Those who seize
Appropriators are those who take or set aside something for a particular purpose.
In government, appropriators are legislators who control spending by allocating funds to agencies and programs: The appropriators on the budget committee held enormous power.
The term can also describe those who take something for themselves, sometimes without right: Cultural appropriators borrow from traditions not their own.
