That isn’t the point. He isn’t drawing comparisons. Obama was a “disaster” to some. Those folks likely disagree with your positions on politics. They can also agree Trump is a disaster too.

Nope. Nothing will likely be good enough, so just accept it. Blogs like this don’t get clicks by being satisfied.

Hah. Really? It is hard to tell because it reads like some batshit crazy nonsense.

And you call me a racist! Fucking priceless. You literally are disparaging me because of my race - or is that irony lost on you? You are insulting the fact I am half Algonquin and then insulting the fact I happen to be half white. My god that is hilarious!

Really? Because it doesn’t suit your narrative, you go for that shit? Fucking pathetic. Come back when you have a real argument.

More like half you fucking idiot (father was full Algonquin), but whatever, assume away because you desperately need that narrative. DESPERATELY. And name one fucking thing I said was racist. ONE. Just because you don’t agree with my position doesn’t mean I am racist.

Our current 2A Rights. Better? Stop getting hung up on semantics and actually offer some useful input.

Strawman. Not biting.

Strawman. That is not the discussion. Try harder.

Is that... satire?

Nope. North Carolina actually... which is sad to admit. Pretty disgraceful state. Also, you put “pay homage” in quotes like it is untrue, but you literally have no idea what my art looks like. And good job assuming my whiteness! Not correct, but good try!

Nope. Not hard. I am not going to go on a calling spree to every single tribe that remotely influenced my art and ask if its cool that I make it. That is stupid. Inspiration happens. Homages are paid. It should just be a basic understanding and respected for what it is - art.

Fuck you, pal. I will make any art I see fit. You going to tell POC artists to stop emulating European styles? No? Then quit bitching. And I am not ashamed of being white (and Algonquin, thanks). I am just of the opinion that cultural appropriation in this matter is absurd. Art is art, inspiration comes from all over…

Would those same folks selling those items for pesos ever have access to the market these large-scale companies and designers have? Nope. So it is moot to say that somehow this hurts those small-time village vendors. They are likely still selling their stuff and doing fine.

And telling me to un-clutch my pearls…

“First Americans” is synonymous with Native American. I am not appropriating, because that is a stupid concept. Inspiration comes in all forms and to start setting totally arbitrary limits on art is unacceptable. Culture is to be shared and enjoyed by anyone and everyone. Suddenly making some cultures off-limits to…

Oh good, another stupid fucking post by another anti-2A idiot without a single good idea to contribute. Good job furthering the discussion!

I disagree. You can’t tell an artist what they can or can’t do, be inspired by, or want to pay homage to (excluding obvious copyright/trademark issues, but even then I think it depends). It doesn’t hurt anyone. At all. No harm is caused by someone selling prints inspired by First American art, unless as I said, it is…

What the fuck are you on about? For one, inspiration isn’t often a choice. I fell in love with the art of the PNW First Americans. And why look them up? I don’t need their permission to be inspired.

And how is making art inspired by and in homage of their own art hurting anyone? Hint: It fucking doesn’t.

Good for you. Thanks so much for posting that! My life literally couldn’t have gone on without knowing what motivated you to stop reading!

Yes, it is in the context, but it is a broad statement that the right will not be infringed as a means to enable people to make a well-regulated militia if they wish.
