Gross.
Edit: Looking at the deffinition of Cancel Culture the article uses, itâs so fucking vague that it would easily encapsulate anyone who ever stopped using a product because of a moral objection. Thatâs basically all of us. Thatâs not cancel culture. Cancel Culture is when a group gets together try and ruin someone by calling for the end of their career and the ruining of their reputation in some fashion or another and attempting to rally support behind that cause. Itâs not âOh I donât agree with that, in going to stop using their product.â Itâs âWhat they said or think or did is so socially reprehensible in my opinion we need to rally as a unit to make sure their life is over in the name of justice!â Itâs basically âYouâll never work in this town again!!!â But at a national to world wide level.
Poll is super misleading imo.
I feel like there isnât much overlap between the groups that are currently showing up to protests and the people involved in gang violence
I also think the feds showing up is going to do the same thing it did in Portland. Itâs gonna charge the crowds up and increase conflict. They canât really go outside of protecting federal property so Iâm not sure what impact they could have on whatever people think is happening in Chicago.
The thing with cities that have high violent crime rates is that itâs not like itâs all across the city. It gets confined to very specific neighborhoods for the most part. So unless thereâs a federal building right next to the projects or whatever, thereâs no way for them to âhelpâ
Agreed, though when the numbers from those sectors of the city get reported the way they do, it makes residents think they have a chance of being affected even though most of it isnât going on where they live and this, theyâre more receptive to the idea of federal troops showing up to âhelp.â
Either way, the city government isnât doing a good job protecting their people, from criminal elements within the city or from overreach by the federal government, and thatâs their main job.
The definition they used was from dictionary.com and they followed that up with:
Cancel culture is generally discussed as being performed on social media in the form of group shaming.
which I think is a pretty succint definition of it. Do you not think a majority of 18-34 people have participated in something like that, definition aside?
Whatâs sad about the idea of bringing feds in- even if they could just occupy the city under military rule, is that thereâs no positive outcome in the way most people would think about it.
The conditions that cause the violence arenât going away.
Maybe if youâre an anarchist youâd welcome it. Quick way to get more people united against the government.

âŚyou see?
We should be taking these kinds of things as a sign to how shitty a lot our systems are.
They want to open them for Trump for sure, but on the next level there is some concern about not having every school set up to be able to make sure all the kids and teachers have laptops and the ability to hold online schooling in an effective way.
Then youâre gonna have parents who get forced into staying home who might not be able to afford it without that CARES money or some kind of extended unemployment.
And then if they did decide to take care of it for us and make sure everyone has what they need, then you gotta figure out how to pay for it.
Weâve painted ourselves into a corner in a lot of ways that would probably take decades of high political involvement to fix.
But weâll be stuck at level 1. Thatâs âtoo hardâ so weâll just open everything up. Fuck it.
I donât know, I dont have that kind of insight to make a deffinitive statement on it. I just didnât really agree with the dictionary.com definition.
I really donât know man, thatâs a wide age group and comprises a HUGE swath of people. My gut instinct is that most probably havenât because thatâs generally how it ends up actually being but I have 0 data to back it up. I know the majority of 18-34 years olds didnât take that pole. I feel pretty confident in that particular statement.
You guys stuck in the 60s or what?
Online learning isnât an option for every district because you have a lot of factors like home internet access or even availability of it to consider. The laptops thing is nice but then you have to consider that someone will need to show the kids (or more likely the parents) how to use it, bit even then, where does that money come from? This in an era where teachers are having to go out of pocket for their supplies.
Then you have to consider the parents who will have to stay home with their kids and not be able to work, this them losing income if they themselves canât work from home.
I hate to say it, but opening makes the most sense for a lot of places or just straight up saying âweâre postponing school until we get this figured outâ but the latter doesnât really fix the parents having to stay home with their kids.
My bossâs 3 year old navigates his iPad better then he does. Kids are pretty smart, they figure tech out easily. I think the internet issue is the bigger problem.
The majority of people donât take any poll, so if we use that reasoning, no poll is at all accurate. People are largely similar in a lot of ways which is why advertising algorithms are as accurate as they are and why polls can ask 100 people of a given range and get a fairly accurate answer.
18-34 people have grown up on the internet and with social media, so it wouldnât surprise me if they didnât take part in stuff like that, especially if they see their friends doing it. Itâs no different than kids bullying that one kid at school just because their more popular friends do.
Yea sure, but its still an assumption based on small groups of data. Youâre welcome to, but im not gonna make deffinitive statements based on such small sample sizes.
Thatâs basically what Iâm saying. I just wish there was an open dialogue and clear communication.
And itâs still super fucked up. Itâs the same thing with how the people working essential who tend to be at the lower end of pay get fucked. The public schools in poorer areas are gonna get fucked.
Weâve been doing polling for ages. People are not as individual as they think they are, theyâre largely monkey see monkey do which is why polling is fairly accurate when people are being honest. Itâs why you see red States and blue states rather than people of varyng political persuasions spread out all over. Why is it so hard to believe that people who fall within a certain age group thatâs basically grown up with idevices in their hands wouldnât subscribe to what is the dominant culture online?
Time to revert back to single income family by some means then.
Agreed. I wouldnât want my kid going back to school right now, but I donât see what the other options are at this point unless we drastically reallocate funds from somewhere.
A lot of people just arenât having kids. Weâre getting to a point like Japan where people are forced to make hard choices and are deciding that having a family isnât as important to them, and usually itâs people who would probably benefit the gene pool by having kids.
