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?

It appears that our culture is changing to become a culture where anyone, especially anyone in public life, can and will be held responsible and judged, based on the continually changing cultural views, for everything that they have ever said or done as a teen or adult. In such a culture, no one will be able to withstand that judgement of their life, and everyone will eventually fail to pass the cultural scrutiny and fall. Question: Do you personally want to live in a culture like that? Why, or why not?

Additional Thoughts: When I wrote this question originally, I didn't want it to become so politically focused, but that is how most have answered it, possibly because I wrote "especially anyone in public life" in the original question. What about other areas of life? If your entire life were researched and scrutinized by a possible employer during the job application process, based upon the values of the current culture, would you be OK with that?

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 [i]that[/i] 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.

@Magenta I'm concerned also, that eventually no one will be able to stand.

@ms20182878 Yes. If we are placing others under a microscope and examining, [b]no-one[/b] could stand. Some need to make a stand/not cave or allow others to dictate their worth.. Not sure it will happen, as society loves to jump on bandwagons and most things become a trend. If it continues, it will be chaos.

@Magenta That's a definite possibility, from my perspective also.

@ms20182878 True, but sad. Many like to pretend they are experts on other's lives, yet can't even figure out their own.
