Cultural appropriation is not a thing

[DarrinS]

From costumes, to studying martial arts, to doing yoga, to salsa dancing, to eating "ethnic food", it's not a thing.

I agree.

[Spurminator]

Good talk, feel better?

Stay off Tumblr, you won't get so angry about this stuff.

[Oh, Gee!!]

define "thing"

[pgardn]

define "thing"

The opposite of nothing.

Nothing- not matter, not space-time, not energy of any form.

A relative of the ideas of infinity and its evil cousin, zero.

Cultural Appropriation is not matter, not space-time, and is not energy

Cultural Appropriation is not matter, not space-time, and is not energy

Yes it is.

It is an idea created by a biological process. The idea exists only as neuronal pathways firing electrical signals. The memory that allows us to bring up this firing multiple times likely has its beginnings as proteins circulating throug brains. So it's energy and matter.

Yet we humans with all our hubris think ideas we create are some magical en y floating in nothingness.

I think I'm pretty good at starting with very little and just making stuff up.

[pgardn]

Yeah.

Its something.

[Oh, Gee!!]

Yeah.

Its something.

but darrin said it's not a thing. Why would he lie?

[pgardn]

but darrin said it's not a thing. Why would he lie?

Im thinking he's stealing my things and using them as his things. So if I attempt to sue for usurping my intellectual rights, he will claim it's nothing.

What is mind? No matter. What is matter? Never mind.

[pgardn]

Define "is" too.

Did you see them Twitter s shaming that highschool girl over a dress? Smdh. These people have issues. They just invent ways to bully people.

[Winehole23]

Isn't that sort of what Twitter is for?

[Winehole23]

The pile ons do not respect ideological boundaries: it's a free for all.

[Winehole23]

oh, except for special snowflakes who feel picked on and have nowhere else to go.

get a life. Google and Twitter and Facebook don't owe anyone a living, unless you want to argue that they're not private firms but public utilities.

[AaronY]

The dress thing was ridiculous and its good she didn't take her tweet down but poli s are like representative of like .8% of the population

[AaronY]

Why not blowing SJW and Alt-right losers on twitter out of proportion is the right way of looking at it:
