if the fucking sjw's want to fully eradicate cultural appropriation , then they have no right to do anything from white culture. example, say goodbye to eating hamburgers if they aren't German

>>680582835
they sell that shit at native american gift shops, owned and run by native americans, to actually be worn.

It's racist to tell someone they can only be one way because of their culture. I like feathers and crowns damnit!!

>>680583537

Apparently "cultural appropiation" only works one way, much like discrmination , racism etc

They don't get mad when black bitches straighten their hair. The whole thing is just a way to control people.

Some people just like to complain about things. Cultural appropriation and being offended are their latest tools for getting what they want. "I feel therefore it's true." It's completely subjective and stupid.

>>680582835
No such fucking thing. There are instances where people take on and use other cultures' stuff in a disrespectful way. Generally speaking, no one should wear blackface or Indian headdresses for Halloween, for example. But if I want to learn another language or take part in another culture and you have a problem, go fuck yourself. It's noteworthy that no one sees any problem appropriating from whites. In Japan, they wear business suits (a white invention) but God forbid a white guy should wear a kimono (although Japs don't seem to care either way, it's more white people being offended on their behalf). We live in a time where cultural sharing is seen as theft. That's truly frightening to me.

>>680584179
This.
If they don't like it, why are they selling it?

It's ironic because the people that get offended because of "cultural appropriation" are the same idiots that claim they want equality.

the claim of Cultural Appropriation is, at its heart, a command to control other people's behaviour. It is an imperative, a demand that others stop dressing, eating, speaking, or behaving in a certain way; that they stop enjoying, or lie about their enjoyment of, or suppress their joy at, behaviours of certain types.
It has a moral component: Demands to police others' behaviour always does. In the 50's it would've been "anti-American" behaviour that received this type of sanction; in the 1910's, the puritans and anti-vice clique would've invoked morality to prevent others from drinking; before that, God would have been the invocation used to control other's behaviour.
The question you must ask yourselves is: However strong the moral claim backing the order, does the person speaking have power over me? Can they stop me doing what I want? Should I let them?
This is an ancient struggle, anon. Nothing new. Some cowards will capitulate, others will do whatever the hell they want, and be free, and happy.

I agree it's becoming a melting pot versus multicultural ideology conflict. Melting pot where we take part in and add parts of cultures to ourselves for self betterment. Multicultural in a sense that we can all live together but we can never truly understand each other's culture enough to take part in it. I find it to be an absurd barrier that will backfire in the future. Kind of like a pendulum.

Here's the thing about cultural appropriation: even if it's "wrong," "offensive," "hurtful," whatever
It's a free goddamned country. People can wear, dance, sing and act however they fucking please and if you have a problem with it you can write a blog about it
The fuck else you gonna do cunt

I believe what you've presented, the multicultural vs. melting pot idea, is the theoretical ideal, but that in actuality humans have been swapping culture since forever. I can't believe that the Mesopotamians got offended when surrounding peoples decided to take up agriculture, for example. As a species, we share things. We share culture. It helps us to develop overall.

Also, these SJW idiots are proposing that culture is intimately tied to ethnicity, which it obviously is not. Why should a seventh or eighth-generation immigrant in the US from Nigeria be any more allowed to wear dreads or eat fufu than a white in a similar situation? They've both been thoroughly Americanized. I think the major issue is that people without real academic training are now taking part in what is basically an academic debate, and they have no fucking clue what they're talking about.

cultural appropriation is how a culture survives its own extinction or absorption into another culture
the Greeks and Romans appropriated Egyptian culture
the Mongols appropriated Han culture, and the hybrid Mongol-Han culture was appropriated by the Ming (I think)
Aztec appropriated Maya, then Spanish
and Spanish at the time was a mixture of Roman, Gallic, Moorish, and Islamic cultures
cultural appropriation is a good thing

It's just more hypocritical, nonsensical bullshit.

It is apparently no longer racist or oppressive to tell someone to "act their own race" or segregate cultures. It is no longer oppressive to tell someone what they can and can't wear. It's objectification when a man sees a half-naked woman in a work of fiction, but it's progressive to "free the nipple" and walk around half naked.

There is just no pleasing these people. They just move goal posts so they have something to whine about until the end of time.

it is bullshit, they are attacking a core feature of culture, that it spreads.

the very reason we know western culture won't fail is because it is better for people, people will take what is good or nice or fun or useful or whatever and let the bad stay in the past, this is just how humans function, so when we see some other humans do something we think looks fun we imitate them, wear the same stuff etc

I've had a tumblr for years, at first it was just like any other website, and then the community grew and become more cancerous, the worse it got the more of the quality people left and it was just a negative spiral, now its more or less just pure shit.

the SJW are also often outcasts, people who for the first time find their voice and self confidence, suddenly they are not alone, it is like a drug to them and they simply can't handle it

>>680602748
That's a new one. How wonderful it is that your sacred cultural traditions are now preserved in the museum of Wal-Mart for $17.99. It's not like you cared about them anyway. I'm certain that you didn't care. What's that? Your wishes? Bwahahaha

White Western culture has, for a very long time, been very good at effectively delivering sense pleasures and services to people. It doesn't turn a blind eye to what works, what is most pleasing, etc.

So it happily incorporates different foods, exercises, art, rituals, styles of dress and so forth from all over.

This is our culture and it is fantastic. Other people can complain and pretend that they own "culture", but I suspect this is nothing but glorified penis envy for how successful the West has been (so successful that we have largely entered an era of post-industrial decadence).

>outcasts, people who for the first time find their voice and self confidence

Do you think that's any parallel to the anti-SJW types?

