Canceled, but now you have been proven correct

It has happened too often – someone takes a stand against a media phenomenon or trend and receives a lot of criticism or even ridicule. However, when scientific or other proofs come to light, those same people are vindicated and can’t help but feel they were right all along. Of course, there are consequences to being canceled by the media, as many lives can be changed or even destroyed if the false doubts ship persists. The question arise to how we do we get back – Is anyone going to be held responsible? Are apologies even enough?

Is Anyone Going to be Held Responsible?

The answer to this question is not always clear. In many cases, the truth will slowly come out when more people are willing to speak up and share their thoughts. If the issue is more egregious, then legal action may be warranted, with apologies being requested or even public statements released condemning what was done. It is vital to call out the establishment when it makes mistakes and holds it accountable to the standards that it purports to uphold. On a larger scale, we must demand a shift in the way that we cover stories and highlight those that are too often pushed to the wayside. This will keep us honest and ensure that individuals or groups are not made to look foolish or swept under the rug without a chance to be heard.

Who is going to be held responsible for stores that closed an “bad / false” Science?  Entire live’s where flipped upside down.  Should individuals be able to go after those responsible or are they going to be able to stand behind the notion they where trying to do it for the “greater good”. and just happened to be completely wrong.  Children where forced to hide their faces and stay still for the most import parts of their developmental lives for something that was never true.  In essence it was the grownups in the room that where terrified of being effected and wanted to force what ever means necessary down to those under their control.

An entire election process was upended and changed and for some reason the majority went along with it.  No one seemed to question any of it at that point in fear of being canceled and having their live’s destroyed.  All for what?  A false narrative created to scare and manipulate the population?

Are Apologies Even Enough?

When it comes to being canceled by the media, apology can often feel like too little, too late. It is vital for those who wronged to take responsibility for what happened and to take substantive steps to ensure that it does not happen again. Simply saying sorry and backpacking on can often make things worse, as wrongs can be forgotten or further obscured. Instead, it is important to take tangible solutions and take responsibility for making things right. This way, we can ensure that the wrongs committed are not brushed away and actually lead to tangible changes. Additionally, if an apology is necessary, it is important to be aware of the distinction between a sincere apology and a hollow one. The latter can feel disingenuous and can backfire, worsening the situation and making reconciliation even harder.

How Do We Get Back?

Lives Where Changed or Even Destroyed.  When it comes to the issue of being canceled by the media or liberal cancel culture, the answer of how to get back can be a tall mountain to climb. Of course, the pursuit of justice must be at the forefront of all actions taken as it is only fair to do what is right. A step towards achieving this is to educate oneself on the issues that have been presented and make sure that you have a solid understanding of the situation.  It is important to make your voice heard and challenge wrongs before they are perpetuated once again. Another way to get back is to find allies who can stand with you and offer support when needed. There is strength in numbers and it never hurts to have a support system that can offer insight and guidance on how to approach the ways you were canceled.  Finally, it is important to also remember that it is ok to speak out, even if it feels like you are on your own. It may not always be easy to stand up and be heard, but it is often necessary in order to correct an injustice. Furthermore, one’s voice is a powerful tool for making a positive impact upon the world and it is vital to have a positive and confident attitude in the process.

The consequences of being canceled by the media can be truly dire. That is why it is important for us to take a stand against injustice and help each other when we can. Further, it is up to us to seek a legal and moral resolution to the issue and to stand steadfast in our support for those who have been wronged.

I pray this never happens again and stronger men stand before we bend a knee.
