Who of us wants to live in a culture where you are held responsible and judged for everything...

It's sickening. Seems to be prevalent on social media too. Make an error in judgement or a bad decision and it is then applied to everything you do after. You are then judged for that and the positive and good things are overlooked. It's the continual mind set in society and it is waxing worse and worse as has been foretold.

No, I don't want to live in that kind of society but it appears we're being forced into it whether we like it or not.

We've definitely gone off the rails.

Political correctness gone crazy!

SW-User

No, it's already gone too far, weaponizing the past to destroy politicians in the present is becoming the new normal..
There have to be limits but it's already too late for that..
With social media and millions of opinions coming together instantly, it a group think explosion.. get on the wrong side of that momentum and you're screwed..

We’ve all made mistakes, exercised poor judgment at one time or another. That’s part of life, of learning and growing. I often say I’m glad I did most of my stupid stuff before the internet and camera phones, and I’m fairly smart about what I post on social media. I think the kind of scrutiny the media and those judging others from behind a screen put people through is ridiculous. Yes, some things are important and should be brought to life, especially about someone in a leadership role or in authority. However, I can’t stand the comments some people make about others, the judging, trying, and convicting that happens in the court of public opinion. People need to spend more time living their own lives and less time berating others’.

These humans love to scrutinize and judge others, put themselves above. It makes them feel so damn powerful and righteous. But what we gonna do about it

I’m not even the same person I was five years ago let alone when I was of college age. People do change. I see it all the time.

I think people who deliberately seek a public office should be held accountable to high public scrutiny.

Especially those whose positions afford them wealth; power; and influence.

No, I don't want to live in that kind of society. I think some media is more into gossip nowadays, than news. One thing that bothers me is American news media showing names and pictures of suspected criminals that haven't been charged. That is not legal in some other countries, that's slander. They don't care about destroying lives it seams.

I also think the police shouldn't be able to do surveyance on anyone just because they are Muslims or suspicious, it's looking more and more like Nazi Germany. And the past, that's not relevant now!

I think it has always been this way. Information is more available to everyone now.

What do you mean by "fall"?
They'll make less money because they miss out on some well-paid gigs?
They won't be held up as great role models?
That doesn't feel too unfair to me.
Where I would have sympathy is when people dig up tweets from someone when they were 16 or younger, an age when most of us write dumb stuff but if you were talking like an ass at 25 or 30, chances are you really are an ass.

Hasn't it always been this way?

No I wouldn't be okay with it and DO think it's crazy to be judging people for what they did many years ago in their past. 😟 No one knows where I've been or what I've done in this life time except God and that's the way I want it! The world is going crazy, 🌎️but I think a big shift is about to happen.

Who of us wants to live in a culture where you are held responsible and judged for everything that you have ever said or done as an adult?
