i told my friend something similar as the last line "even if they had cthulu heads"

Certainly it's easy to point to very clear examples of people disrespectfully co-opting something from someone else's culture, like as a costume or in mockery... but in general I think the dialogue our society is adopting is that all cultural transference is appropriation, which sorry, but in my opinion is completely stupid and historically blind to what the fuck a culture even is and how it comes to be.

No they wouldn't call themselves post punk or Goth or indie or anything because those terms were invented in retrospect to describe them

I mean Trots is correct even in such a trivial instance, it looks stupid for someone to personally identify with something they were not a part of, but we all are more seriously guilty of this in many day-to-day ways than elphenor thinking he is a "post-punker" or whatever.

Identities are passed and adopted in a lot of really complicated ways I guess, and there are a lot of "thin lines" around identification. We live in an interesting time because with the advent of the internet, it seems as if popular culture has stopped moving linearly, and has compartmentalized into a billion tiny niches, each one a reference to some cultural occurrence (mostly from the post-WWII era). I had a professor in school who used to talk a lot about how for most of the "modern era" young people essentially had a few different "uniforms" or subcultures/cultural niches to choose from, all of which were temporarily and geographically immediate. Now, a classroom full of young people is just as likely to contain a person who has listened to the entire Johnny Cash discography or is a silent movie buff, or dresses like a greaser than it is to contain kids whose cultural interests are limited to the present and the immediate.

i dont think its the position we're taking, i think its the poisonous attitude of college kids these days. they practically demanding racial segregation and balkanization. making "melting pot" non pc fir one thing. all culture everywhere ever is made up of a stew of other cultural elements. all human migration ends up co-opting and destroying "pure" culture. its a stupid position propelled by deranged radical philosophers, disingenuous concern trolls like mayfuck, and college aged children having slap fights on twitter.

we have special racial considerations in america ofc but balkanization is not an option. before long these din******s will be cl******g for separate but equal and/or homeland segregation

well, yeah, I actually agree with this totally. It is difficult to express though, because especially as a white person, to espouse such an opinion is increasingly looked at as just being racist and latently enforcing white supremacism.

I saw an article the other day calling for Jews to reverse their integration into white culture in the US, and to start just identifying as Jews again, to help undo white supremacy. This makes less than zero sense to me, especially in light of the contemporary intellectual understanding that race as culture is something inescapable, that it is defined primarily by privilege and oppression (hence why no white person can identify as black no matter how immersed in the culture that person is). If this is so, how can people who look white, who have been treated as white, who have enjoyed white privilege to the fullest extent and in many ways as a group far exceeded mainstream white Christian socioeconomic success... how can a group like this choose to not be white? I know there are many different voices and opinions in this discussion and I am not really being fair by lumping a bunch of them together and then pitting them against each other, but it can be quite hard to figure out. It sometimes does make me feel like many of these people are just insulating their own identities as "good whites" or "allies" while propagating a bunch of ideologies that have no consistency and ultimately are not doing anything to make white people less racist or to elevate non-white status.

internet publishes junk like that because clicks and comments drive revenue. that kind of radicalism really does much more harm than good

im sure most if not all jews think this person is retarded and further if that holds true then logically i should be able to separate from whiteness on account of being irish, whic is ultimately england's first stab at colonialist oppression. well the welsh and scots too perhaps.

im a little of a bunch of stuff, my fams, my heritage, my regional identity. ideally, and i feel this is true for myself, everyone should be mixing and interacting with each other and enjoying the richness of everyones cultures and forging a united identity

but that dont drive clicks n comments do it

right, exactly, it makes no sense. The thing is that this was an opinion piece in a national newspaper, it was written by a prominent rabbi, and the person who posted it is a former coworker who I generally think pretty highly of in terms of her social/political views. I just don't get how something like this make sense to people though, and this kind of let's smash white supremacy fervor has a serious hold over not just college kids but over academia and intellectual thought on race in general. Don't get me wrong, I hate white supremacy, and I do think we live in a white supremacist society, and I do believe that cultural co-opting is a real thing used to devalue non-white cultures. But the lengths to which many of these concepts and arguments are taken by "social justice warriors" today makes them totally senseless, and the attitude almost seems to be, "Fuck logic and intellectual questioning, it's time to DO something!" I'm not sure if it is indicative of something bigger or if it just the people I am exposed to, but over the last few years I have definitely perceived socially left america become more irrational and more extreme, and almost building a Fox News-esque echo chamber in their discourse.

which is miserable to watch because racists are also becoming more extreme and bold in their actions and words, and there are so many important things that need to be said and done to fight white supremacy, but what people want to talk about is how Miley Cyrus twerking on Robin Thicke is the nadir of the black experience in america

it is strong but I think it's still accurate. America and much of the West was built on top of the institution of black slavery, which didn't end until 150 years ago. Segregation didn't disappear from public spaces in some places in the US until the 1970s. I don't think the system of white supremacy has disappeared. We've rooted out some of the most obvious, surface level manifestations (don't get me wrong it is progress), but many of the underlying structures that hold black people back have not changed, or have just been replaced by different mechanisms. One party in the US is still officially for voter ID laws, we have a drug war and crime policy which just in general targets non-whites and an unassailable prison industry that profits from it.

tldr: personally as long as white people hold a superlative place in society and they as individuals or institutions fight to maintain that, I don't think it is unfair to say that is a white supremacist culture.

He'll yeah wipers! Haven't listened to them in too long. Is it true dude insisted on pressing his own vinyl b/c didn't trust anyone else to do it right? How the fuck does anyone have time to learn to press vinyl and also write/record? I can barely find time to write a bassline to a song I've had on the workbench for two years.

But srsly, for me it is (was) The Mountain Goats. For years, nobody I knew IRL knew them or could stand them when I played them. When I first met the lady who is now my ladyfriend about five years ago, it was the first time I had ever bumped into a real, flesh and blood fan of TMG.
