#Totemism

Totemism is a social club where adults cosplay as animals or plants to hypnotize themselves with a sense of unity. It doubles as a highly efficient group PR tactic, simultaneously differentiating from and conforming to others. The ritual poles, adorned and venerated, function less as unifiers and more as stages for endless debates over who most resembles which beast. In the end, totemism celebrates the most clichéd crowd psychology under the banner of communal identity.
