Shame shaming, (zaibatsu), 10/10/2019 ------------------------------------------------------------ I picked up my two teenagers from an early morning class, and on the <2min car ride home, my son was complaining about the heater/air not blowing hard enough. At breakfast I teased him about it, and my daughter said something about "shaming"... and I thought, I'm being shame-shamed! That is to say, I was being shamed for shaming someone else. It's all so darned silly. We had a good laugh over it, and then someone switched the subject to "first world problems" with the a/c not being just exactly right for two minutes of our lives. Still, I think the shaming culture is out of control. People make a moral judgement about the wrongness of shaming someone for making a moral judgement of the wrongness of whatever it is they've done. It's bizarre.
