Mob mentality, hatred, cancel culture, online bullies and the insatiable desire to watch someone fail or make a mistake — in social media — is the topic I tackle today. Clearly, this trend is overwhelmingly negative and unhealthy, but I also cover which aspects, if any, may lead to positive changes in society.
You’ll find out:
- Why it’s so easy to assume things are facts because of your sources (without doing additional research)
- Who matters to me
- How this generation experiences fame vs prior generations
- Examples of influencers who committed suicide due to hate from the mob
- Why suicide is never about one thing
- Why so many people — young adults, especially — are filled with fear for saying or doing the wrong thing and be destroyed (even if they have no fame)
- What to do if you’re worried about people coming for you
- What happens every time I open up YouTube these days
- What I’m really worried about
- Why it seems people are afraid to have their own opinion
- Why, I think, this trend is really happening and how it has to do with our biology
- How the pandemic has exacerbated this whole trend
- What my silence really means (for example, not speaking out on a popular / heated news trend)
- When, last year, I was really confused in my thinking
- Why I’m worried about where we’re headed
- What my friend, Dr. Mcayla and her community of psychologists and psychiatrists, have noticed about this trend / movement
- My thoughts on where to go from here (and my personal vow)
- Why I give you permission to say nothing
