    if social conservatives were smart they would covertly embrace and extend the application of the norm prohibiting "cultural appropriation" covertly because if their opponents caught on they would pivot on a dime

        the norm on its face aims to mandate a kind of "respect" foreign or non-dominant, and perhaps it accomplishes this end however, it has another practical effect

        if only members of a non-dominant culture can adopt recognizable elements of that culture, each non-dominant culture's memes become restricted to vertical replication meanwhile everyone can adopt any element of the dominant culture, horizontally: a massive evolutionary advantage

        that is, in practice "no cultural appropriation" is barely distinguishable from cementing the mores the dominant culture and prohibiting the general adoption of memes from non-dominant cultures, perhaps eradicating them long term

        I think no one who takes the concept seriously has any idea how long cultural exchange, even across and between vast continents, has been a thing in human history. Like all of human history

        No frankincense at catholic mass and we need to abolish most printed textiles because it's really hard to figure out exact etiology there

        the people you think will pivot have a remarkable ability to rationalize *not* doing that

        they won’t if you rationally explain to them how their ideas could actually be used opponents but if their opponents openly laud those ideas? the switch will flip so fast just out of reactionary habit
