Fuck people who wear let's go Brandon shirts you're just an idiot
| Who is Brandon? Where is he going?
| They are just angry that they are losing the political, social, and cultural war.
The right is even losing members with each year that passes.
| You realize it's funny for lefties too? Hillary voters seem to be the only ones upset
| >>812027 Yes… Why does saying Fuck Joe Biden which gets censored to Let's Go Brandon but still appropriated by the same group offend you? Can I not say fuck joe biden or can I not say the joke version?
| Wait, like the guy that was on the news? Idk man i don't condone violence and the guy shouldn't have been there, but if you use your eyes, it's a clear case of self defense.
You also never chase a guy with a gun. Being in a mob doesn't mean you're allowed to groupthink.
Not sure if you think breaking people's livelihood is ok but they should have protested by the town hall or the police department instead of some random street. What a waste of time just to call people's attention.

I like how people here basically said *nothing* at all yet both of you react to it by spazzing out, letting your brain go into overdrive, and believe the inane bullshit that you made up yourselves.
This is why you're so easy to manipulate.^
| >>812129 you just said a bunch of meaningles insults with not contribution, at least they are on topic.

>appropriated
Immaterial things can't be appropriated without being properly licensed. Is the saying licenced? No. So it isn't appropriated until someone licenses it. Mobs in the stadium or the internet don't appropriate sayings by just using them.
| >>812117
>which gets censored
Cencorship is if people have to face consequences by police or law for saying/publishing information. Is this really the case?
| >>812562 The very definition of appropriation is that it is usually done without permission. Don't understand your licensing point.
>>812564 You can't say fuck on tv without consequence therefore censorship was necessary but the way it was censored was funny as fuck. Fast thinking on the reporters side.
| >>812833
If there is no licence/contract there is no appropriation. If you use a bulding that is owned by no one, than this is no appropriation until you declare it as your property. Appropriation starts as soon you exclude others from access to a ressource through law.
Also mental property is an absurd idea, because other than material property it's in the nature of information to be shared without restrictions. Mental property means its artificial usage restrictions by law.
| >>812864 Before getting into a fight are you a native english speaker? This is the definition of appropriation:
the act of appropriating or taking possession of something, often without permission or consent
You might be referring to a different word. Groups appropriate concepts all the time. White supremists appropriated that frog meme. Hong Kong protesters appropriated the frog and changed it's meaning. Cultural appropriation is a thing.
| holy fuck you idiots are actually arguing over word choice. first off fuck >>812117 because that post isn't even legible to begin with. I will send ten dollars to whoever can even explain to me what that first question says. fuck>>812562 for responding to ONE WORD in an absolute nonsense post with some bullshit that's entirely unrelated to this thread. you could actually just program a bot to post shit like this when you tards post certain buzzwords and it would contribute to the
| thread more. and fuck >>812833 and>>812893 for engaging with that C-tier bait because you feel like you know better. even though you don't have even the slightest clue about what cultural appropriation actually is because you are just blindly defending the legacy of some idiot fucking tumblr users from five years ago because they happened to be on your side when they were having no idea what they were talking about.
i need to stop coming to this board
| anyways OP is right, it's hilarious that there are people who take this milquetoast dogwhistle seriously. like at least the nazi ones are edgy
| Another thread bites za dusto.

>Cultural appropriation is a thing. Appropriation applied to material goods/resources is a thing (e.g. grave robbery) But cultural goods and resources are very often immaterial and usually owned by and accessible to the public. The only ways to appropriate immaterial cultural ressources is through privatization or governmental repression. The idea that only people of certain origin or ethnicity should have access to certain immaterial cultural goods is somehow racist.
| An example:
White people with dreadlocks are sometimes accused for doing "cultural appropriation", since this hairstyle is prominently known in some "black cultures". But do white people really "appropriate" this hairstyle by coping it? And can/should a cultural thing like a hairstyle really be restricted to a group of people based on their origin/ethnicity?
| However, I just introduced the specific issues of "cultural appropriation" to illustrate the general issue of what you could call "immaterial appropriation". This affects what this thread initially was about in a very fundamental way, since it implies an idea which is highly debatable from its core: mental property. On the other hand it also shows a highly esoterical/anti-materialistic understanding of reality, which is somehow schizophrenic.
