Cultural Appropriation

One of the best ways to divide us humans even further, by telling to ourselves that sharing cultures is a threat to a nation, even with the reality that all cultures must be welcoming what other cultures can offer for mutual growth.

If you believe a white man for example can not be inspired by cultures made by blacks/yellows/whatever just because his skin is white, you are a threat to the survival of culture itself, as assimilating good values of other cultures to improve yours and sharing your good values to those interested as well is vital to humanity's growth as a whole.
Jane, the Woke SJW: You can't wear a Salakot, you cis white man! That's cultural appropriation! You're endangering Filipino culture by wearing that!

Dylan, A Filipino born in the US: Yes! It is not appropriate! Salakot is for Filipinos only! *takes it from the white guy*

Sean, the white guy: WTF!

Teodoro, a Filipino from the Philippines: *grabs the salakot from Dylan and gives it back to Sean* What are you guys talking about? It's fine! Nothing's wrong with a white guy wearing our creations, as it promotes and shows the capability of Filipino weavers, idiot! Also, it's art, and art must be shared, bobo!

Dylan: *confused on what bobo means*

EXAMPLE:

relative to the newest (2023) reprint of ...The chocolate factory - characters are no longer "fat" or "idiots" after changes by the publisher to make Dahl's works more in tune with modern times. The “enormously fat” boy in the book became “enormous”. that's a form cancel culture
EXAMPLE 2:
idiot n1 : change a 1% or 10% won't change it really, right?
idiot n2 : Absolutely. There are no such things as disclaimers that can be used to inform the user about the diverse structure of what was considered acceptable by past standards, but now is not, and by that understand that what we are going to experience is not to take lightly outside this specific context.
idiot n3 : hey that statue has a penis. it could be dangerous for kids to watch! let's remove it!
EXAMPLE 3 :

Obese is the n-word for plus-sized people. (It's not, and that's not a sentence to use lightly)

Feed Culture

Today's internet-connected society provides a person with a constant feed of personalized entertainment, news, and information over multiple mediums and channels. There is no mainstream anymore. This is a fundamental shift in the way broadcasters, corporations, and non-profits communicate with their stake holders.

This is not a new idea or discovery, just a term that describes this shift.
We can longer expect anyone to watch our new 20-minute annual report video we make once a year, we need to make a constant stream of short video updates on YouTube to fit in with feed culture.

crack culture

A subculture of the more general drug culture, which houses some of the whackiest of characters. It is often said the your brain stops developing when you start using drugs, this is a fact of life for the run of the mill crack-head.
