THE LIE OF CULTURAL APPROPRIATION

Here is the propertarian translation of the criticism of Cultural Appropriation:

“I want something reason to feel good about myself, despite my people’s lack of excellences, achievements, talents, ability – I need to convince myself that I have status despite the contrary signals that I don’t.

“When competitors demonstrate yet another mastery, the mastery of my identity rituals, this deprives me of my false signals of status. It forces me to confront the reality of my status as it exists rather than as I wish it to be.

“Meritocracy only assists the superiors. The inferiors need means of finding acceptance and reward as well.”
