CANCEL CULTURE, EVIL CANCER

 

Remember when our country called for CANCEL KOREA, when Koreans reltaliated racist remarks against an innocent and also ignorant post by Bella Poarch, about her tattoo that has Japanese Imperial Flag. I mean what they’ve done, was not right. But is it that easy to call for cancellation today? Yet if it is, why Probinsyano is still on air?

This will be short. The sum of what I will I rant is these: Not all bad deeds, are forgivable, neither is condemnable. I mean if a person’s deeds crosses the line of being heinous, like of rape, murder, it is right to cancel them. But if it is of little things that are maybe bad, but can be forgiven, is it too petty to cancel a person for that? And can a person not change? Remember that the only constant thing in this world is change. Someone may be an asshole today, but a goodman tomorrow, or in reverse. Cancelling one person pushes him to be an asshole forever, because there is no room for forgiveness.

Another thing is, cancelling a person for what he did in the past. I can understand if it’s maybe a year, months, but decades, that the person doesn’t even remember, and you will apply the rules of now, that’s not acceptable for me. Again depending on the degree of the deed, we should not cancel so easily.

Cancelling has its present repercussions, that can cause damages not only to the person directly involved. But to others, that had nothing to with it. Look at Jisoo’s case, the male actor, not the BLACKPINK member. He was accussed of bullying, and admitted it. Everyone calls for cancellation, and the drama was derailed, had to reshoot and recast for the slot, that Jisoo vacated. I mean, I am not supporting bullying, in anyway. The allegations that he admitted of doing was not light. But why now? Why not then? And why the school, has allowed this to happen to the schoolmates? If you think you have done justice, you’re wrong. The accusers and the cancel people, you have affected other people that has nothing to do, with what he did to you. It is not justice, but revenge, and counter bullying.

Another case, is Donald Trump. The former President, of the United States. Everyone is cancelling him, except the Republican Party. They are not giving him plaform to speak. Twitter, Facebook, every  social media platforms. Their are this article that a video was taken down, by a social networking site, where Donald Trump is speaking about something.

I mean,  I’m scared of this. I am not an American, but If I am , I am a Democrat. I would have voted for Joe Biden, and not Trump. But they are too much, at Trump now. He is defeated already! You are not thinking beyond this. Let me remind you, he could still run, he is not disqualified from public office, because the impeachment failed to get the majority to convict him. And if he somewhat wins. There will be a hell of a payback. Oh its true, its damn true. Kurt Angle reference. He will cancel those who cancel him.

I mean even Sun Tzu, disagree with what they are doing to him. In Art of War Chapter 7 Maneuvering  No.36

36. When you surround an army, leave an outlet free. Do not press a desperate foe too hard.

Why?  Because this is what will happen. In Chapter 11 The Nine Situations No. 23-24

23. Throw your soldiers into positions whence there is no escape, and they will prefer death to flight.  If they will face death, there is nothing they may not achieve. Officers and men alike will put forth their uttermost strength.

24. Soldiers when in desperate straits lose the sense of fear. If there is no place of refuge, they will stand firm. If they are in hostile country, they will show a stubborn front. If there is no help for it, they will fight hard.

They are pressing him too hard, without a way out. Now whats he gonna do? He will run again, and take vengeance. That is why I am fearing for America.

As love begots love, cancellation may also begot cancellation. Not all bad deeds, are condemnable, some of them are forgivable, Let us not be too easy in shouting and advocating cancellation. And if you think, its only for famous people, all of us are affected of this. Let us think first if it can be forgiven, if it is, forgive. Because not forgiving is pushing persons to a corner, and they might take the only path that is available. Its either suicide, or to double down. Both are not good. So let’s cancel, cancel culture, because it is an evil cancer.
