What on earth are you talking about. 7 years ago a woman made a joke before she jumped on a flight and landed to see it make the world news.
Are you seriously suggesting that could happen before social media?
Perhaps you're quite young and don't realise quite how different the world has become over the past 10 years.
- Loughla 3y agoI'm not quite young, and I do understand that the world is different. I have lived most of these changes as an adult, and believe that the world is worse today than it has been, if for no other reason than a complete inability to escape connection to society for any reason thanks to technology. But. Yes, these things could happen before social media. Like most things, social media has absolutely amped up the effects, but this existed before. Hell, go all the way back to the Red Scare and the various black books that existed in the, what 1940's and 1950's? Say the wrong thing in the wrong place and you were immediately labeled a commie and shunned. That's what I'm saying. It has always existed. I just think it's a "bigger problem" for people now and there is more push back on cancel culture today than in the past because it's the previous mainstream that is being cancelled instead of an already at-risk community.
