I do find those moron-types confusing. They complain about not being a part of a culture, while avowing to have nothing to do with anything cultural at all. Like, it isn't even usually about interacting in a different culture or pushing your own culture, it's about isolationist asceticism. "Don't ever go to community events or interact with society; hide alone in the woods, then complain that the community hasn't seen you for a while!"
