To End Extreme Poverty, Give Cash — Not Advice | Rory Stewart | TED
Are traditional philanthropy efforts actually taking money from the poor? Former UK Member of Parliament Rory Stewart breaks down why many global development projects waste money on programs that don’t work.

3:30 false equivalence and sorry to tell you that every race/culture/person experiences this depending on your locale etc. And who in power is getting cancelled?
Dove? No, even with their black to white get clean ad, they are fine. The people getting targeted are those that do not go along with the status quo, regardless of colour.
People with pronouns can dog pile on those that don’t want to use them or don’t like them. In Canada, if you identify as anything but CIS in school, you can bully anyone that is CIS and there are no consequences.
The whole thing is BS cultural appropriation is bad but you want diversity and inclusion. Listen to the music but don’t sing along or dance. Buy the music but don’t get influenced. And oddly, only appropriation when certain colours do it.

So not only do you want people’s reputations destroyed you want more punishment on top of that? Cancel culture is fascistic. It’s a tactic used to silence people you disagree with. It needs to go away just like this speaker does. If you can’t see that cancel culture is evil at this point then there’s probably no hope for you.

Cancel culture is stupid. Anonymous people (who would likely never hold up to their own scrutiny) tearing down public figures they never met by making snap decisions about them and simply piling on in a blind mob of ignorance.

“Cancel culture” is the modern version of the Salem witch trials, or trial by mob rule.
This talk is about descrimination, and I don’t agree with equating or linking it with cancel culture.

I think she either doesn’t know what cancel culture is and the destruction it brings, or she is intentionally misleading in order to muddy the conversation.

Wow TED, you’re deleting my comments? Canceling Harvard students for their abhorrent opinions is merely application of their side’s rules back onto them.

To be fair, I *think* it may have been YouTube having technical difficulties. I can’t say for sure, of course. But, I had a comment that didn’t appear at first (and I remember there being an error message when I tried editing and reposting it). When I went back and reposted it, it was there. You may want to try again, if you haven’t already. 🙂

“As a black woman, I know what it means to have cancellation baked in.” – woman on stage lecturing people
People who are proponents of cancel culture are some of the most vindictive people you’ll ever meet. They have no intention of inviting the people they cancel back into any conversation.
oh by the way, the soviets and the Chinese already did the whole ‘cancel counsel’ thing.

My experince is the exact opposite IF IF IF you are using an equal measure rather than a racist double standard when you use the term “racist”.
Which defintion are you using?
People who have been TAUGHT (& it is always taught imo) to use racist double standards do tend to like cancel culture based on double standards, because there arguments dont tend to stand up if they have to make their case as equals.
Platypus Paws
October 23, 2023 at 11:46 am
Likewise, are yiu1 really saying that it is right for me to suppress anything you say, just because i could be more powerful than you, and i invent an accusation?
That is the situation – both an abuse of power & double standards toward political advesaries – that the term cancel culture refers to.

Also, note historically that cancel culture was never seen as a good thing in hindsight, and an essential tool for dictatorships & authoritarian govts and corporations.

Cancel culture doesn’t really exist. Not in the way Conservatives think it does. It exists as an expression of capitalism or Conservative hatred. For example for the former Roseanne was canceled by DISNEY, an evil corporate entity, not the woke mob. For the latter Martin Luther King jr. was canceled by a conservative or if you’re into conspiracies, a conservative government.
Thomas Bryant

This is a great explanation, and perspective. Unfortunately, it won’t stop those “Cancellers” from enjoying the simple act of cancelling someone. These particular people thrive on negativity, hate, and causing fear. They are also the demographic that find it all wildly entertaining, especially when it causes pain and suffer for others. Perhaps the cancellers should be canceled…LOL Now thats a paradox.

So introspection is the cure for both sides of this issue, cancelers and cancelees? That’s a reach. The wealthy elite, who have created the second gilded age we are in, know what they are doing, they just don’t care. Those trying to cancel them are so other-focused that they are unlikely to look within and see that they are creating injustice with their own actions. What a nothing-burger of a recommendation

3:30 the comparison doesn’t apply. Cancel culture is coming from activists dominating media, trying to police everyone who doesn’t agree them with concepts like gender pronouns, CRT and anything that goes against ESG views of powerful corporations.

Cancel culture is literal Nazism and the funny thing is, those are the people calling others Nazis for not agreeing with their opinion. Then add insult to injury, they are right now showing their support to a entity that has stated all Jews must be exterminated.
The left is literally their own enemy.

Watching this is like listening to Alanis Morrissett’s “Ironic” and knowing what she describes is not irony. The presenter is pretending cancel culture is the same as discrimination and that it’s ok because the people being cancelled didn’t experience discrimination and that the whole thing is “equitable discrimination”. This is just someone trying to justify why even comedians refuse to come to campuses anymore. The whole thing boils down to the old adage that what the further left you go the more it is really about is hating the wealthy than helping the poor.

Thank you, firstly, for a clearer understanding of what cancel culture means.
I support these endeavours 100% but I am afraid that knee jerk reactions are common throughout our shared history and the web has given this kind of short sited and hasty opinion so much oxygen, I cannot see a way to rein in those who shout first and think later.
The power of tabloid journalism drove me to shield myself from mainstream media as much as possible long before the realisation that social media could generate hate far faster than TV, Radio and Newspapers. Once we could put a finger on the divisive haters because their channels were limited, now they can hide behind layer after layer of synthetic credibility.
This gofer is staying in his hole.
