Thinking a lot about shame and shaming this week, its function in society and its inevitable misapplication

I mean, shame to disincentivize socially undesirable behavior makes sense. But how much of it becomes about the shamer feeling good? About themselves & their own choices?

Maybe the two are inextricable. I dunno. But online shaming seems to be one of the more popular quarantining activities right now and now maybe this thread is itself engaged in it? https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤔" title="Thinking face" aria-label="Emoji: Thinking face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤪" title="Zany face" aria-label="Emoji: Zany face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥴" title="Woozy face" aria-label="Emoji: Woozy face">
