You monster!

Thanks for the tip. I’ll be sure not to post any!

I’d even give them a Chicago Sunroof

You are literally the Joker

I’ve noticed the same!

196 world tour it is, then!

196 meetup in Akron it is, then

You made me realize that I don’t think I’ve seen this happen since coming to Lemmy last June. It was a real problem on reddit.

You made a lot of people in the audience cry

The Lighthouse was so wacky that I couldn’t really take it seriously.

Robert Pattinson? It sure looks like him!

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks of him as the “Twilight guy.” That’s all I could think about when I watched The Lighthouse.

Unfortunately, it’s just another in a long line of people who completely misunderstand anarchist theory and instead argue with a figment of their own imagination, based on years of propaganda.

On one hand, I should have more patience to educate people like that citing books and real-life examples. On the other hand, after a post’s been up for nearly a day, I get fucking exhausted with explaining to yet another person why they are completely off base. I come online to escape the people like that who I’m surrounded by in my backwards-ass red state. If they’re really interested in knowing why they’re wrong, they can reference my other comments. But I don’t have time for them.

No one person can represent an entire culture though. That’s why it’s on us to learn how to be respectful.

For example, someone from Mexico might be just fine with offensive Hispanic stereotypes, but that doesn’t excuse such behavior. You can’t just ask a random person for a pass, like what? Even asking for something like that would be utterly tasteless lmao

That’s your opinion, and that’s all addressed by anarchist theory. It seems to me you’re just shooting from the hip and parroting anti-anarchist propaganda you’ve been fed all of your life.

Edit: Blocked because “anarchism is incompatible with anarchism” is some of the most utterly baffling pseudo-intellectual horseshit it’s been my displeasure to read. I need to wash my eyes after seeing those words on the screen.

But cultural appreciation is not what is meant by “cultural appropriation.” Cultural appropriation is when it’s done in a disrespectful manner.

I grew up with some utterly racist experiences in school – the feather “headdress” and cardboard tipis, the sombreros on Cinco de Mayo, etc.

I wish I’d had someone at the time to explain why that was wrong.

To me, the term “cultural appropriation” refers to things like schools having kids make chicken feather “headdresses” to “celebrate” Native American Day, or wearing a religious symbol in a disrespectful way. Even though people like the person in the post can be annoying, I think it’s still progress that we’re able to have these discussions, and I think it’s too bad that for many people the takeaway seems to be “cultural appropriation is never problematic.” I’d take the person from the post any day over someone who thinks they’re immune from criticism when they unintentionally engage in behavior that truly is disrespectful.
