I had a salad for lunch. Concerned I may have appropriated vegan culture.

This “cultural appropriation” crap is not going to go away, is it?

More from Yahoo! Canada:
Indigenous advocates from around the world are calling on a UN committee to make appropriating Indigenous cultures illegal — and to do it quickly.
Delegates from 189 countries, including Canada, are in Geneva this week as part of a specialized international committee within the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), a United Nations agency.
Since it began in 2001, the committee has been working on creating and finishing three pieces of international law that would expand intellectual-property regulations to protect things like Indigenous designs, dances, words and traditional medicines.
Gee, what could possibly go wrong?
This is illiberal, ridiculous, and downright dangerous https://t.co/uhNQQmJ41e

In what universe is this helpful?
Who gets to determine who gets to do what? How many generations back to we go? How is this going to be enforced? This is absurd.

It has to be said…again.
What a stupid time to be alive.

The perpetually aggrieved crowd is making this a stupid world to live in.

I shudder to think what it's going to be like in twenty years.

It's just going to get worse. Liberals will stop at nothing.
