RE: Being Mean to Statists
Of course, but this isn't quite correct:
I may feel dominant and even 'righteous'
It's not about whether one feels righteous but whether one really is. Someone doing all the things you say above obviously isn't.
You have to make sure that you are on solid ethical ground and shame ideally isn't caused by accusation (as in public shaming), but by the realization of wrongdoing which can happen in multiple ways when the truth is exposed.
Yes your last paragraph is where all the juice is, its not shame you are really talking about here, its understanding. With new understandings comes the opportunity to make new choices.
The things that concerns me the most are the military and police. We will never win them over by trying to shame them or abuse them in some other way. It never works
However people are makes perfect sense in the context of their own personal experiences.
