" Cancel Culture " ~ by Hénock Gugsa
" Cancel Culture "
~ by Hénock Gugsa ~
Not such a bad thing ... lets you unfollow/unfriend/unsubscribe to people or things that bug you.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FC ===> cancel culture leads to ignorance.
HG ===> FC -- and so we come back to the concept of "perspectives", right ?
PC ===> HG -- depends on who’s perspective you like at the time. Galileo’s perspective got him into trouble with authority because of “Cancel Culture”. Don’t let that type of idiocy rule your mind.
HG ===> I won't necessarily be starved for knowledge or wisdom if I'm deprived of outright lies, and misdirection. I should be able to make my own judgment and not be led by the nose all the time. Oh and the term "cancel culture" is a deceptive cover that some use to gaslight and muddy the water. We actually have come to a point where we label anything as "cancel culture" when we cannot accept it because it really is wrong ... like murder, like insurrection, like tyranny. So, if I'm accused of practicing "cancel culture" because I don't accept those things, so be it ! Let me be an ignorant idiot !
HG ===> ... Oh, and I try to go by my own perspective as much as possible without forcing it on others !
JS ===> FC -- true, but so relaxing.
PC ===> HG -- as long as you know I respect your perspective, as I hope you respect mine.... this leads us to be able to have constructive debate, (which I love BTW).
PC ===>
FC ===> Nothing should be cancelled, even what we don't like. Because cancelling something cultural involves ignorance, most of the time. Here we are between open minded and fairly educated people. But we have to be careful what we promote, because it will be blindly followed by masses of ignorants [sic] only interested in promoting what they have been indoctrinated by.
