By Russell Grenning, published 19/7/2018

They are working hard on creating on three pieces of international law that would, if implemented, expand intellectual property regulations to protect things like indigenous designs, dances, words and traditional medicines.

The American and Western culture has been appropriated all over the world
even African villagers, have recycled mobile phones.

Cars which were invented by Ford are driven in countries all over the world.
Better turn all the Lights off in non western countries because Edison invented the light bulb.

Watt, the steam engine. Trains,Television,
China appropriated tonnes of ideas off the Western internet and turned them into
Designs and goods to sell in their shops.
Cultural appropriation by white people? Well, there’s a lot of tarnished kettles calling the
white Pot, black here.

I always wonder what is being referred to when stagnant stone age cultures are described as "rich & diverse".

I seem to remember that the secret women's business at Hindmarsh bridge was an invention of the the lefties. It seems that they have no problems owning cultural lies.

Progress is a natural phenomenon & culture is also developing as time goes on. Some so-called cultures though seem to have levelled out a long time ago. For example, the inexplicable & fascinating rock painings from 20,000 plus years ago appeared to have been stopped with no newer ones to be seen as yet. Some places show buildings & carvings of impecable skil whereas other areas have rather crude & child-like paintings. Why is it that there are no newer examples ? Just look at Papua New Guinea where they have massive gatherings with highly colourful displays whereas in Australia there is dancing. The mayans, Inkas, Egyptians, Asians all have buildings & carvings from the distant past. perhaps one day some such remnants will be found here too, posing the question which people have created them. I find it fascinating.

Individual, maybe they switched to better paintings etc but on more
materials that just do not last as long.
How many paintings of Dutch masters have been lost to war and fire ?
