Not like a government. Unless you mean to make unpopular speech illegal.
What I am referring to is a group that makes people accountable for behavior that is legal by the definition of the law, but is otherwise considered anti-social and should be discouraged through shaming or loss of status.
- whatshisface 7y agoThat group already exists, it's called "everyone," and their past efforts all Twitter harassment.
- partisan 7y ago“Everyone” is too large of a group. And way too anonymous. The group would be one in which you value your membership and the opinion of others. In the past, it would have been a church, a social club, or in a small town, the town itself.
- wutbrodo 7y agoThe original comment starts with "At a small enough level". It seems tautological that "everyone" wouldn't meet this level.
