Yes, but I think in the heat of the moment you meant "so as to be unable". Hostile much?
This behavior of appropriation might seem to be a major inheritance learned from just one peculiar people, which could be true in the sphere of religion, but in many other spheres such as law, history, medicine, science and philosophy the phenomenon of appropriation is no different from how Roman civilization consciously imitated everything Greek. In fact the Roman habit of synthesizing was a model for founding generation Americans, which is how America came to be a nation of immigrants.
This used to be a source of pride and self-identity among Americans regardless of background, who happily learned to imagine themselves as part of a great tradition spanning millennia and ethnicities. Now appropriation somehow makes one inauthentic.
Is a frame house preferable to a yurt?
