Shame is dead. We killed it.

Same energy

I've heard arguments that there is a level of bullying that is healthy for society and i think there is something to that.
(Username checks out) I think there is such a thing as positive peer pressure to give people social conformance and therefore drive unity, but the trick is when there are mexican standoffs between worldviews, you get tribalism and disunity like we've dealt with since 9/11.
 
Shame: It was killed by narcissism and body positivity.

That and people use "Judge not, lest ye be judged" today as a "don't judge me" catch-all against judging when it simply saying judge people by the standards you judge yourself.

East Asia is a good example of this where conformity is enforced by excluding you from the society if you step out of line. It's form of collective bullying.

I feel it's because people without shame consistently get rewarded and others see that, then partake. Just a simple thought on the OP.

Is this surprising to anyone? What used to be shameful is now something you should be proud about. They teach kids in school that "love is love", that it's cool to be different and we as a society should never judge anyone for that. Add internet to the mix and now people with the weirdest fetishes will find others like them in digital communities where they normalize every depravity.

Anyone on any gay app who messages me and wears them dog masks they get ignored immediately. Fuck all that.
