I make a passionate case for evolving beyond harmful practices disguised as 'culture,' especially when it comes to environmental accountability and the shift away from fossil fuels. I appreciate the emphasis on responsibility and sustainability-it's a timely reminder that progress often requires challenging outdated systems without demonizing people. That said, I recognize that framing everything through a 'cancel vs. evolve' lens can sometimes oversimplify complex social dynamics, where traditions aren't always just excuses for exploitation. Overall, I find it thought-provoking and well-structured, even if a bit polemical.
Doing the right thing isn’t about canceling culture. Fossil fuels and their schematics must disappear, because our objective is clear: a green transition to net-zero carbon.
Culture of Responsibility. Shifting Culture, Shaping Futures. From Cancel to Climate Culture.
The toxic or corrupt culture that’s still allowed to survive because people defend it as “heritage” or “our way of life.” When they say “stop canceling our culture”, what they often mean is: don’t take away our privileges, our outdated systems, our polluting industries, our excuses.
-
Culture as Cover: The corrupt use “culture” as a shield, pretending attacks on their harmful practices are attacks on identity or tradition.
-
Survival Mechanism: Outdated elites and industries plead that change is “cancellation,” when really it’s accountability.
-
Green Lens: True culture evolves — fossil fuels and corruption aren’t timeless traditions, they’re schematics of exploitation that must dissolve for a sustainable future.
Ending the corrupt culture that hides behind tradition while blocking the green transition to net-zero carbon is the solution.
Some openly admit “we are monsters, but it’s our culture.”
-
Industrial Pollution: “Yes, we keep pumping smoke into the air, but it’s how our factories have always run — it’s our culture.”
-
Corporate Exploitation: “We pay minimal wages and cut corners — that’s just the way business has been done here, it’s our corporate culture.”
-
Social Intolerance: “We discriminate or bully outsiders — it’s part of our traditions, our culture, don’t interfere.”
It’s defensive victimhood. They don’t want patronizing lectures; they want to preserve outdated systems by wrapping them in the word culture.
I keep reminding myself that meaningful change isn't about blaming individuals-it's about collectively questioning what no longer serves us, learning, and moving toward a more responsible, sustainable future.
