A brain fart on the "Cancel Culture":
Just engaging with the so-called "cancel culture" at this point is playing into the hands of reactionaries and oligarchs. You wanna talk about mob mentality or social media's influence on our behaviours through minutely curated algorithms that run on clicks and engagement, [...]
that incentivizes the use of manipulation and social engineering in order to make us react strongly. These things are problems, but none of them are "cancel culture", it's not about individuals like the neoliberals may want you to think, [...]
it's about a system of violence and competition that alienates us, breaks our bonds of trust and solidarity and divides us by pitting each other against one another out of fear and survival while those in power reap all the benefits.
