Podcast Guest A: 我认为“自觉社群”是一个松散的亚文化群体，主要通过YouTube和播客等平台聚集。这个社群融合了黑人灵修者、自然生活倡导者、草药医生、另类历史学家、励志演说家和背包客说唱歌手等多种元素。我在这个社群中看到了与嬉皮士社区相似之处，既有真正对另类生活感兴趣的人，也有散布虚假信息的人。与嬉皮士社区不同的是，“自觉社群”更关注种族正义和白人至上主义的历史教育。然而，Nature Boy正在以有毒的方式利用黑人意识运动的一些元素，例如将“黑人意识”扭曲为“拥有更多黑色素会让你更聪明，更优秀”。 Katie: 我对Nature Boy和自觉社群了解不多，但通过你的描述，我开始理解这个社群的复杂性和潜在的危险性。我尤其关注Nature Boy对黑人意识运动的扭曲，以及他对追随者的控制和剥削。
