Yeah, so we adapt it and absorb it into OUR culture, the DOMINANT culture.
What do we have to do, learn Hindi and wear our fucking bed sheets around?
Pay a small licensing fee maybe?
Don't join the other loser cultures griping about "appropriation".

If it's useful or superior, it SHOULD be appropriated.

I don't think Americans have any problem that India is using telephones, televisions, computer chips, the Internet, or anything else that was invented on this continent.

So sick of this stupid whining about "cultural appropriation". You know what food I hate? Nearly all European food, but I'll tell you, chana masala is still one of my favorites, and Desi Pizza - done right, it's just incredible and I'm not going to turn up my nose up at those businesses that make it just because you're a bigot.

And I've met quite a few Indian bigots. It doesn't bother me. One guy at a large unnamed company I worked for ONLY hired Indians. His group is a mess, because he just doesn't have the ability to recruit better workers, because he's a racist. Think I care? No, I just quit and am watching that division of that company slowly burn.

What I find amusing is that @indc doesn't understand the scientific method.

The fundamental goal of science is to incorporate ALL knowledge and discard the superstitions entirely. It's a very noble goal - acquire all knowledge that can be obtained, and verify the knowledge by a set of tests to verify it is correct. Gee, look at how horrible THAT has gone? Now I can talk to an Indian on the other side of the planet, or quite possibly I'm talking to an Indian on this side of the planet because they made use of a Jet plane aircraft. Oh the humanity!!!

Many people don't appreciate it, but the average person lives better than the richest and most powerful king did just 200 years ago because of the scientific method.

When your science proves that so called "superstitions" is actually science isn't it it's responsibility to acknowledge it? They could have easily used the sanskrit name so that its roots are not lost. But no its from a pagan culture so no acknowledgement is needed.

There is a list of 5 items which are appropriated just in that image. And you are complaining that this is a strawman arguement?

Funny story, explained by another indian to me. He met a lady from midwest, and the lady was saying how she practices yoga and how good it is for her. He asked her so she likes the knowledge shared by hindus to the world. The lady was flabbergasted, she thought yoga came from some studio in California. HAHAHA.

Why don't you explain what "appropriation" means to you?

From what I've seen it applied to, it means simply adopting something from another culture. There's NOTHING wrong with that. This is called "development". The reason you want to have multiple systems of government and multiple systems of morality, and religion, is that different systems produce different outcomes, and from those outcomes one can identify what worked in that system, and what didn't, and adopt it improving their own particular system. The pieces of that culture are brought into the other cultures.

A single world religion, government, and culture will lead to permanent stagnation. Europe was a backward craphole for over a 1000 years after the Roman Empire fell. It left stagnation when the Americas were discovered and new cultures began to emerge from the new systems. Discoveries and improvements were brought back to Europe, and Europe was FORCED to adopt superior methods of culture because America, was frankly, kicking their ass and people were abandoning Europe for the Americas.

I dont want to usually reply to your comments because you are one dumb f shit. But today I want to say something to you. Learn before you talk. Do you know about indus valley civilization?

Do you know that your ancestors used to take a bath once a year? When they came to india they were making fun of Indians for taking bath everyday. HAHAHA. India has 10000yr old history. So stop your stupid comments of shitting in street and living in mud huts.

This is an entirely new definition to me.

I was thinking every culture appropriates from another. Which religion invented/owns meditation? Did it originate from Buddhism or Hinduism? The answer is, who cares? It's useful. You know what prevents Christians from ever engaging in meditation? Some think it's blasphemy because it's "Buddhist" or "Hindu". It's not. It's a useful technique to clear your mind and find peace for a few minutes so you don't go nuts.

18   Shaman   2021 Aug 24, 12:14pm  

Yes I know, old as shit civilization. Thousands of years and made virtually zero progress towards anything that mattered. Frequently conquered by more energetic civilizations, but they didn’t stick around long because nobody wants to live in a malaria hole. Rigid social class/caste system that was more inflexible than sharia law for thousands of years. Widows forced to toss themselves on their dead husband’s funeral pyres. No advances in systems of government beyond monarchy, religious, and bureaucratic oppression.

Very admirable.
What exactly are you proud of?

Do you know why Europeans took a bath so infrequently?

When the Roman Empire collapsed, the public bath houses weren't maintained, and over time, the ancestors simply didn't have the ability to maintain them - so because the Roman Catholic Church (which really was just the government of Europe, it was the successor to Rome) just declared that bathing was ungodly.

