I wish we could go back to "racists" and "leftists" instead of alt-right and SJWs, to be fair :p |

Let's throw "bae" in there, just in case 2016 hadn't already killed that word. |

I think Bae died in 2016 but the sentiments on She's, Cuck and beta are right in the money in terms of needing to off. |

Actually, we're going through a bae renaissance:
A "rebaessance", if you will. |

Jesus christ Lira, show some mercy :haha:
It seems from the analytics that the shareprice of BAE systems, and two south korean celebrities are skewing the results so hopefully, that word will truly off. |

Why not? Is it something the author ignores or something that isn't well explained? From my part, I fail to see how he could be a fascist if:- He focuses on transaction rather than principles and;
- he's a staunch individualist.
Fascism experts seem to agree. The usual argument for Trump being a fascist is Umberto Eco's 14-step definition, but it's often applied in a very inconsistent manner. Saying he doesn't believe in global warming, for example, doesn't mean he's against modernism as a whole - yet that's how the author defends this point.
Or are you talking about something else? |

37. "Cultural Appropriation". I mean, sure, some "borrowing" may well be racist, but the world "racist" already exists, so I'm not sure this expression does any good.
|
I think the expression has value in that it lends itself to a more developed, nuanced understanding of some of the more insidious socio-ethno attitudes that would otherwise be meaninglessly blanketed up as 'racism.' I wouldn't even say that acts of cultural appropriation are necessarily racist or supremacist, but just speaks toward the way that people of an often privileged majority extract and superficially adorn their lives with the otherwise deep rooted features of another culture just because it appears novel them.
I would also be hesitant to lump the two terms together because I sense that calling it 'racist' jumps the gun on the whole 'value judgement' process. I'm sure there's value judgements to be made, but beginning our discussion with them prevents us from more thoughtfully and empathetically understanding what's actually happening when we see streets full of drunk white people in their sugar skull makeup on Dia de los Muertos , or dreadlocked stoners draped in Rastafarian aesthetic. |

I don't really think he's as much an individualist as you think, actually. Bannon et al. are very community focused - just, you know, the right sort of community. |
