Collectivist Appropriation
July 13, 2020

From a Collectivist point of view (which the mainstream currently holds) what happens to one happens to all. So ‘we’ all went through these things, as the Prime Minister has it..
“Over the last 15 months, we have been through a lot together – a terrorist attack, a volcanic eruption, a global pandemic and now its ensuing financial crisis – and I am truly thankful to each and every one of you for all you’ve done to support each other through difficult these times.”- Prime Minister’s newsletter, July 2020
When a tiger attacks the herd of springbok it’s perceived that the entire herd is prey, not some individual springbok. It’s not individual, it’s not personal. That’s the mindset brought forward to the human world. It’s a mindset of a prey animal, an r-selected animal, that takes no account of the individuality of a person. It’s Group Think.
From an Individualist point of view (very much in the underground currently) events happen to individuals. What is done to one is done to one, not to their tribal group or identitarian sect. To take someone’s personal ordeal or work and make out like it belongs to the group is an act of appropriation.
“If I had personally experienced the terrorist attack or volcanic eruption – directly or through family – I’d be thoroughly pissed off with the universalizing of these events….It diminishes the pain, the very private intense pain that was endured.”- Lindsay Mitchell
Deep down the Collectivists know that they are serial appropriators of the lived experience of individuals. This burns them, it creates a psychological problem they need to square. Rather than face it, they resort to the trusty Defence Mechanism of Psychological Projection: They point the finger at their out-group and claim that they’re the ones guilty of Appropriation. That’s why you hear so many accusations from Collectivists along those lines. It’s in conjunction with their act of appropriating the culture or the lived experience of others.
