WHAT IS CANCEL·LAT?
To achieve the outlined goals and within the mental framework shaped by personal context, Cancel·lat emerges as a bold movement, a philosophy, and a collective commitment. Cancel·lat doesn’t sell products or services; it sells a message and a way of perceiving the world.
Our proposal is simple but radical: to expose, challenge, cancel, and transform the power of the elites. We use the same tools they wield, redirecting them to “open people’s eyes,” foster social unity, and extract maximum resources and influence for meaningful change.
The Need for Cancel·lat
At Cancel·lat, we firmly believe that the current system, dominated by elites and their monopolies, has reached its breaking point. Social inequalities, environmental destruction, and the looming threat of human unsustainability are direct consequences of a model that prioritizes the profits of a few at the expense of collective well-being. It’s time to cancel this system from within.
The Message as a Tool
While our message is genuine, it also serves as a "pretext" to engage the public in a mainstream yet provocative manner. We expose the practices of elites while simultaneously turning this exposure into a source of resources and influence.
Through marketing, audiovisual creativity, music, and the power of token products (symbolic items representing the message), we amplify our narrative. This approach not only highlights injustices but also transforms the generated capital into real change.
Why “Cancel·lat”?
The name "Cancel·lat" (Cancelled in catalan) reflects the paradox we operate within. We “cancel” ourselves because we critique and challenge the system while simultaneously using its rules and dynamics to overturn them.
This contradiction is the core of Cancel·lat’s strategy: exploiting the capitalist system to create radical actions and narratives with the aim of extracting maximum resources and influence to fund the transformative initiatives in the project's second phase, Crea.
This exercise prompts a critical yet uncomfortable reflection: sometimes, to dismantle outdated structures and institutions, it may be necessary to employ stronger mechanisms. When entrenched systems resist change, dialogue, and the common good, the need arises to confront them directly to provoke meaningful transformation.
At times, this may involve intense emotional forces like anger or frustration—sentiments that, when channeled effectively, can become powerful drivers of change. Hatred, understood not as indiscriminate destruction but as a legitimate reaction to injustice and oppression, can act as a catalyst to challenge entrenched systems and liberate society from harmful, outdated practices.
This perspective does not advocate violence for its own sake but acknowledges that history repeatedly demonstrates how the deepest changes often require decisive confrontations. Social movements, cultural revolutions, and institutional reforms have frequently involved breaking away from the past through moments of intense conflict that pave the way for new ideas and forms of organization.
However, it is vital that this force be guided by constructive objectives. The goal isn’t simply to destroy but to build a more equitable, inclusive, and just alternative. When change stems from pure destructive hatred, it risks resulting in further oppression or chaos. However, when paired with a transformative vision, it can lead to significant advancements for humanity.
This is where the Crea phase of the project comes into play, detailed in its respective section. Ultimately, breaking away from outdated practices and obsolete institutions requires a balance between the force needed to dismantle them (Cancel·lat) and the empathy required to build a better future (Crea).
This complex process offers an opportunity to redefine the values governing society and establish new models that address the real needs of people and the planet in the era we live in. We aim to transform the culture of consumption and cancellation into tools for social and economic transformation.
Unite Society: A Message for the Common Good
This message, because it is so inclusive and centered on a common good, has the potential to inspire people from different social classes, political orientations, ethnicities, and sexual identities to find common ground.
The goal is to make visible that, despite superficial differences that may divide us, we all share the need to build a more just, sustainable, and equitable society where power isn’t concentrated in the hands of a few but distributed in a way that benefits the majority.
The simplicity and universality of the message are what make it so powerful in uniting such a diverse range of people. No one is immune to the effects of resource monopolies, environmental destruction, and systemic inequalities. For this reason, Cancel·lat is not just a movement for a specific group; it is a call to humanity to act together and fight for a common goal.
This approach also fosters dialogue between diverse perspectives, inviting people from all walks of life to share ideas, collaborate, and ultimately build a future that reflects collective interests. This movement transcends barriers by focusing not on what divides us but on what we can achieve together.
The Pillars of Cancel·lat
Awareness: We open society’s eyes to the power of elites and their negative impacts through bold, radical narratives, actions, audiovisual works, and social media.
Marketing-Anti-Marketing: We leverage capitalist strategies to create a need for our symbolic products (tokens) that act as emblems of the Cancel·lat movement. People don’t just buy, they actively participate in the change.
Resource Generation: Everything we produce (merchandising, magazines, audiovisual content, music, products, etc.) is reinvested into initiatives promoted by the second discipline of the project, Crea and other alternatives developed by others.
Cancel·lat Aspires To…
Be a Catalyst for Change: Promote a new way of thinking and acting that connects people with the transformative power of collective action.
Create an Inclusive, Transgressive, and Radical Movement: Inspire people to feel represented by Cancel·lat and join the change we want to see in the world.
Unite Society: Spread a message that resonates across social, political, racial, and cultural divides. The identified “enemy” is a tiny part of the population, making it easier to unite people from all walks of life.
Redefine Value: Show that value is not measured in money but in the positive impact generated for people and the planet.
The Time for Cancel·lat is Now
It’s time to break the cycle of power, consumption, and inequality perpetuated by elites. It’s time to cancel to build. Through radical actions, creativity, and collective commitment, Cancel·lat positions itself as an unstoppable force for a better future.
