I think that's how you create a conscience in them. shame works for making people avoid stuff.
No you don't create class conscience by spitting on those that know nothing. You do the opposite actually
I have tried asking strangers to spit on me once. that got expensive fast, and I don't think it got much consciousness raising done.
It is not.
well, I beg to differ. if you're nice they think you're weak. you can be logical and try to explain but you can't string multiple ideas together without triggering defensiveness.
I guess you can start a cult/clique but that feels way grosser and less morally okay than people spitting on and punching each other.
shame doesn't make people do things, but it does make them stop doing things.
It also makes them resent you and the point you're making.
it should, but it doesn't.
shame as a social tool to control public opinion is an incredible power that is hardly used in western societies.
in Japan public public shame is so powerful it will make people literally kill themselves.
only an idiot would think shame doesn't form public opinion.
I invite you to put that theory to the test at your earliest convenience. Let's see that shame in action.