Online echo chambers do that to every political niche.

>>680602237
in that case the main criminals in all cultural appropriation is the owner of the culture, SJW should go into shops of native american descendants and demand they close shop, the casino's are next!

How dare these natives make money on their culture!

>>680603731
lol, capitalism has effectively destroyed culture around the world by making everywhere the exact same, that is the problem with cultural appropriation, soon there is no culture, it's just one giant group that is exactly the same.

>>680582835
if he was NOT indian then this is like the one case where cultural appropriation might be real

>>680603539
you are a retard, if you want to protect culture then you can, you can't force other people to spend their life like that though.

culture by nature is appropriated and shared in all ways possible and if it dies it was simply a shittier culture (usually it does not completely die as the parts worth taking gets appropriated)

>>680602237
>Cultural appropriation isn't someone using something from an alien culture inappropriately, it is when it is used for profit

This is a very narrow view as to what appropriation. There are plenty of people that assert appropriation doesn't require profit.

>>680582835

hmmm....
seems Illegal.
i.e. allowing 1 person to do (on not do) something based on color, creed, ancestry, (etc) Violates the Constitution and fed law

>>680600089
Awesome.

>>680603743
probably, you see it in some atheist communities at least, if it started online or if it is mainly a online community it happens easier though the more classic online communities are better off as the people are more used to being in a community and know that its not the same as the real world

>>680603921
only if you let it you tool

I'm mostly of Scandinavian decent
the most holy sacred traditions of my ancestors are primarily preserved by Marvel Comics
and I'm glad for it
because those horribly distorted extremely profaned versions give many people the seed interest to seek out the truth

>capitalism has effectively destroyed culture around the world by making everywhere the exact same

Capitalism hands down has provided the best standard of living, innovation, and progress over any system ever before tried. It also by far is the system most aligned to effectively utilize and maximize for the greater good the human psychology evolution instilled in us.

Different locations are not some human zoo for you to enjoy tribal folks in their natural habitat, they are embracing global capitalism because it works so well for their people compared to what came before.

I find it amusing you find increasing global similarity solely the fault of capitalism, for it is certainly possible that other systems with globally integrated near-instant communication would also converge towards a more unified and shared global culture.

>that is the problem with cultural appropriation, soon there is no culture

That doesn't follow, merely that culture would change as it converges. Cultures converging doesn't ultimately result in the total lack of culture. You are reifying your own hyperbole.

>it's just one giant group that is exactly the same.

One giant planet full of diverse individuals with shared opportunities and a shared global heritage, however there still will necessarily be a wide range of individuals expressing themselves using different cultural tools and symbols, as necessitated by mating strategies.

This cultural homogenization is pretty much necessitated by the exponentiation growth in modern technology.


You sound young and naive.

i don't cos im a loner, so i just do what i want fuck the sheeple hipsters, it's the idiots dressing like morons that are.

>mostly Scandinavian decent
seriously, you americans can stop with this bullshit though, there are families who left Scandinavia 1 generation ago to move to germany, their kids are german according to them, and yet you americans think you're 1/15 scandinavian, 1/30spanish and 1/14 irish and what not, it hurts my mind that you bother with it, why do you?

is it not good enough to be american any more?

>>680604808
it is funny that you think capitalism is the driving force and not our overall political views.

capitalism, as it was intended, works very well, a short boost in production, however if it gets left unchecked it halts due to the false idea of trickling down economy that so far have not once worked (the great depression and various other financial crises are the result of what happens when you have capitalism for longer than intended)

TL:DR capitalism should be a tool government could use, not the main economic system

>>680604900
Some Americans pride themselves on their older mutt roots, why is that an issue?

This type of shit works both ways because then if they are proud just being Americans they get shit on for "having no culture", "thinking America is a country not a continent", and "I go to pubs older than your country".

Just fuck off an let people celebrate their heritage how they want, they don't have to view decent the same as some first generation German family you eurocentric twat.

>>680604808
ok first, capitalism didn't do shit, inventors and technology is responsible for the current standard of living, if you want to get technical socialised water, electricity and gas, is the real reason we live so well, in most western countries,

secondly, it if you sell culture for a price to stupid hipster teenagers, that culture become meaningless and it dies to become a neat t-shirt so some dick head can walk around thinking they are fashionable.

third and final point, fuck off with your special snowflake bullshit, a bunch of mindless sheep following what is popular, yer that is totally individualism right there.

fashion really does outshine morality.

>>680603731
Nobody should be forcing anybody to do anything. When they stop caring about their cultural traditions, then it's fine to turn them into cheap nylon costumes. It's only about them saying "hey can you not do that? It's sacred to us", and you saying "sure, it's no big deal for me to stop".

This sort of "darwinism of culture" happens by itself, but that doesn't mean we have to be dicks during the meantime. As long as it isn't a harmful cultural practice, there's no reason it "should" go away. Any faster than it naturally would anyway.

>>680604900
and this is why European cultures are dieing
you don't give a fuck about where you came from
Americans recognize that their origins are part of why they are the way they are
we recognize that we are better for having been European

>>680605238
This is the most retarded comment I have read in ages.

There isn't an inherent dichotomy between other implemented social-democratic policies and capitalism.

>>680605241
maybe because the problem is the loudmouths who have to tell you how cultural they are instead of just living their lives and enjoying the culture they want?

If some American enjoyed some culture that would be fine, but they don't, they just remember the fractions and what country to put them by

and, if they were a third generation immigrant, maybe still spoke the language, visited the country etc, then no one would notice, it is when you have to bring out the paper work to prove it that it become tedious and pointless
