Disagree, shaming someone for poor behavior is how a society operates.
- Red_Leaves_Flyy 4y agoOh right I forgot addiction and obesity are not at crisis levels in America. This might be how you and many people think society operates. Unfortunately that’s a dangerous delusion. This reductionist argument is dehumanizing and casts the issuer in an unearned air of superiority. Exhibit A. Trump is likely to be the most shamed person in existence and is to this date entirely unrepentant. The fact that shaming has appeared to work on some in his mafia cannot be intelligently construed as evidence for the effectiveness of shame as a tool to correct behavior without controlling for confounding factors which has not be done with any serious rigor on a societal level.
