    They didn’t develop that, they brought it with them.

      Our culture is appropriation of other cultures.

      Wait, shit, we got that from the British.

        Who got it from the romans, who got it from the Greeks.

        I don’t know where the Greeks got it from, but they probably appropriated it, too.

        I’d say rather than appropriation, it more like tossing a bunch of cultures in a blender and cooking something that hasn’t been seen in that exact form.