Learning and adopting different and superior ideas from other cultures is a GREAT thing. It brought about our current modernity. It would be good if the Americans learned what resistance led to the collapse of the USSR for example. I think that collapse was pretty bloodless - it was INSTANTLY taken over by a bunch of mafias though. It would be good of Americans learned what led to the the Nazi state in Germany. PARTS of the Nazi revolution there were good, some obviously not.

As long as it's not classified - yes.

I don't believe we should hoard good ideas. As China gets more advanced and the population more wealthy and powerful, they can exert more pressure on their government.

You realize that our establishment in the United States has always been this corrupt don't you? I can assure you, our media hasn't changed a bit in at least 20 years, it's ALWAYS been propaganda. What's actually changing is people are realizing that it's propaganda now, without realizing it was the same propaganda before. This is causing our very corrupt establishment a little discomfort.

Ever hear of the "great awakening"? This was coined not by some conspiracy theorist, it was coined by Zbigniew Brzezinski, and he was worried about it.

The reason, at least I, worked on the early Internet was to bring this about. I know a LOT of people who did. The purpose of building this communication system, was to share information, and not just technical information, but banned information. Julian Assange sure as hell believed in it, and he's my age. He paid a hell of a price for it but there will be more, and instead of having a single focal point like Wikileaks, there will be thousands, then hundreds of thousands.

I'm not enemies of some Chinese citizen, of Afghani, or Syrian, or Libyan. Our establishments are enemies and neither of our establishment tends to treat us very well. The truth is that (nearly) every government is enemies to its citizens and those that aren't, our nation attacks.

Again meditation is not a culture it is science. west copying culture I would say go nuts. But copying science and then cutting the source is wrong.

Assigning "culture" and "superstition" to science you dont understand and later saying that its your own is wrong.

Good explanation. Now to the idiot who keeps complaining about indians living in squalor. Invaders looted everything they had. Just UK is said to have looted 45trillion from India. Once the roman civilization ended it took 1000yrs for europe to come to some form of civilization again. India is just 75yrs old.

I wouldn't say the occupation of India by England WAS a bad thing. It (mostly) ended the practice of Sati, it brought in modernity, it ended royal rule, it united a nation that had been fighting among one another for centuries, it (technically) ended the caste system, and it created a common language - English.

The English were far from perfect, but they weren't perfectly awful. If India made it to England first and conquered it, I'm pretty certain England would be entirely populated by Indians by now.

People complain about the abuses of European cultures, but it's deceptive. They were hardly the most brutal occupier. If you landed in Japan in 1700, you know what would have happened to you? You'd be killed. The Incas were entirely brutal. The Native Americans were disunited and were at constant war among their tribes.

Do you know that Lewis and Clark brought along with them an air gun? When they met a new tribe, they would demonstrate the weapon by shooting at a tree. It was 300 PSI and shot (I believe) a lead bullet. The did this to demonstrate their power should they be attacked and they never were attacked. To this day, some sniper rifles are air powered. This is because they shoot at below subsonic speed (quieter) and produce no visible exhaust. They go up to I believe 3000 PSI. I do not believe there are ANY restrictions on air powered rifles but you cannot recharge them very quickly.

Every single ethnic group had dreadlocks at one point. You know what ended this practice?

Combs.
27   Rin   2021 Aug 24, 4:16pm  

I believe I've answered this question some time back ... Joseph Pilates, a German-American, who was interned during WWI, combined hatha yoga with gymnastics/physical culture, to develop one of the best physical therapy systems of all time ... now named Pilates.

This system has spread throughout the west and outside of it, as the best way of developing core strength and rehabilitation.

If this were the year 3000 AD, someone like indc would say that Pilates was an Indian guy, not realizing that he synergized elements of an Indian tradition with western practices.

Even my moniker, Rin, is a hand mudra originating in ancient India but found its way to medieval Japan's ninjitsu. And yes, the Japanese built a martial arts system out of it.

https://patrick.net/post/1336626/2020-11-17-ok-here-is-rin



So is indc saying that the 16th century Japanese (east not west) have appropriated Indian knowledge despite having built a martial arts system out of it? Where's India's ninjitsu program?

I dont know about ninjitu. But you need to check with some older japanese to understand where their culture comes from.

If you want india's martial arts. there is kallaripaiyatu. which was banned by british because it was creating a martial race which they were not able to control.

Dreadlocks are a type of hairstyle:




Wearing them, if you're white (and I think a couple other races) has been called "cultural appropriation" although every culture that lacked the basic technology of a comb had them at one point. You will eventually get dreads if you stop combing your hair.

You can find many examples of the Greeks and Romans from 2000 years ago having dredlocks in their artwork.

