Traveling people in the network often begins without reliable evidence of human guilt, which becomes a victim of cancellation culture. About the principle of how “canceled” stars, Lente.ru told Peter Kurtie, director of the program “Culture, prosperity and civil society” in the Australian Center for Independent Studies and Associate Professor of Jurfak University of Notre Dame in Australia.
According to him, the participants of online trace can often be not familiar at all personally with “canceled” and little know about the case that led to the scandal. “They do not study the evidence themselves, they simply join the crowd and pounce on a person together,” he told.
Kurti noted that the phenomenon of cultural culture was particularly strongly struck in the Anglo-Saxon countries, he is closely intertwined with the charges of these states in their colonial and imperialist past, as well as involvement in slavery.
According to him, people using the cancel culture seek to break with a painful past, but it is little focused on what can be done in the fight with the same slavery in the present. “I think that the cancel culture is too looked at the past and to break with him, and not to look into the future and understand what society we need to build,” he said.
Culture Cancellation is a modern form of criticism and punishment of a person or community by depriving support and condemnation both online and in the real world. The reason can be both a controversial or non-procurement statement out loud and the post on the Internet. Often this leads to loss of work, deprivation of previously obtained awards and destruction of the reputation of a person.
The reasons for the traffacent of people whose views contradict the new morality were one of the central themes of the project “Renta.ru” called “The Problems of the First World”. Materials are combined with the theme of the crisis of liberal values in the Western world and split in society. They are talking about how the ideas of freedom and universal equality turn into a tool of oppression, and the struggle for the rights of some groups of people turns into the placelessness of others.
