I think it was dormant, especially when it got out of control and people were going after the wrong people. But now, in my opinion, what we are seeing is a direct consequence and evolution of that culture.

I think it was dormant, especially when it got out of control and people were going after the wrong people. But now, in my opinion, what we are seeing is a direct consequence and evolution of that culture.
The meaning of words changes because of time. We will be cheering for fascism in 6 weeks.
A law professor from Duke wrote a whole ass book talking about seeing black people in George Washington and the Constitution.
Cowardice arrogance complacency and ignorance
From those in positions of influence
And from the people in general.
We allowed the other side to build and develop and normalize the truly worst traits in society and this is the result.
This is because we allowed trolling hot takes both sides pettiness greed fake contrarianism ignorance and mistrust of higher learning, mistrust of science, online abuse, woke as a negative, etc to thrive and grow.
Cancel culture is a myth and never really existed...
Until now.
Yes, from 400 hundred years ago. Today, we have many more elements.
I just realized that was a reverend!
Philosophical, yes, it was a myth, but reality was different for many. So much so, that students were doing campus interviews and research about it. That was only a couple of years ago.
The problem we are seeing now is the people who had the influence can now weaponize it against people. It’s all part of a chaotic system, which we never account for how something can evolve just as long as it is working the way we want it to work.
You left out public kidnappings.Dawg when I said the Pete Hegself
I’m wondering what the attention be deviated from.
Economic troubles
this ped files
Israel next phase of killings in Palestine
Like wtf
It did. It became a joke. People started canceling people for things as trivial as clothes. That’s what they’d do. Just like Black Lives Matter. They get ahold of it and make a mockery of it.
Man of faith?
"I mean, I disagreed with him on almost every point I ever heard him say," she elaborated. "But I believe he was a man of faith, and I hope in that moment when he died that he felt connected to his faith. Even though I find what his ideas were abhorrent to me, I still believe he's a father and a husband and a man of faith, and I hope whatever 'connection to God' means, that he felt it."
Dwight's crazy with that
Agreed like everything and anything in this country this culture this system... things get twisted.
Its because we allowed a group to manipulate empathy and justice and comeuppance as whining, complaining too much empathy and playing victim.
Which was all part of a much larger plan that we ate all now seeing play out in real time.
Our inability to manage the smallest amount of empathy and understanding on both sides lead to this sh*t.
Once Roe v Wade was lost? We had a presidential candidate say he could kill someone and not get arrested? Mock special needs? Incite a treasonous riot? Feed mistrust of medical support during a pandemic and still get reelected?
Cancel was out. Fascism was in.
And people enthusiastically voted for it.
We casually watched it all evolve. I think cancel culture played a very very small part. And it was weaponized like America weaponized woke, education, science and every else it touches.
Here in Panama, it hasn't been mentioned at all. Not a single word.
That’s the thing about chaos. It only takes a small amount to cause a big effect. That’s the basic principle of meteorology and predictability. And it’s the same for humanity.
I agree, it was a very small part, but it had heavy consequences. We just didn’t think the other side would use it, too. Especially when they had the power.
The #metoo movement and cancel culture were significant online movements that had harsh consequence even if it was an accusation without evidence. The emergent behavior we are seeing from this current admin are the very employers and CEOs that were going along with the trends while being the conservative overseers.
Because most people in the world don’t give a fuck. That’s the thing about living in America and being online. People equate the two as some global attention that centers around them and their issues.
The moment I travelled outside the country, I had so much clarity in the bubble we live in here.
This is also how an ERP works. One small action can affect the whole thing.
ERP?
Enterprise Resource Planning. It's a software system, like Cetec, SAP, Accumatica, and Oracle.
You're not going to know you're in a black hole when you're in a black hole. If the American media is distorting the news, why would a Panamanian or Trinidadian media company owned by indians tell you anything?
If you're looking for the truth, you go to the enemy. The enemy is always aware of going-onz. I don't go to Hareetz for Jewish news. I go to Al Jazeera. Ironically, when I wanted to read about Texas’s mid-census shenanigans, it was those people who kept me informed.
This is why Al Jazeera was blocked in the States. They weren't doing slants, they just gave you the facts.
To understand chaos, you have to go to the folks from Kemet. As for white folks getting rid of off-white zionists, that's all in the game. Jews don't take betrayal personally because they have insurance for when tyrants get to being themselves.
Americans are to blame for American politicians. Human beings will always sacrifice others for material gains especially when it's paired with eternal happiness.
how many Americans travel? Americans don't read and they don't travel. In the book Invisible Man, the effeminate son of the tycoon told you how white people see black people. White people's ideas of us were formed from Huck and Birth of a Nation. Most white folks ideas of us are formed from crappy local news owned by Sinclair and other goofy rich people.
Welcome !
I remember when Robert tried to tell Baldwin about being black in America in a hotel.
Ok, got you.
I feel like Sam’s face should be covered in blood considering the angle.

