Is cultural appropriation a real thing, and is it a bad thing?
>>2911238
>Is cultural appropriation a real thing
yes
>is it a bad thing?
not necessarily. there are good and bad examples.
>>2911238
It's real and it's mainly a means with which a economically and socially marginalized people are stripped with what remains of their culture by those in power seeking new fads or notions of self which more often than not erases the processes that put said marginalized in their positions in the first place
You can't own a culture. It's a stupid concept.
Why did they make these?

Stone chisels and weather balloons.
>>2909328
I said why not how.
>>2909323
Magic / religious reasons.
Considering that the definitions of right and left fluctuate so much depending on time and place, is there anything universal about them?
My idea is this:
>right wing = idealising the past
>left wing = idealising the future
>>2909164
>is there anything universal about them?
No. Were the Nazis left or right? How about Pol Pot and his idea of communism by regressing the country to a society based on farmers instead of industries?
I idealise a future where the streets of Paris and London no longer look like the streets of Algiers and Karachi.

Euros (or "Whites) don't have a legitimate claim to these civilizations and their religious traditions with any accomplishments. Neither do Negroes but that's not the point.
Also:
>Greeks
>Romans
Non-Southern Euros like Nords don't have a legitimate claim to these either.

when this wewuz meme will finally be over and people will start being proud of their personal achievements, studying the past and being inspired by different eras and civilizations instead of looking at a better moment of "their own civilization" and simply saying "muh ancestor" as if they were part of it.
>>2908682
No European has claimed to be a part of Persian or Indian civilization. However these are all indo-European civilizations that have many similarities.
As for Southern Europeans vs other Europeans, Rome spanned a large area and celts where absolutely sharers in Classical civilization. Also you have nations like Russia which by virtue of their conversion to Orthodoxy by the Eastern Roman Empire share in Greco-Roman civilization.
According to genetics Sardians and Portuguese are closer related to carthaginians than modern North Africans.
Maybe I don't come to this board nearly enough but I have rarely every seen anyone claiming that the men of these civilizations were "aryan" or white.

Would Sweden even be a country if the soldiers that died at Normandy didn't charge directly into the jaws of hell based on only the duty they had to their nation and the promise of passing liberty on to the next generation?
Why did the Republic of Ireland never go to war to conquer the Northern counties?
Because in any conventional war the bongs would rape them

They tried.

Because they know they'd get absolutely kerbstomped? Plus why go to war when demographics will do it for you politically within a hundred years anyway?
