Back in my day, the left was boisterously protesting us intervention in the Middle East and the civil rights abuses of the PATRIOT act.
You know, real issues.
Even the fight for 15, as silly as I think it is, is a real issue.
These days we have the Ctrl left, the group of identity politics driven fragile thought police crybabies that go around finding anything and everything to be offended over.
These people are the reason Trump won, not Russia.
People who are struggling to put food on the table aren’t interested in being sucked into an alternate reality where everyone and everything is made of glass.
This really boils my blood.
Cultures and societies have evolved since the beginning of time by interacting and influencing one another.
Western civilization is a merger of middle eastern, Greek, and Germanic cultures. American culture blends that with Native American and blacks. Others have been influenced by western ideas of democracy, capitalism. and citizenship (the idea of equality that leftists love so much originates from the western Enlightenment.!hell, so did Marxism). Were it not for “cultural appropriation”, we would all be stuck in caves wondering where our next meal will come from.
It is interesting that if a white person even tried to celebrate his/her culture they would be branded a white supremacist and subject to summary beatings on sight, but simultaneously heaven forbid someone look at some other culture and say “I like that”, because hell will reign down on that person.
I might add that Buddhism is the result of the orient appropriating Indian culture, and basically everything from Japan is appropriated from China.
