't stand fashionable stuff.
I loathe futility, even my own.

"THE LORD is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the protector of my life: of whom shall I be afraid?" (Psalm 26:1)
"And we, too, being called by His will in Christ Jesus, are not justified by ourselves, nor by our own wisdom, or understanding, or godliness, or works which we have wrought in holiness of heart; but by that faith through which, from the beginning, Almighty God has justified all men; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen." — Clement, bishop of Rome
"I love truth," says he, "and not sects. I am sometimes a peripatetic, a stoic, or an academician, and often none of them; but—always a Christian. To philosophise is to love wisdom; and the true wisdom is Jesus Christ. Let us read the historians, the poets, and the philosophers; but let us have in our hearts the gospel of Jesus Christ, in which alone is perfect wisdom and perfect happiness." — Petrarch

If something you own and like became very fashionable, but you still liked it, would you get rid of it anyway? If so, maybe you are a hipster. But what's the connection between fashion and futility? |
