my poaster brain is at war with my theorycel brain over captioning "we need to bring shame back"
Shame is political (repository of power), localised (experienced in the immediate), learnt (acquired through observation and habit formation), and social (exists through externalities, not as something that is limited to individuals). It is political in the sense that it uses the same language as power and is used rather effectively to create fixed hierarchies. Shame is political in its formulation, processes, and consequences with profound bearings on democratic and decent societies. - The Political in Shame, Jigyasa Sogarwal
