It's interesting that you bring up the emperor's clothes, because shaming people for showing their body is not something that people make convincing arguments for. Observe how countries with advanced civil rights such as Germany have more nudist beaches.
Privacy is a human right, but I think it is a step too far once you ridicule people just because they don't value it as much as you do. There is nothing wrong with being "ridiculous". Who are you to judge who counts as a fool?
- orestarod 7y agoEveryone judges everyone, and to judge who is a fool is also something everyone does, a personal judgement that might be shared with the rest. "Who are you to judge" is the wrong phrase. "Who are you for your judgement to be taken into consideration by me" is the real meaning.
- kick 7y agoDo you not know the story The Emperor's New Clothes? It's a classic where I'm from. From the Wikipedia page: "The Emperor's New Clothes" (Danish: Kejserens nye klæder) is a short tale written by Danish author Hans Christian Andersen, about two weavers who promise an emperor a new suit of clothes that they say is invisible to those who are unfit for their positions, stupid, or incompetent – while in reality, they make no clothes at all, making everyone believe the clothes are invisible to them. When the emperor parades before his subjects in his new "clothes", no one dares to say that they do not see any suit of clothes on him for fear that they will be seen as stupid. Finally a child cries out, "But he isn't wearing anything at all!" The tale has been translated into over 100 languages.[1] The point isn't...whatever you're talking about, it's that the people do value it a lot, they're just shooting themselves in the foot.
