cultural heimlich

- when a person’s general taste is bad to the point where it requires sustained shaming and social intervention to improve.

- a campaign of necessary refinement, aimed at the abandonment of flavorless beers, Billboard music, poorly written movies, touristy travel, sweet wine, toddler palates, and more.
“Man, Jason was slamming shots of Fireball last night, listening to Kenny Chesney and defending Michael Bay movies. Then today I learned he only eats meat and pasta! We need somebody to step up and perform a cultural Heimlich immediately!”

“She’s literally going to die of poor taste in her 40s, if we can’t get her a cultural heimlich soon”

Rant culture

Is a community of people who complains, judges, accusing, finding faults on people, companies, media, etc., in which it is now their everyday routine, instead of making a difference or fixing it. This often has bias which often leads to toxicity, conflicts, drama, and discrimination.

take culture

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.
"The rise of 'take culture' in the neighbourhood meant shoplifting and petty theft became almost routine, leaving shopkeepers feeling helpless and the community on edge."

"Growing up in a gang-infested area, Miguel saw 'take culture' everywhere: bullying, graffiti, and theft viewed as normal ways to get ahead. Breaking free from that mindset was his biggest challenge."
