"Cancel culture" puts a modern spin on the age-old social dynamics of public shaming. Today, it's also often associated with accountability and social justice. #cancelculture #socialjustice #newsy

The cancel culture is like a manifistation of the novel "nineteen eighty-four", the cancellers being the thought police

@amrit3213 Жыл бұрын

OMG! thank you for this. I feel the same way. Anyone who has seen 1984 can see the downside to this Cancel Culture. Anyone including Cancel Culture who has not seen 1984 should see it! Cancel culture has become an extremeist group. Many families have broken up due to this cancel culture. There is no room for forgivness, reconcilation and second chances. They have become the Online Thought police. No one can have an opinion that is contrary to them. This is censorship at its best and worst.

cancel culture either doesn't exist or has always existed depending on how broadly you define it. nothing different is happening now from before, it's just online. even then a lot of people who have been "canceled" or have said stuff that would be reason enough to cancel them are doing completely fine.

Cancel culture is very bad. It makes people very close-minded which makes them to proud of themselves. It is making people to claim they are always right. This is why, be careful on social media, do not always be influenced. Some people are not meant to copy or idolize. No need to block or cancel but choose to whom to pay attention more.

I could see how someone could withstand social stigma because they could carry on and find many likeminded people. The problem is now they are starting to restrict free speech legally and close bank accounts. Eventually no one will be able to withstand it because they want a job and don’t want to go to jail under hate crime laws where they will die in their sleep.

I say we let Cancel Culture grow to its ultimate form... the only way people will learn when they have no one else left to cancel but themselves... they will turn on each other. It's an addiction/rush for people to control the fates of others, they cannot help themselves. This is not about pushing for positive change... this is about yelling and shaming people to make you feel in control for times you were bullied for your interests/beliefs when you were growing up.

Low Intensity Conflict (where the opposition is up against a Maoist-style insurgency). It's building up to either the capitulation of the assailant's opposition through incremental suppression, memetic repetition ("The Cathedral") and gradual acquisition of authority, or the manifestation of a kinetic conflict, which the assailant (and the opposition, but not because they are inept) wants to avoid as much as possible. Considering that no matter the response taken by the opposition, whether it be submission to demands, indifference, or (as of recent) resistance, the assailant always doubles down and resorts to increasing degrees of violence tells me they''re not going to stop until we're dead, much like most left-wing, low-trust movements. The protests against the Vietnam War, and subsequent violence from orgs like the Weather Underground were just episodes of this insurgency while the affected demographics were in their prime. During their lull, they either obtained promotions, observed why their movements died out, or both, then made adjustments, then waited for the markets to crash (2008). They have two wings, a "legal/public" wing, and a paramilitary wing (Per the Maoist insurgency model) that compliment each others strengths and weaknesses (the "culture war" is a more ubiquitous, if a bit lacking, summation of what's really going on). The leadership of these movements very well know what they're doing. They are bad people. And they bait people into serving them on the psuedo-abrahamic promise of a utopian world after the dust settles, and "evil" is annihilated from the face of the earth. TL;DR, It was all a part of the plan ever since the Frankfurt school set up shop to convert Boomers (then Boomers converting Millenials via less direct means) into revolutionaries. You may want to learn more from fellows like Dr. James Lindsey (New Discourses), Christopher Rufo, and Unconstrained Analytics for more information. All I can say is things are likely going to get worse even if we in the opposition start putting up a more substantial fight, assuming that the legal wing of the assailants doesn't find a way to incapacitate the opposition's leadership, or intimidate sponsors, crucial grassroots organizers, and local, still inexperienced security apparatuses via their paramilitary wing.

Well anything extreme is bad doesn't matter if you support a ideology or not. What recent events shows that people supporting cancel culture are very extreme in their nature and doesn't have patience to fully understand the situation rationally. A very good example of this is Johnny depp and Amber Heard case, when it begun everyone jumped on the bandwagon to cancel Johnny Depp as a result he lost couple of his contacts and job but later on when the case was properly uncovered turns out it was Amber who was guilty, now how are people going to pay for the lost contracts and trauma that Johnny faced because of this cancel culture because of the people. What is most important is that Humans have very fine brain use that rationally, logically and patiently to understand the situation don't just fuck around like testosterone enraged cave man.

In terms of cancel culture, I find that I will state my end, with honesty, and let them do what they want with it, after. I stated my piece, and I won’t go arguing about it or bowing down and giving them power. I’ve made inappropriate jokes about terrorism, racist jokes, racist comments, and had my fill of manipulation. But I haven’t made the mistake of acting on that or empowering myself with that negativity. I know it’s wrong and at the end of the day, I’ve learned to push those things out of my life.

This is the work of 2 different types of brains nurotypical a d nurodivergent and a misunderstanding and lack of meaning learning disabilities we have labeled in this world.. at least this is what Ive noticed upon the majority of canceling. I've seen it take lives of people I know, ruin trust and overall self of others. Because of that I feel safer to isolate.. I'm nurodivergent. This world and society is built around those whom are nurotypical. Nurodivergent people usually don't react to change easily and social interactions is a downfall positively. It often gives us a bad rep of the community. Nurodivergent can usually include those with ADHD which I personally am untreated for but have been diagnosed my entire life, any learning or physical disabilitys in which affect your overall self with society as well. (For example physical or other learning or behavioral disabilitys can be autism, dyslexia, tourretes, fetal alcohol syndrome which gets a bad rep, ocd etc,) we all have been pushed down in the dark of society and I can see a lot of that comming out the wider the internet travels. And now that we are finally able to speak from the isolation is is being pushed back down and now that society is becoming more open especially due to social media it's also becoming pushed away more. We are now pushing back at ourselves and others of both nurological and physic. I don't know what is right or wrong but perosnally I kept isolated and away.. and even though I hate to stay under the covers I feel safer heat and understand it's gone way to far Is it even reverable anymore. Wish we can just accept others and move on rather than try to prove each other's wrong or right. We react very slowly to change especially in beliefs but I don't see why we need to push it on others when it's not ours to push. We can speak but pushing belief whether for good or bad is to far. .. Great historical example of cancel culture I can think of is the crusades .. it seems very similar

It's all about accountability and doing the right thing, even if you don't want to. The term "cancel" may be an unfortunate name but it doesn't mean you should be literally canceled or go off somewhere and die. It's a way to make people be responsible for what they say and do. There are those who believe they can go out to the community of life and say whatever it is that pops in their brain no matter who it hurts or cuts down. People against cancel culture are the same ones who use foul, hurtful language to cancel others themselves through cuts and knicks at their way of life or who they are in real life. Who are they to judge others and not expect to be judged back. Cancel culture or whatever it is you want to call it is a good thing for the time being.
