Few little pointers to contemporary social cancel cultures.
Social norms, further values, are changing, some Christians many Nomadic not belonging to fellowships or colonized from faith homes, believe new ways, are for the better. But for those whose behavior doesn’t adapt fast enough to the new Codex, judgment will be swift—very merciless.
This hostility is concerning, although l jest about there menace, its is a worry.Worry that some Followers of Jesus signed up and see no kingdom values being represented.
Presently l know some ,odd few,it is possible you can meet them, Hostile crowd —just accused but violated no laws, no workplace rules either.Guess what ,they have broken. ( been accused of having broken) social codes, Platform values,Student codecs, possibly relating race, sex, personal behavior, or even acceptable humor, Such rules,values would not have existed five years ago, even five months ago. Some have made egregious errors of judgment. Some have done nothing at all. It is not always easy to tell.
“My work stopped. because of way l feel, not written since."
"l had a catastrophic loss of income."
Another -Suspended from a teaching job.
There has been ,isolation ,plus public shaming, loss of income
these are severe sanctions, imposed from hidden place,@me2, is one such platform.
Some of those l have chatted with are very young,but some are my age, early 6 decade.
they feel downtrodden that this is their moment,they are part of a balancing culture,Odd they also show no concern for the `new victims`.
There is no dialogue,no discussion,no debate.
We followers of Jesus are dependent on debate,disagreement and allowing excluded to be present and invited.
We follow a God who forgives..
Prophet called Jesus who often engaged with those on outside...but also engaged with those on inside..Pharisee...Zealots...rulers,..Governess.
We want to get rid of difficult people, different ,demanding people, yes seen target old people,rich people but also white working class,privileged white people, some would suggest those eccentric people . New Church and this new religion does not want these impurities.
Already they are being driven away from the creative professions where they used to thrive.
`Jordan Peterson` is one very evident example..l am very afraid that Society becomes a , duller, less interesting place.But more concerned for those followers of Jesus who do not understand fruits of the spirit identified with Grace, Compassion,Forgiveness.
For many for first time they want to be part of something...The Church and following a discipline that is a life journey no longer holds any interest.
They got spun a lie. and now dine out with wrong crowd.