ABC excluded from Trump’s UK press conference as British officials deny any link to recent clash with Australian journalist
Australia’s national broadcaster told by Downing Street that accreditation cancelled for ‘logistical reasons’ as other international outlets also denied entryAmanda Meade Media correspondent

The ABC has been excluded from attending Donald Trump’s press conference near London this week, days after a public clash between the broadcaster’s Americas editor, John Lyons, and the president in Washington DC over his business dealings.
Both Downing Street and the Foreign Press Association (FPA) in the UK, which liaises with overseas reporters and broadcasters, said Australia’s national broadcaster had not been targeted, but rather was moved to an overflow room along with other international outlets due to space constraints.
The Australian broadcaster said earlier on Thursday its London bureau was informed by Downing Street that its accreditation to attend the press conference had been withdrawn for “logistical reasons”.
Trump was due to have lunch with the British prime minister, Keir Starmer, at the latter’s country retreat of Chequers before Thursday’s joint press conference.
“The ABC’s London bureau is still accredited to attend Chequers, however, Downing Street media has said it no longer has a spot at the joint press conference due to logistical reasons,” an ABC spokesperson told the Guardian.
“We have been given no indication this is connected to the questions put to President Trump by ABC Americas editor John Lyons earlier this week.”
Downing Street initially declined to comment.
But UK officials subsequently said any suggestion that there was a link to questions previously put to Trump was “entirely untrue”.
Officials said a decision was made on Monday to move the press conference indoors with reduced capacity. Ten of 15 overseas journalists originally accredited, including the ABC, were moved to an adjacent room, sources said.
The call on which journalists were moved was made by Downing Street after liaising with the FPA. It was based on which organisations held so-called lobby passes for the UK parliament, the Guardian was told.

A government spokesperson said: “Media accreditation for the state visit press conference at Chequers has been limited by capacity, caused by inevitable high demand.”
A senior correspondent for Al Jazeera English, Rory Challands, said on X he was told by Downing Street he was being “taken off the Starmer/Trump press conference list for logistical reasons. The weather was mentioned”.
Lyons, who is reporting for Four Corners, drew the ire of the US president on Tuesday when he asked Trump how much wealthier he had become since returning to the Oval Office for his second term in January.
Trump accused the reporter of “hurting Australia” with the line of questioning.
“In my opinion, you are hurting Australia very much right now,” Trump said. “And they want to get along with me.
“You know, your leader is coming over to see me very soon. I’m going to tell him about you. You set a very bad tone. You can set a nicer tone.”
Trump subsequently told Lyons: “Quiet.”

'Hurting Australia': Trump threatens Australian ABC journalist John Lyons – video
Guardian Australia understands the ABC still has access to the White House.
The Trump administration used an official X account to label Lyons a “foreign fake news loser” alongside a Fox News clip from the Washington press conference.

Lyons has argued he was not asking “particularly hostile questions” when he queried whether it was appropriate for a US president to engage in so many business deals while in office.
He asked: “Is it appropriate, President Trump, that a president in office should be engaged in so much business activity?”
“Well, I’m really not,” Trump replied. “My kids are running the business. You know what the activity – where are you from?”
Australia’s politicians threw their support behind the Washington-based Lyons after Trump said he would tell the Australian prime minister, Anthony Albanese, about the exchange.
The Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young said Trump was trying to bully the media and Australia and demanded Albanese stand up to criticism of Australian journalists.
The ABC news director, Justin Stevens, said Lyons had the broadcaster’s full support.
“John Lyons is a highly awarded journalist and one of the most experienced and respected reporters in Australia,” Stevens said. “His job is to ask questions.”
Bingo.
