The way the Textile Industry Convinced Everyone That Nudity

is Bad
While most individuals do not think about the historical political impact of the clothing they
wear, textiles and the textile industry has in fact had a huge impact on societies around the
world, and still do now. It must be remembered that prior to the European Renaissance and
Industrial Revolution, most Earth's human population was (and still is) focused about the
equator in tropical and semitropical areas.
European and other temperate zone, sub arctic, and arctic people traditionally required hand
made clothes (typically of animal skins and furs, wool, insect by-products including silk, hand
processed leaves and tree barks, and hand/loom woven plant fibers such as linen, hemp,
and cotton) for protection from the elements.
Desert dwelling peoples also traditionally demanded garments for protection from
overexposure to the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun. In a few of these societies handcraft
textiles and loom woven fabrics became a valued art, benefiting affluent weavers and
merchant classes. Folks also wore clothing to show their socioeconomic status, and spiritual
offices.
However, for most individuals around the globe, outside of small elite aristocracies, affluent
merchant classes, the religious organization, and societies greatly determined by handcraft
cloth and merchant guilds, garments was mainly worn for practical functional functions, and
not required when impractical, including for swimming, or for working in hot humid conditions.
Fabric body concealment was not ascribed any moral measurement as around me and were
not that close.) I took off my of modesty or innocence. The nude human body was correlated
with poverty at worst, honesty and innocence at best, and was, at the time, not directly
related to human sexuality by the majority of Earth's folks.

Then, in 1750 the textile mill was devised in England. This created great wealth for the
owners of textile mills, and agricultural land barons that provided cotton, wool, and other raw
materials to be woven into textile fabrics for clothes (also in terms of rope, ship sails,
construction materials and other uses).
As garments was the major profit creating end use of the textile mill owners products, it
became imperative for their local residents to be indoctrinated with the "demand" for material
body concealment in the least times to keep continual gains.
This indoctrination also solidified the positions of the aristocracy by direct transfer of wealth
from the masses via textile garments purchases, by designating certain clothing styles as
tremendously expensive and only to be worn by aristocrats, and by designating many
different clothing fashions for each sex, age, class, and trade, region, action, and sect, hence
reinforcing sections within the general population, making them more readily subdivided and
controlled.
Once the masses accepted the practice of continuous material body concealment (often
indoctrinated though the church, the best proponent of new notions available to the
aristocracy at that time) the abundance of the textile makers was assured for generations.
Textile producers and religious organizations in Asia had long followed an identical path to
constant gains and authoritarian hierarchical control within their own areas and faiths too.

As the technology of the industrial revolution advanced it became possible for the textile
manufacturing companies to furnish more clothing than was demanded by local people, and
the manufacturers were so compelled to seek elsewhere to market their products.
Hence colonial growth was considerably quickened. The European aristocracy sought new
markets for its products (mostly fabrics, along with alcoholic beverages, and weapons),
inexpensive labor, and new environmental resource lands to produce its needed raw
materials (chiefly cotton and wool). The church sought new converts to its authoritarian belief
systems, including of course fabric body concealment in any respect times as a matter of
piety, morality, Does Bare Promotion Really Raise Sales? , and civilization.
Authorities sought growth of their international influence, tax base, and increase of these
national wealth. Governments also sought to enforce fabric body concealment as a subject of
"law" and social "order" as the practice became standard within their own populations and
lucrative elsewhere within their colonies. Adequately indoctrinated people themselves
assumed the belief they were made more pious, moral, modest, decent, and pure through
the practice of material body concealment.
However, the many unkind atrocities performed by the European church during the middle
ages (mainly rooting out native traditional holistic counselors, scientific knowledge bearers,
and healing professionals, many of which were women), the witch trials of Salem
Massachusetts, the international slave trade, two world wars, countless big and small scale
military battles, and millions of more recent violent criminal psychopathic actions tells quite
an alternate history.

Today there are other means than authoritarian hierarchical associations for textile
manufacturers to indoctrinate their pervading false message of the necessity of material body
concealment all the time.
Television induces highly suggestible trance states allowing programming to obtain the
subconscious in addition to the conscious mind through projection of visual images and
auditory signals.
Magazines captivate minds with glossy energetic brilliant pictures and engaging narratives.
Newspapers expound the narratives mass media consensus determines to be most lucrative.
The web participates and interacts with the heads of its users. Promotion more and more
invades all facets of our daily life.
Meanwhile girls are attacked by various kinds of violence, children are harassed to the point
of suicide, people starve themselves to death from hatred for and discontent with their
bodies, and people are routinely ostracized, bullied, assaulted, raped, and murdered for what
they choose to wear.
Actually, clothing independence (the ability of any individual to wear or not wear whatever
they want without negative repercussions or consequences) can be a reasonable index of
independence in general within certain society.
From what I have seen in my travels abroad, liberty and self-determination have a tendency
to abound in the societies where clothing freedom exists. In the societies where clothes
independence is refused, authoritarian hierarchy prevails and other personal liberties will also
be at risk.
