Get the street culturemug. Take Culture: (noun) 1. A socio-economic mentality prevalent in some lower-income communities, characterized by the exploitation and appropriation of resources through manipulation, intimidation, and disregard for laws or social norms. This behaviour is often learned and perpetuated within families and social circles, creating a sense of normalized deviance. 2. A subculture driven by the cynical belief that societal systems are rigged against them, leading to a distrust of authority and a justification for prioritizing resource acquisition at the expense of others. This can manifest in acts like shoplifting, welfare fraud, and even violent crime. 3. A significant contributor to societal tension and distrust, particularly between lower-income and higher-income groups. The perception of "takers" exploiting "makers" fuels resentment and fuels social division.
Key characteristics:
- While not exclusive, "take culture" is often concentrated in communities with limited opportunities and resources, creating a cycle of deprivation and justifying harmful behaviour.
- Children raised in environments where "taking" is normalised are more likely to adopt these behaviours, perpetuating the cycle.
- Individuals within "take culture" often view welfare and legal frameworks as exploitative, further legitimising their actions in their own minds.
- Beyond direct acts of "taking," this mentality can erode social cohesion, hamper economic growth, and create a climate of fear and distrust.

Get the take culturemug. Ope! See that? See, it's not that the cancel culture is bad and wrong. It's not the top down ideological control by way of the media being used to destroy people lives for trivial things... It's the religious conservatives not being in control of everyones lifes. That's the problem with cancel culture. The REAL problem is that THEY should be doing the canceling.
Hym "But... Matt... You said that the tactics they use are fascistic... You spent years saying that the woke left are the REAL fascists... And now your solution is to... Do the thing that made them fascists? So... You ARE a fascist! A fascist theocrat with a God complex. Nutsworld. This cancel culture is the death of freedom and if you take one thing away from this I want it to be this: On a long enough timeline, what you're doing is going to necessitate violence. You might not even live to see it. But it'll be whoever you indoctrinated to believe what you believe before you die (probably you kids) and the are going to be slaughtered and they are going to deserve it. And I'm going to laugh. It's going to be hilarious to me! Because I will have been right... Again! And being right is my favorite! Ahahahahahahahaha! Even if I'm dead. You'll KNOW that I WOULD HAVE laughed. And that's just as good. It makes my laughter eternal. HAHAHAHAHAAAA!!"
