I think cultural commodification is a better term for a big chunk of the bad part.

Canned Panda posted:This is in response to the Governor in Michigan requiring masks for kids in school at all times going in to flu season. Not specifically about this issue, (although this Principal is certainly an idiot.) But this is hosed up. All of these conspiracy/flat-earth/etc. types tell you to "do your research". Well here is someone who is doing his research, but he finds that none of it agrees with him, or is telling him what he wants to hear. Does he accept that? Does he say "well I have done my research, and found several articles/papers telling me X. I guess that Y is wrong."? No, the motherfucker goes online to ask people "Hey guys, I believe Y, but all the scientific research I am doing is telling me X. Please find me something that asys Y, so I can keep on believing it and tell myself and others that said belief is based in science." It's not good.

This guy posted this video (self explanatory title) in a covid argument. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYFJ0b8qvkw The description of the video includes a bunch of links with claims about why covid19 is apparently not real, but when you read the info they chose more closely they cherry picked very specific quotes which are cleared up, or contradicted, sometimes on the same page or same paragraph as what they quoted as proof of a hoax, and stuff like this: quote:According to Government facts/stats those WITH COVID19 live 1.2 years longer than those without. Someone further down in the FB comments addressed most of it, it was much longer than this.

The Supernatural talk made me think of this I stumbled across yesterday. I've never seen Supernatural, but my impression is it knows how to wink at itself and doesn't take itself too seriously. This on the other hand I assume is meant to be played straight...

there wolf posted:Cultural appropriation/exchange is when two culture meet and start swapping poo poo. It's not inherently negative or positive; it's just a thing that happens. It turns negative when one culture is so much bigger/more influential than the other that the things it borrows get re-coded as it's own, particularly when it changes them. Smaller cultures end up getting alienated from their own creations, and erased. Colonialism and capitalism contribute immensely to the negative side. But this doesn't affect Len personally, so how can it be a real problem?

Blackula Vs. Tarantula posted:But this doesn't affect Len personally, so how can it be a real problem? Well it affects all of us in that is has a deadening effect on culture, encouraging bigger cultures to leech off smaller ones for creativity which in turn pressures those cultures to make stuff for or at least with the dominant culture in mind resulting in more homogenization and stagnation. What I'm saying is... Letting Pat Boone have a career at all got us bro country and if that's not suffering, I don't know what is.

Smaller cultures end up getting alienated from their own creations, and erased. Colonialism and capitalism contribute immensely to the negative side. I think what you're describing here can be more aptly described as commodification (as another poster mentioned), which is harmless in each individual case, but harmful in aggregate. Cultural exchange is inherently positive; say someone teaches you their grandma's recipe for bomb-rear end fajitas or pierogi or whatever. Something is gained and nothing is lost. Cultural appropriation is inherently negative. This is when you misuse an element of cultural significance, like a Native American head dress or a Scottish clan tartan or Pacific Islander face tattoos. Anything that contains personal or tribal history as part of its expression. Things that would be a crime if the appropriated party had any ability to enforce it, like how stolen valor or even copying the Burberry pattern without a license is very illegal. Wearing a kimono or sharing a lovely recipe for chai is not appropriation, because that's "just" formalwear and a hot drink, but it can very much contribute to commodification, which is a different harmful thing.

MattY's one of those guys who says a lot of things in the hopes that some of them will be smart. In a context where no one is indexing everything he says, that probably works pretty well, but social media has really not been kind to him.

Well on an alcoholic drink in the UK, the vodka or rum or whatever generally gets served from an optic on the bottle that has a 25ml shot in rather than a free pour so it won’t affect that aspect. This concept applies to even glasses of water though. It used to drive my wife crazy when she’d come over and find it impossible to get her desired amount of cubes.

Note that this is not the case in American fast food joints like McDonalds and KFC.

DACK FAYDEN posted:The book has a pretty good premise (because all these wizards should be incredibly disconnected from modern society, and the protagonist is a depressed sadbrains), but the execution... eh, not so much. Intentionally or not, the books are a very good satire on why the US Ivy League “meritocracy” is extremely poo poo, combined with some highdeas about “what if fiction was real.”

BrigadierSensible posted:Not specifically about this issue, (although this Principal is certainly an idiot.) It's because people constantly ask them for sources for their bullshit, so they know that sources = good thing, but don't grasp the larger scientific method. To them it's "I know I'm right, so when I find something that backs me, it proves it" vs "I should go into this with a hypothesis and see if the research proves or disproves it." They're the same kind of people who will argue to the death that scientific theories are "just opinions" so we should give their crackpot explanations equal weight.

The example I like to give is sweat lodge ceremonies. As actual religious ceremonies, they take years of training and knowledge. But do a google search for "sweat lodge" and you'll see tons of websites offering the True Native Experience from white new age gurus. They're charging thousands of dollars for their bullshit, and in some cases it leads to death because they have no idea what they're doing. A lot of tribes are understandably pissed that people are commercializing their sacred rituals as a spa experience. hyperhazard has a new favorite as of 16:38 on Sep 29, 2020 |
