good lad for linking the source
Near anything in existence was considered sacred or "treasure" by some group at some point in time. Japan has a town and festival that literally treats dicks as an object of veneration. There are some tribes in in the SEA Islands that straight up worship military equipment and random American servicemen they met once who showed them technology.
But we don't stop and whine about how its evil to not see people respect the Dick or the American Made Rifle.
Dick Tracy has an awesome statue in Chicago. I've yet to see someone praying to him.
Cargo Cults were weird.
That last sentence has never been made before.
I've heard of this. The infamous John Frum.
As in "Hi, I'm John, from America."
Reportedly, when asked several years ago why they were still doing this, one of them gave this answer:
"We've been waiting for our savior to return for sixty years. You've been waiting for 2,000."
This complainer is a long-time concern troll who has dedicated his entire life to this kind of shit. From his own website https://taiuru.co.nz/classic-racist-reply-to-claims-of-cultural-appropriation/ he 'debunks' why he himself is not an appropriator despite using the internet and dressing like an Englishman. In fact, it is racist to question him at all.
He makes a great case for Racism being a completely made up concept. I hope his reach spreads far.
Imagine having nothing better to do with your time.
Good lord. The only thing worse than an idiot is a credentialed idiot. Let’s all pitch in and send him canned pineapples so he will die of the beetus inherent in his DNA profile.
So what is it? I seem to remember, and quite recently that the usual people complained about birds having "white people" names, then there's birds that have not white people names and you are not allowed to use them? Contraction seems to be the leftists favorite thing to do.
If they had a solid case, their arguments wouldn't fall apart under a half a second of scrutiny.
Exactly. This guy’s rebuttal consists of “they were mean to us so me stupid.”
What is it? They want the White race to stop existing, that's what.
Controlling what you say is the first step to controlling what you think or what you do.
It's just a means to an end. It's all about control with these types. It always has been.
There's no contradiction here. The unifying principle is hatred for white people and making sure they cant have anything nice.
Clear and concise. The perfect answer. People need to learn it's that easy.
block, ban, add to enemies list
If the natives didn't appropriate any English culture, it would be impossible to converse with such uncivilized peoples though...
Fun fact: despite crows making up just 13% of the population they account for 60% of all crimes. Hell, a group of them is literally called a "murder".
But crows are actually intelligent.
Seagulls in the other hand are totally the darkys of the bird world.
I'm loosely working on a project with some people who are dealing with a Native American tribe in building a plant identification key using the Native names.
They're very concerned about keeping the key private because they don't want people to know their secret words for the plants.
I'm like, "thanks for the cash. I hope nobody ever uses this and that your stupid magic words die with you."
kia ora?
It's too orangey for crows.
Who'll be my dog?
Kia ora really confuses Spanish speaking kiwis. They keep on saying hello and then giving the time.
My favorite part is that the Maori killed off the giant birds of New Zealand when they arrived in ~1300/1400s. Maori extincted more species than Europeans did!
Real sacred.
Based. this is how you deal with these people
Wait until this fool learns of Tapu Koko, Tapu Lele and the like from Pokemon Sun and Moon...
The last games in the franchise I played before I dropped it, too, and it seems that was the right place to stop. I hear Legends Arceus is great, though.
