The Problems with "Cultural Appropriation"

 It's collectivist, it pins the faults of an unequal society onto individuals. It acts as if those individuals were responsible for discrimination. Especially when it conflates separate aspects of society such as business and fashion, which attract separate personalities.

It also admonishes people for expanding their horizons. Becoming cultured is bad because it's "disrespectful" to learn about cultures for one's individual gain. And the reason it's disrespectful is because it shatters the false meaning people ascribe to symbols and actions.

Reconciling truth and the Conceptual.

 The Conceptual is the point of Conceptual Luciferianism. Ultimately, what's true will be at the level of individuals. However, this phase has not come yet, so now we are stuck under the truth.

Ignoring the issues with their aversion, they act as if changing it would be bad. Most of these entities were Gods in solar paths. Reinterpreting them to allow the individual access to their power wouldn't be unjust. This process, which I call Goetification, is when deities that thrive of subjugation and destruction of the individual are made into engines for the use of Magick. Given the past of the previous woman-to-man gender flips, male-to-female creations will be allowed, so long as they aren't based on idpol. Another method would be Infernomancy, which would be trying to access the evil sides of solar paths, such as the near-universal sins of greed, lust, destruction of enemies, and praise of the self.
