I thought relentless shaming was a tool we use to prevent bad people from doing bad things. Maybe I was only thinking of the vaccination conversations.

No, you're right, it applies there, too. How's that working out, by the way?

As Aqua said, downstream of social and economic forces. It can be one’s best option. When I graduated puter school there were no jobs. None. So I went back to trafficking for a few months. It got me through until something opened up and I dropped it like a hot rock.

Sure does. To a point. And provided society's working as it should in about a dozen ways that influence crime rates.

Back when you graduated puter school I rather doubt there were any puters.

So, shame is not a non-factor, and in a politician's messaging, it's not undue to include some of that, against the criminals.

Next time you get held up, give shame-as-strategy a try and let me know how it turns out.
