Then the broken glass can be used to stop those fossil-fuel guzzling combat vehicles from getting any further by puncturing the tires, which can then be set alight about their pencil necks just like they do in South Africa and Haiti. Would that be cultural appropriation?

Would that be cultural appropriation? (Haiti and South Africa style use of burning tires on enemies)

I would hazard a guess that the earliest tire necklace atrocities were ones using American tires. Ones made in Ohio probably burned evenly due to better ingredients. Like old films of Cuba, Venezuela and others show an old Ford or Chevy, they probably bought American tires. Thus, no appropriation.
