That is called ruminations...Of course, we are bombarded with information good and bad, our minds keep ticking when we go to sleep..Yeah she got it..
The antidote to that outrage cycle, Professor Ross believes, is “calling in.” Calling in is like calling out, but done privately and with respect. “It’s a call out done with love,” she said. That may mean simply sending someone a private message, or even ringing them on the telephone (!) to discuss the matter, or simply taking a breath before commenting, screen-shotting or demanding one “do better” without explaining how.
I think the internet and social media has encouraged this constant cycle of outrage.
It is beginning to feel like “social justice Warriors” are incapable of seeing the individuals behind the labels in much the Same way as those they criticize.
Embarrassing yourself some more moon?
Boycotting a company is nothing like the “cancel culture” that attacks individuals.None of y'all have a problem with it when right winger do it, huh?

I’m confused. It sounds like you’re challenging what you endorse.Call-out culture...Cancel-culture, seeing who can out social justice the other...it’s become a culture gone crazy with perpetual outrage alongside it’s opposite, the “just because I can, I will” culture bent on outraging.
I like what this woman has to say....
It is really past time to step down.
What if Instead of Calling People Out, We Called Them In? (Published 2020)

I am challenging the call-out culture,” Professor Ross said from her home in Atlanta, where she was lecturing on Zoom to students on a recent evening, in a blue muumuu from Ghana. “I think you can understand how calling out is toxic. It really does alienate people, and makes them fearful of speaking up.”
She doesn’t believe people should be publicly shamed for accidentally misgendering a classmate, which she once did, leading to a Title IX complaint that was later dismissed; for sending a stupid tweet they now regret; or for, say, admitting they once liked a piece of pop culture now viewed in a different light, such as “The Cosby Show.”
“If it were on TV right now, I’d watch the reruns,” she said.
“What I’m really impatient with is calling people out for something they said when they were a teenager when they’re now 55. I mean, we all at some point did some unbelievably stupid stuff as teenagers, right?”
Professor Ross thinks call-out culture has taken conversations that could have once been learning opportunities and turned them into mud wrestling on message boards, YouTube comments, Twitter and at colleges like Smith, where proving one’s commitment to social justice has become something of a varsity sport.
I think this is also related to something I just discovered called doom scrolling,” Professor Ross told the students. “I think we actually sabotage our own happiness with this unrestrained anger. And I have to honestly ask: Why are you making choices to make the world crueler than it needs to be and calling that being ‘woke’?”
