mido9 Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 According to the left:Cultural Appropriation: Bad.Multiculturalism and sharing of cultures: Somehow good? Also, im sure 99.99% of leftists dont know how far sweeping cultural appropriation would be or how much it would hurt them/make their lives worse.

Dad Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Well a bunch of these dudes must've never been to the states. It's nothing but "cultural appropriation". Different flavors for everybody. There's everything from Italian restaurants in the south to Sushi shops in New York. The idea that different people can't be or shouldn't be exposed to different ideas is one extreme notion. This is way farther left than I am. Frankly, I don't give a funk what you like. I just don't wanna be called outta my name. That's the difference. funk these extreme wing fuckbois. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 One of these days I'll find a thread from you that isn't titled in such an extremely biased manner. (Yes I know it's the title of the article but still, not a good impression) Anyway yeah it's pretty clear this is an extreme left idea which is completely stupid and illogical, and harmful. I don't think I've met anyone who has been upset that their culture is being spread, though there is a problem of misuse of culture and making people think that a culture is different than what it is.I blame Taco Bell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~ P O L A R I S ~ Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 If anything, "cultural appropriation" is an invention of right-wingers who want to "conserve" their own respective national/cultural identities rather than being open to the influence of other cultures. Why we're blaming it on liberals and left-wingers, who are for multiculturalism and change, is beyond me. I'm a left-wing liberal and believe culture exists to be "appropriated" and the "appropriated cultures" benefit as a result through proliferation and facilitation of different cultures to understand one another and work together instead of competing against each other for national/cultural supremacy.

epicmemesbro Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Disney tried to copyright day of the dead (Mexican celebration) they failed miserably, even for a company that practices "multiculturalism". Ugh I cringe at the times in college that I see stuff like this. Its even more ridiculous that they can protest this stuff. We have this "protest areas" where protesting is allowed. But the PC can do it wherever they like because what they want "should be the norm". Even handing out a constitution is not allowed outside these boundaries. Its ridiculous that stuff like this is more prioritized and taken more seriously than say protesting tuition rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~ P O L A R I S ~ Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Anyway yeah it's pretty clear this is an extreme left idea No it isn't. This is the extreme left: They are all for cultural appropriation, and the extreme right are for eradication of/distance from other cultures, claiming their own as supreme (ie.

Nazis "Deutschland über Alles" and the KKK) To be fair there ARE many straight up BAD cultures like how Saudi Arabia still has beheadings and arms getting cut off for any crime, huge segregation between male and female and females cant even vote or work, and still had slavery until ~1970(Libya still has them, but at 50% pay instead of zero) or how 60% of indians defecate in the open. Those are definitely not desirable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mido9 Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 (ie. Nazis "Deutschland über Alles" and the KKK) Also: Long not-at-all-detailed post but: Nazi is a shortening of NSDAP which stands for Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, which means National Socialist German Worker's Party. They were pretty much all socialists and advocates for more taxes and redistribution of wealth, and taking over other countries(WW2), which are things right wingers vehemently oppose(I mean, ronald reagan was all for reduced taxes, social spending, and less welfare while bernie wants 60%+ taxes). That, and the first republican party was created by anti-slavery Whig party members who were opposed to a new law, the Kansas-Nebraska act, that would legalize slavery in the North where it had been banned. Their first candidate was John C Fremont who lost, but the first winner of the elections was Abraham Lincoln, who passed the 13th amendment abolishing slavery, 14th giving due process, and 15th giving blacks the right to vote, to the point that before he was officially inaugurated 7 southern states had left to create the confederacy. The KKK was founded after the first black men, Senators Hiram Revels, and Joseph Rainey was elected to congress who also ran as republicans. I mean, even the black Frederick Douglass who went from being a slave to being a great writer joined the Far-Right Anti-Slavery republicans racists who are claimed to have founded the KKK? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_United_States_Republican_Party Even now the democratic parties tell blacks that they cant succeed because of whites or because they're 'inferior' and put them on welfare which is basically glorified poverty to keep them voting democrat. I mean, I think it's unfair to say the republican party is the racist one when it removed the culture of slavery.[spoiler=Campaign Poster] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Just saying, the republican party was the liberal party at that time, and many ideologies have since swapped, so I'm not sure how relevant said point is. Republicans then really are only the same as now in name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
