How "Cancel Culture" Has Impacted Owner
It’s something I’ve heard over and over, but I’m going to take a moment to explain my thoughts on it and why I feel that way. I’m not going to go into detail about it, other than to say that the culture and environment that we live in has a huge impact on us as individuals. This includes our own personal attitudes, beliefs, and behavior.
A culture of free thought, a culture of questioning, and a culture of questioning everything. You know, stuff like that.
The culture and environment that we live in has a huge impact on our behavior and attitudes towards the world around us. Most of us have this mentality of “everything is permitted” and “I can do whatever I want.” These are attitudes that are very much encouraged and reinforced in our society. Because we have this attitude, we tend to take it for granted and we don’t question it. When we do question it, we tend to become defensive.
The more I think about it, the more I think that this is the case.
We have this very easy, comfortable, easy mindset. However, that mindset is changing. Now we are questioning everything. Now we are questioning how things are done, questioning how we are treated, questioning how we are treated by others in society. This is all happening because of the fact that people are questioning everything, and we are questioning everything.
We're questioning the very things that make our society work.
The fact is that most people who live in today's society don't get outside of their heads. They don't think about what other people do or say. They just get on the Internet and start spamming the hell out of it. I mean, there are people who are very smart, and then there are people who are just a jackass. And that's the same thing in every society.
The point is that we are constantly bombarded with information that we are unable to absorb.
It's like we go through life without even being aware of the fact that we need to take time to think about what we eat, how we live, and how we act. We are always on constant high-bandwidth communication, constantly going through each other, constantly being bombarded with ads, constantly getting our news from the Internet.
I've been on the receiving end of this, even when I was a teen.
I used to call my mother a bitch everytime she would come over. I'd always think that she was talking to me. I wanted to go down and talk to her about it, but I just couldn't. She was always too busy. So I just kept quiet. So here's the thing: My parents are very active in my life. They send me money, let me buy things, etc. Yet, even though I can read and write, I can't think straight. My thought process is completely off when it comes to social media. I think about all the things my mom wants me to do, but I can't. My parents never said that they "canceled" my social media accounts, but they stopped responding to me on it.
Yes. You can read that all you want about “Cancel Culture”, but it’s really just one part of a much larger problem. We know that the vast majority of people don’t like being inundated with messages that they don’t want to hear. But that’s not really the whole story, because there are plenty of other small, but important, social media policies that have their own ways of silencing voices.
One of the first things that this policy did was to make it much harder for people to talk about politics, religion, and other controversial topics. When I was younger, I used to think that I was being censored when I was told that I couldnt say anything about my favorite band. I even remember trying to explain why I couldn't have a video of me and my friends playing music with my band because I thought I was being censored. I still remember how difficult that was for me.
Now that I’m older and out of the loop, I still feel the way I did when I first became aware that I couldn’t talk about music without being censored. And I still feel that way now. It’s not just because I’m old-fashioned or because I’m stuck in a time loop. I feel like there are still certain things that I can’t say.
