Let’s be real: It’s anti-white (and primarily, anti-woman) bigotry

The culture of recording strangers in bad moments and posting them on social media is gross

Something tells me this video of a dude talking about birds isn’t going to go viral like the one of that bitch being racist and trying to kill her dog.
What does being a nerd have to do with anything. How does this video of a seemingly harmless guy talking about how excited he gets about bird watching shed light on your argument that he must have in some way escalated this.
He saw that entitlement coursing through her veins and got out his camera. I’m glad he did.

I just find it hilarious that it turned out both of them have the same last name (Cooper).

Yep. Cant even yell racial slurs at starbucks employees without it going viral and losing my job. SMH what is the world coming to these days.
Its like the concept of heated gamer moments mean nothing to people anymore.

I think you missed the point of the post
Oh come the fuck on. It’s mob justice and the seemingly innate nature of people getting off on outrage. People getting their panties in a bunch about bigotry for calling Karen ass Karens what they are due to their behavior are beyond retarded. That doesn’t mean their lives should be ruined, but this lady epitomizes Karen

i agree it is invasive and fascist
the culture of shaming people in public is in general a hateful and antisocial culture
really sucks that it is openly celebrated. if only people could demonstrate how good they are by highlighting their own goodness, rather than another's badness.

I hope you keep that same standard for black people

While I 100% agree the latest woman was being a massive shitheel, it’s shocking how quickly people lose their jobs and lives over these “in public” moments.

I didn’t at all. I gave what I consider to be the real reason for these things going viral, which isn’t anti-white or anti-woman bigotry, but that doesn’t mean I like it or think it should continue. We aren’t who we are in our worst moments, and don’t deserve to have that shit posted to the world for eternity. But the reason people are pissed at this lady is because she was acting like a dumb cunt (aka “Karen”) not because she was a white woman

If you want to get out into the weeds with extremely low probabilities, she is more likely to be killed or raped by a black man than a white man on a per capita interaction basis as well.
If you want to argue that it is threatening his life to call the cops, it is also threatening her life not to. To paraphrase you, the probability of him harming her is low, but it isn't zero.

The argument that calling the police on a person who scared you or whatever is akin to commit deadly violence against them is stupid.
This woman didn't try to kill this guy. Stop with this hyperbolic nonsense

Another one surfaced today about a guy calling the cops on people who entered a private gym. It never ends.

I agree so much. I hate the camera era we're in. Wish I existed in the old days, where you could be yourself without worrying about the world.

i feel 0 sympathy for people that degrade/assault a bunch of teenage kids doing minimum wage jobs, get video taped in the process, and have to deal with the repercussions of it afterwards
there's a huge difference between having a bad day and being an abusive piece of shit

I think that there should be surveillance everywhere where there is no expectation of privacy at all times in order to deter criminal activity and immoral behavior as well as to create a record of these phenomena whenever they do occur.

The other day I watched an episode of The Orville titled "Majority Rule" that basically showed the end result of this sort of behavior. I mean, yeah, it's played up and exaggerated but with how our society is currently willing to judge people and situations with as little context as possible, I wouldn't be surprised if we found ourselves adopting social media as a part of our democracy, giving the powers of judge, jury, and executioner to everyone connected to the internet.

it's Orwellian and anti-social
it essentially promotes alienation & backstabbing

It's anti-social, but so are the people being captured on camera. Treating others like dirt fuels animosity and tears the social contract apart. Because of technology, we can effectively force people to look at themselves in the mirror.
That said, "capture culture" is a slippery slope, and unfortunately I don't trust people to NOT take it too far. Part of me enjoys seeing the assholes and bitches of the world reaping what they've sown, but another part of me disagrees with the idea that people should be ostracized from society or fired from their job over the kinds of squabbles that happen all the time.

This is indeed the same behaviour as in DDR, where the Socialist party encouraged people to report "dissident" behaviour. Did your neighbor say something negative about the Socialist Party? Well if you tell us we will reward you and arrest him.
Same basic principle but with social media and virtue points. Troubling indeed, but not surprising at all considering the way the world has evolved the last decades.

Hate capture culture!
I equate it to zoo tourism, where people are so closed off to nature/live in their bubble that when they see something shocking or unique they must take a pic of it or point and laugh etc
Its terrible because this capture culture is training the masses to not act out/or be loud in public/make a scene etc. its acting as an unofficial big brother enviornment. Where youre constantly on the verge of being on camera and getting pasted to the internet.

In the next sentence the YOU is also me).
This is the way you all want the things to go, I can bet all of you have a camera on the phone, have multiple social media accounts and poste on it more than once a day, most of you are more attached to your phone/Pc/console than your parents or your surroundings.
Most of the ppl I know are scared of real life, everyone loves to watch it but noone want to face it, this attituted makes ppl look at "bad moments" like someone look at the animal of the zoo.
I'm so sick and tired to not be able to be angred or pissed in public cause in seconds it will be on the internet.
We speack about freedom, we criticise other country cause they lack of freedom, but in reality we are not free to do anything anymore, I can't fucking get drunk anymore unless I'm alone at home cause someone will capture it, post it and shame me, the world we live is pathetic and I'm sad that Covid didn't manage to reset our priorities.

In 2019 NYPD officers fired a weapon in an adversarial situation 22 times. Given 67% of the 270 murders where race was recorded were by black people (57% of victims were black), one has more to be afraid of in the presence of a black person than of a cop. You disingenuous cunt.

With some people I honestly wonder how they manage to walk and breathe at the same time. You are one such special individual.
I'm gonna call bs on that one, do you have the stats to back that up? I feel like I've seen more US Police being trigger happy situations than I have over people getting "cancelled".
Edit: Infact, let's double down on this, most innocent black people killed by cops tend to get their name dragged through social media anyway from people trying to "prove they deserved it".

This is very popular in europe when refugees collide with the police.
Sometimes when a refugee did something illegal and was about to be checked by a police officer they started resisting and screaming, even attacking the police officer. When the officer restrained the refugee then there was always someone filming, but they later never uploaded the refugees attacks, but only the “police violence” to the internet.
This went as far as policeofficers refraining to restrain them unless absolutely necessary, because they are scared to loose their jobs.
I hate that people act this way and film only the parts that fit their political agenda even though they see and know that what they do is unjust.
Human scum.
