I don't see this as a rant, in fact I hink these kind of posts are the best type: taking a subject and analyzing the social implications that generated the issue and tear it apart in an objective way, ending with an opinion well based and favct checked.

I think the same way as you and maybe this will sound too harsh and may win me some haters but i dont mind: SJWism in a fanatical way can lead to this situations where, to get momentum, pressure certain social group or simply to make noise, we as "free people" are becoming more and more limited on the way we act, speak or even think.

I read a few days ago that a twitch user got banned because she was cooking some meal and she didnt look like a person from the "race" the food belonged. It turned out her father or mother (i dont recall perfectly) was from that race but twitch mods didnt care. There is like 3 racist stances in this situation and i can begin to decide which one annoys me the most and which one is more stupid and logical than other.

I am all pro cultural compartimentalization. The easiness for us to travel, immigration, globalization and other things are tearing apart some cultures and i dont like that because some beautiful cultral activities, traditions, even languages are getting lost because of the mass culture adoption some countries are doing. We even have the term "americanization", and its not wrong, as you said, global, regional and national culture is constantly changing and people "adopt and adapt" any brhaviour, food, mindset or whatever from any other person or country they want.

On the other hand, I actually hate to see mexicans calling themselves kawaii and acting as if they are an anime character (to cite one example, nothing against japan or anime, i lile it). But the fact that i dont like people not embracing their own culture and conserving their own traditions and lifestyle, doesnt mean im going to start a social movement where i intend to limit them or forbid them to dress, eat, act or whatever they feel like doing. Cultural appropiation doesnt exist, it is just a social movement invented to give momentum and noise to a political agenda.

To finish this bible like comment, i am seeing blonde european girls walking around in a central american streets, wearing an indigenous poncho, a rastafari hairstyle, nose piercings from africa and singing in spanish (i wonder if these people who defend cultural appropiation think learning a language is appropiation a culture) and its beautiful to see that mix of cultures and tastes.

This was written on a shuttle van in the middle of central america so excuse my typos and maybe some grammar mistakes, i hope my point got accross.

This was probably the best post ive read from you, i hope the "rants" continue. I would like in the future to read your opinion about racism, 4th wave feminism and a lot more topics, but them being so strongly charged with political and social implications are a subject we probably want to avoid in a blockchain based platform. Sometimes i wish i could write my political stance and opinions about social matters, but we ve seen people getting crushed into oblivion just for giving their opinion about delicate matters, so i just keep my thoughts to myself most of the times, but this post is pire magic man, congrats.
