honestly libs and tumblr leftists mishandled the concept of "cultural appropriation" so bad and f***ed up its actual meaning so bad that i kinda think both sides, whether the yt savior types who think white people making chinese or mexican food is bad or the people who think its somehow epic edgy trigger xD to wear a sombrero while saying "tacos and burritos ayeyaeyaeyae speedy gonzales landscaper", are both f***ing stupid and i just wish that they would shut the f*** up

the fault of the current handling of "cultural appropriation" by the mainstream (mainly "woke" leftists and liberals) is that it went from actual critiques of capitalism making a mockery out of culture through commodification, to unironic "race == culture" arguments that like white supremacists use and implying that cultures can't fuse and co-exist in harmony together (i wonder who makes that argument)

it's the same capitalist co-optation of radical concepts into some weaksauce s*** that doesn't threaten capital

I was curious about /r/stupidpol's perspective and it's surprisingly more level-headed than I thought it would be, considering a lot of the sub is kinda just reactionary at this point.

This pretty much explains my point a bit better

another good Marxist critique of it by Freddie deBoer:

the etymological similarities between the two F slurs is really fascinating s*** imo

it's ironically one of the most parochial concepts that the "woke left" propagates

In the Peterson Zizek “debate”, Peterson said he’s never read anything from Marx (not even the communist manifesto), Engels, or Lenin lmao

and even despite this i see the below

yes clearly the reason democrats lost was because republicans cheated democracy and stole the election. republicans claimed democrats were Machiavellian political mechanists, but they were the real Machiavellians the whole time! that campaign talking point worked great for Trump and his associates.

also lmfao @ calling the GOP the right or equating them to the european far-right

holy f***ing s***
