Fuck this is so incredibly everything.

I like to think the very thing that makes people vote left is the exact same thing that sabotages the left. We critically think ourselves into an uncompromising stalemate.

Can you pick a specific well-known depiction of ASPD and compare what is similar and dissimilar to your experience?

I have a family member that works as an engineer building parts for various spacecraft. They get excited about the possibility of finding a renewable energy source and just in general what science can gain and learn from space that will make life better on earth.

Do with that what you will, I'm neutral, I'm just providing a different perspective that I think is relevant.

I was looking at that one, thanks!

Thank you, i appreciate your extra guidance for lemmy lol

Thanks!

The tube is out there

Reminds me of gink

Respectfully, I disagree with your definition of cultural appropriation, but i agree it's wrong to deny others the right to identify with their heritage or cultures.

Cultures borrow from one another, it's just the nature of having multiple societies in proximity. I would argue (outside of the realm of exploitation) more often than not, cultural appropriation doesn't come from a malevolent place, nor does it restrict anyone from otherwise enjoying their own heritage and culture. Some 9 year old wearing a Halloween costume of a Disney princess that isn't their own race isn't the crime we make it out to be. Worst case scenario it's a faux pas, best case scenario, that kid took an interest in a group of people they are not familiar with and learned about them.

Also, as another commenter pointed out, the term cultural appropriation is used to cover a wide variety of offenses, so this disagreement could potentially come from that.

Edit: clarity

Yes! I love it, thank you for that follow up. That's exactly what I mean.

In the spirit of my post, I'm glad you see a disparity in the term cultural appropriation like I do.

In the spirit of clarifying what I mean, cultural appropriation is using elements of another culture. What you described is exploitative, is very serious, and not what I'm referring to.

But I appreciate your input all the same.
