Cultural appropriation

Cultural appropriation is largely used at present as a form of virtue signaling within the Oppression Olympics. It's a way of tearing down others, controlling actions and forcibly segregating people based on nonsensical, arbitrary, ever-changing rule sets. A triangular pattern of behavior that seeks to label one side a "victim", one side an "attacker" and the final side the "savior" sublimed with sanctimonious superiority.

Liberal loonies often get so caught up in this self-defeating, dick-witted, group think threesome that they create a slippery slope of regression that easily slides back into obliviously supporting segregation and cultural stagnation.

In reality culture is not something that "belongs" to you, or anyone. Culture is simply the description of whatever norms, customs, beliefs and ideals happen to be popular within a given time frame, within a given geographical location, within a given community construct (whether it be based on physical traits, ideological similarities, cognitive conditioning or otherwise).

If you believe that a particular culture "belongs" to you it directly indicates a LACK of personal character and conviction. You have essentially latched on to random tchotchkes which you are using as a poor substitution for a genuine sense of self. Basically it's a form of self-objectification that causes you to lash out at others because you see yourself in objects or actions that they happen to be engaging in.

When you see yourself as PROPERTY and that proverbial property is being enjoyed by others without your consent, you in turn feel anger and animosity, a sense of violation due to the way that you have objectified yourself and your lack of a real sense of self.