Haha - they improved the culture.

Trust me, you would not want to live in 1700's India, anymore than I would want to live in 1700's Europe or America.

You'd be under a strict caste system. You'd almost certainly have to had to deal with war. No running water, no vehicles, no ability to communicate more than 30 miles. Books are super expensive and rare. What's a washing machine?

When I was a kid, I had a great grandmother, and when she was a child she went to school by horse and buggy. There was strict segregation between religions - Methodists and Catholics did NOT get along. She was subhuman, being Polish. When I talked to people of her generation, the biggest thing that changed for them over their lifetime is that "life became so easy". No vacuum cleaners, no dish washers, no microwave, no electric or gas stove, no washing machine.

You scrubbed clothes by hand, you wrung them out. You took rugs outside and beat them to clean them. Lighting was done by kerosene lamps, books were rare and very expensive - that's why education books like these:

https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/search/?query=McGuffey%27s+Eclectic+Reader&submit_search=Go%21

Were so dense. Those books are for teaching reading and writing, from the basics, up until collegiate level. See how large they were.

Forcible mixing of culture was inevitable and I don't have an OUNCE of regret what the Europe did to India, because I had no control over it, or responsibility for it. Good or bad, it happened. I wouldn't exist if there wasn't a potato famine in Ireland and if Hitler didn't exist. Both those events didn't only make me possible, it made you possible. We're all a product of everything that came before us.

You have to be careful with this. Child mortality rates in reservations even today are very high. There wasn't a ton of money in these places that kept and raised these children. Infant mortality rates were very high until the 1940's. Smallpox, influenza, measles, mumps - infections. Before penicillin.

Unmarked graves? How do you know? Do you expect a marble tombstone? Or do you expect a wooden cross that rots away in 5 years? Modern Americans do not appreciate what life was like. Read about the children of our presidents, of Lincoln, of Washington, of Jackson. Notice how many of their children died, and they were wealthy and powerful people - and they still couldn't prevent it.

That's a movie. It's fiction.

Here's a deadly serious question - there's an entire country in Africa reserved for any African American that wants to go back to Africa - it's called Liberia. See anybody packing up to go there? The original plan of Lincoln was to repatriate the slaves, he would be considered horrifically racist by today's standards. The United States is one of the best nations in the world for a black man to be. Talk to somebody from Africa - I have. One friend saw his friends murdered one by one by the communists that took over Ethiopia.

And slavery was certainly not moral, but before there was slavery, captured men from other tribes (or peoples) were simply killed, the male children were killed, and the women were incorporated into the conquering society.

Slavery was a STEP UP. The conquered men were sold, at least they could make some money from the sale.

Do you ever wonder why the Muslim states in the Middle East doesn't have a black population despite the rampant slavery they had in the 1700's? They castrated all the men. They didn't just remove their testicles, they cut off their entire penis and testicles in Africa, then left them to recuperate. If they survived they became slaves, if they didn't, they didn't.

Humanity is monstrous and it's not just white people. India had the practice of Sati - that is forcing a widow to burn to death on her husband's funeral pyre. What a horrific way to die, and that was COMMON. Shit, even the Europeans weren't ever that barbaric, only witches were killed that way, but in India, more than 1/2 the women died that way. That's fucking crazy. That continent DESERVED to be conquered to end that practice.

Every race is an inch away from being just fucking evil.

I live a comfortable, easy life, but if I was born in another time, I'd be an entirely different person. As barbaric and savage as anything you can imagine. This is because Europeans made the world comfortable and easy. Even though we are plenty fucking savage, we are far less savage. Think war is awful now? If this was 1950, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Syria, Pakistan, Somalia, and Libya would have been DEFINITELY conquered, with 1/2 the population easily dead. If we had a conflict then, it would have been nuclear bombs.

Do you know how the US conquered the Philippines? The Filipino men went into the hills to fight a guerrilla war and left their family behind - so the US military started killing the people left behind demanding surrender and the Filipino men did. This was around 1900. We COULD conquer the Afghanis no problem, if we drop to complete barbarity. Public won't support it though. We wouldn't need to kill the Taliban men, we'd just kill all the women and children. Then they can't run can they? They have to protect their wives and children. One on one, would be EASY to win.

We wouldn't have to even do that, just sterilize them all and wait 25 years. We can do that with a single pill for women, and for male children, we can do it with a 5 minute procedure with a syringe.

You think we're monsters now? Pray to god you never see the savagery that we can do and simply chose not to do because of our moral sensibilities, which you whine and moan about. You keep calling us immoral and evil, well, if we become evil, you'll finally see the face of it.
