Remembering that time the account with the ancap anime girl avatar called my talking about refugees preserving culture in the face of exploitation in a fictional setting "bashing free exchange," with a right caret like image board greentext.

@sc It's a weird term for a sort of appropriation and assimilationism apologia, as I understand it. Strip-mining other cultures for stuff that's useful to capitalism.

@sc I probably didn't define it as the ancap dictionary does, but that's the impression I get. The idea that it's all egalitarian and trying to hang onto your own culture as a form of resistance is retrograde.
